Grand Gulch

Wilderness Study Area - Utah

The Grand Gulch Instant Study Area is in the Canyonlands Section of the Colorado Plateau Physiographic Province. This WSA is predominantly a network of sinuous canyons, totaling more than 190 miles in length, that are tributary to the San Juan River. Pinyon-juniper woodland, sagebrush, and blackbrush are the predominant types of vegetation. Canyons, pinnacles, pedestals, knobs, arches, and alcoves offer unique and dramatic and colorful views in nearly every part of the area. The area contains extensive remains of Ancestral Puebloan dwellers occupation from about 200 A.D. to 1300 A.D including lithic scatters, walled fireplaces, pictographs, petroglyphs, pithouses, pottery shards, towers, cliff dwellings, and kivas. Multiple trailheads (Todie Flat, Bullet Canyon, Slickhorn Complex and Government trailheads) are located to the west of Highway 261 between the Kane Gulch Ranger Station and the Moki Dugway.
