Scenic Drives

Tips for a safe and enjoyable trip

• Call the closest Visitor Center (Escalante: 435-826-5499, Big Water: 435-675-3200) or check with a ranger or other official for road and weather conditions before you start out.

• Leave your trip itinerary with someone so you can be located in case of car trouble or other mishap. Remember that cell service is unreliable.

• Pack out everything you pack in. Carry out all trash and food scraps.

• Do not feed wildlife. Human food is harmful to wild animals.

• Always take plenty of drinking water with you.

• Leave the scenery as it is. Do not write or carve on rocks; do not disturb plants or wildlife. Take only pictures; leave behind nothing.
