Where this is

This site is in Kane County, Utah, inside Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument -- BLM-managed canyon country near the Escalante drainage. Free dispersed camping is allowed in designated areas, and the dirt roads turn to impassable clay when wet, so check conditions first. County and setting are confirmed against BLM and NRCS data; the on-the-ground details are still unverified.

Kane County in Utah is a paradise for off-roading with its vast BLM lands. Take your 4X4 to the 'Coral Pink Sand Dunes,' a sea of shifting red sands. The county is also home to 'Wire Pass,' a slot canyon that feeds into the iconic Buckskin Gulch. To experience a true desert oasis, visit the 'Kanab Creek,' perfect for a refreshing dip.
