Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument

What is "Clinton's Land Grab" doing in with these photos of National Parks? Well, I think President Clinton did the right thing in proclaiming Federal lands in southern Utah to be this glorious National Monument. When Congress gets over its obsession with hating Clinton, they will see the light and make this beautiful, unique area into a National Park. Just wait!

Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument

President Clinton followed the lead of nearly every President of the twentieth century in establishing a National Monument. He established the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument on September 18, 1996. The Monument does not include just one feature, as many monuments and parks do, but instead protects a unique combination of archeological, paleontological, geologic and biologic resources in a relatively unspoiled natural state.
