To the east of the road, lies hundreds of miles of barely explored desert land. The town of Escalante itself is very small and not much to look at. We were told to wear old clothes that we didn’t mind ruining and told to turn up for a briefing in the office before our guide would take us out into the Escalante Grand Staircase Monument. Our trip would involve rappelling (abseiling) and then squeezing through narrow gaps, going deeper and deeper into the canyon.
