Yup, this national monument is so large, it needs multiple visitor centers! This national monument seems to be overlooked as its neighbors seem to get a lot more attention. This visitor center focuses on the geology, ecosystem, and fossils of the area. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask the rangers for some hiking recommendations. I heard there were some hikes that lead to exposed fossils, but wasn't able to get much information online. Oh well. I found that the exhibits were quite informative, and some of them were hands on-great for little ones. There are exhibits both indoors and outdoors. If you want to rest and enjoy a snack, there's a covered picnic area which sits directly across from the restrooms.

The Escalante Interagency Visitor Center is a terrific place to start your explorations of wondrous…read moreGrand Staircase - Escalante National Monument. Alright, well I'll start abbreviating, lol...GSENM. It covers a huge area of Southern Utah, specifically, 1.9 million acres of public land. If you don't come prepared ahead of time, it can be an intimidating adventure and you can stumble on how to efficiently navigate your way around this remote, yet beautiful part of the country. That's why I believe if you start at the Interagency VC...you can handcraft the places and stops you'd like to see and best of all, when I visited, there were multiple park rangers standing behind the counter patiently waiting to assist tourists with their questions. Inside the VC...it's relatively small in stature...and there's a tiny little gift shop for picking up GSENM souvenirs. Plus, they have various stamping options to put into your Parks Passport. Of course, for myself, the ritual is to punch every page (front and back) even including using the Junior Ranger stamp, lol. Speaking with the park rangers was necessary because...I arrived here on a whim without a set game-plan. What I never realized about GSENM is that about half of the territory can only be accessed by 4x4 - off road vehicles. And that I did not have with me. So...certain attractions, landmarks and hikes are off-limit to cars not accommodative for dirt/gravel roads. And...this was informative because I was able to better design my itinerary with the park ranger once I told him I only had a midsize car with me. Still, here were some fun highlights that the ranger recommended.... - Hike to Lower Calf Creek Falls. - Hike to Escalante Natural Bridge. - Escalante Petrified Forest State Park. - Anasazi State Park Museum. - Walk among the Toadstools. - Kodachrome Basin State Park. Another good aspect to this Interagency VC is that it's located in the quiet town of Escalante, Utah...good for convenience stores, filling up your gas tank, purchasing supplies/necessities and sitting down at restaurants. After stopping here midday and before venturing out on my journey, I drove down the road to the Escalante Outfitters Restaurant for homemade pizza and cold beer. Overall, I'm really happy I made the effort to stop in at this Escalante Interagency Visitor Center before attempting to explore GSENM on my own. It was worthwhile to speak with the park rangers and to narrow down the activity options appropriate for my participation level.

Bambi was incredibly rude and left a really bad taste in our mouths. Beautiful place, but…read moreunfortunately, our experience with her overshadowed the entire tour. :( This happened on December 31, 2024, and almost two years later, I'm still sad enough about our experience that I feel compelled to finally write this review. The place itself was absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, our guide, Bambi, was incredibly rude to us, and it really put a damper on what should have been such a memorable experience. :( One instance that stuck with me was when my dad accidentally hit his head on one of the canyon walls. Instead of showing any concern or empathy, Bambi told us that we needed to make sure we were watching him, almost as if he were an unruly child. It was such an unnecessary and condescending response to someone simply having an accident. Throughout the tour, she also didn't seem very interested in actually telling us about the canyon or making the experience enjoyable. It honestly felt like we were being herded around like sheep she didn't want to watch over. Everything felt rushed and impersonal, and like she just wanted to get the tour over with. :( Something else that has bothered me: while looking through other reviews mentioning negative experiences with Bambi, I noticed that several were from people with Asian-sounding names. We are Asian as well. Obviously, I can't say for sure that this had anything to do with how we were treated, but after our experience, I couldn't help but notice the pattern. I really wish we'd had a guide who made us feel welcome and excited to be there, because unfortunately, Bambi's attitude is still what I remember most about the experience almost two years later.

Visiting Best Friends Animal Sanctuary was truly the experience of a lifetime. I have been a donor…read moreand member for over 18 years and my dreams of visiting the sanctuary exceeded all expectations. The sanctuary tour was informative and breathtaking, and the Pig & Goat Tour was an absolute highlight. Our tour guides, Cat and Tolo, were knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the animals in their care. Their stories and dedication made the experience even more meaningful. What touched me most, however, was meeting one of the many volunteers who travel to the sanctuary each year to give their time in service of its incredible mission. I met Holly, whose story deeply inspired me. She shared why she gratefully sets aside time from her own life to come here and be part of the sanctuary's mission to "Save Them All." Her compassion and selflessness reminded me that every volunteer is an essential piece of a much larger puzzle, giving hope to animals who deserve love, safety, and a second chance. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is so much more than a place to visit--it's a place that changes your perspective and fills your heart. Whether you come for a tour, volunteer, or simply experience the sanctuary, you'll leave inspired by the extraordinary people, the resilient animals, and the unwavering commitment to creating a better world for them. I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I know this won't be my last visit.

They had availability for the Grand Tour and after eating at the nearby Angel Village Cafe, we were off on the shuttle. Ours was a pretty personal tour with only 6 people in total. We first went over to see the resident pigs, including plenty of petting. I loved how they flopped down, ready for belly scratches, immediately upon us entering the pen! We then took a drive around Dogtown, then a stop at Cat World, including a visit into one of the 11 buildings on site. Plenty of cats lounging around to pet. Finally, we drove around the Bunny House, Wild Friends building, and Horse Haven. All in all, it took around an hour and a half, with plenty of excellent commentary the entire time. I do have to say I am a little skeptical about some of the stories - for example our tour guide Amanda told us about an animal shelter which didn't have any employees on site during the weekends so every Friday they euthanized the animals in their care... No way, right? Before visiting Best Friends Animal Society, I thought it was kind of cult-like, but they don't seem to be particularly pushy. In the end, it's a free tour, making it a cheap and entertaining way to spend an afternoon.
