Walking the Grand Staircase
Approaching Lake Powell from the north, our eyes trace the landscape of the Escalante National Forest and we visualize the steps of the Grand Staircase as they lead us toward the horizon. Seeing it from this angle, the steps appear as exaggerated protrusions along the southward running canyons. Their depth and regularity seem to convey us down the staircase to the south and Lake Powell.
