You can get to the adjacent Glen Canyon National Recreation Area practically without noticing it, although this does require some seriously difficult driving and possibly some overland desert hiking
Zion National Park the most visited of all Utah's National Parks
Bryce Canyon National Park at the edge of the Grand Staircase but not within the boundaries of the monument. Bryce Canyon is one of those places that has jaw dropping beauty
The Grand Canyon North Rim
The bottom layer of the Grand Staircase and one of the seven wonders of the world. This rim is the more spectacular of the rims but its rustic setting keeps visitors to a minimum when compared to the commercial and populated South Rim. The Grand Canyon although part of the geological make-up is not within the boundaries of the monument.
Cedar Breaks National Monument
Often considered to be a top riser in the geography of the Grand Staircase although the boundaries are not within the monument. This is a spectacular monument that rivals Bryce Canyon National Park. It gets less visitors but its beauty certainly does not pale with the other parks.
Red Canyon Dixie National Forest
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
Paria Canyon The Wave! A hot spot for photographers and hikers alike. Although Paria Canyon special permit area is on the edge of the monument it is not part of it.
