The
American Desert. A wild, remote, and beautiful region
where shifting landscapes rise and fall like the swells
of a great sedimentary ocean. Here, in this realm of
sagebrush and sunshine, there is a massive staircase
of stone—a series of technicolor cliffs that descend
from the north—known today as the Grand Staircase
of the Colorado Plateau.
Beginning
atop the Pink Cliffs of Utah’s Bryce Canyon; passing
through the deep cross-bedded heart of Zion’s
White Cliffs: and finally coming to rest on the Kaibab
Plateau at the North Rim of Arizona’s Grand Canyon,
it is a landscape that reveals the craftsmanship of
time’s effect on stone.
Come,
drift like a bee from stair to stair drinking in the
desert’s sweetness. Follow your curiosity down
into the amphitheaters of Bryce; deeper into the narrow
canyons of Zion; and to the vertiginous ledge of the
world’s most famous gorge: Grand Canyon. Let the
Grand Staircase Collection whisk you away on an enlightening
voyage into its red rock soul.
