7Day 6. Get A Gander Of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
This place is less than 28 miles from the city of Page. It is perfect for backcountry adventures! Here you can stop and enjoy ancient arches, prehistoric sites, multicolored cliffs, natural bridges, several slot canyons, and even a couple of long-abandoned movie sets.
While it is famous for its namesake Grand Staircase, there are several other noteworthy landmarks to see including Cottonwood Canyon, Grosvenor Arch, and Kodachrome Basin State Park. Furthermore, this area was once the home of the Fremont and Anasazi and Fremont, so you will also see a plethora of petroglyphs as you wander around here. Finally, this remote spot features five separate ecosystems that range from verdant pine forests to low-lying deserts.

Your trip sounds good too but we had to cover a lot of area in 10 days. We all have our own opinions and favorites. I just think it’s great we have so many options!
