Just twenty paces from Metate Arch are features like this in the Devils Garden.

Traveling from Bryce Canyon to Moab, we took scenic highway 12. My wonderful friend Yuki told us about this coffee house along the route. It's really hidden from the highway, but if you know it's there, it'll be your new favorite place for coffee.

You can rent the 'kottage' overnight, which Yuki had done. She reported that it was absolutely amazing.

Gorgeous views!

The slot canyons in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument are a fascinating and unique hike. Wandering through the narrow canyons and high cliff walls, you sometimes can barely see the trail in front of you as it twists and turns. This trail is the Cottonwood Narrows, which is a relatively easy hike accessed via Road 400. And bonus for dog owners - dogs are allowed to hike with you! #utah #grandstaircase #dogfriendly #hiking

Located within the Grand Staircase National Monument, Grosvenor Arch is a unique sandstone double arch named for a former president of the National Geographic Society. It can only be accessed via Road 400, which is a long dirt road that is often impassable, particularly during rainy weather. Luckily for us it had been dry for several days prior to our visit, but the road is poorly maintained and I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a 4WD vehicle. #utah #grandstaircase #grosvenorarch
