About
These ancient canyons showcase 200 million years of erosion near the Colorado River. See layers of vibrant color and fossils 75 million years old. Add 1,000 miles of roads, and you have a vast territory to explore.
Backcountry roads climb the steps. As you go up, you'll discover a younger layer of rock. Imagine what it was like in dinosaur times. This place was probably a shallow tropical ocean teeming with life.
Go off-road a ways and walk along some of the narrow slot canyons. Willis Creek is particularly memorable. You won't need a boat. The water is only 1 to 2 inches deep. The walls are so narrow at some points, you can stretch out your arms and almost touch both sides.
Give a yell and hear an endless echo. Bring plenty of water if you plan to explore on foot.
