The remote 37,030-acre Grand Wash Cliffs Wilderness Area is a 12-mile-long stretch of the Grand Wash Cliffs. St. George, Utah, the largest town in the area is 36 air miles north of the wilderness.
Filled with rugged canyons, scenic escarpments, miles of towering cliffs and sandstone buttes, the wilderness marks the transition zone between the Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range provinces. The cliffs are important habitat for the desert tortoise, gila monster and desert bighorn sheep. Vegetation is a mix of Mojave Desert shrubs, annual grasses and pinyon-juniper woodland from colder desert country.
Opportunities for finding solitude and engaging in primitive recreation activities in this beautiful but sparse land is outstanding.
