Campsite up canyon from The Flats

It’s located in the northernmost part of Grand Staircase up a dead end spur road and next to a wash. We are camped among some large pinyon pines and junipers, and Pinyon Jays are calling out frequently as they fly above us in the canyon. Part of this site is ruled by ants, so we had to park the truck away from them. 🐜 🤣 Near our campsite is a cemented-up entry to a mine. Up the wash we found chunks of petrified wood here and there and some fossils in the sandstone. SO amazing!Read more
