Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument Favorite Tips by blueskyjohn Top 5 Page for this destination

showers

Favorite thing: I have camped many times in this area and on occasion spend many days in the wilderness. When I am done it is nice to take a shower. If you don't want to get a hotel room, your best option is to drive about 30 minutes to Kodechrome State Park which has a public shower for about $2. It is a blessing in the desert.

Another shower!

Favorite thing: There is a trailer park located just down the road from the national monument visitor center, on the same side of the road toward the town of Escalante. The showers are clean but beware the hot water does not last long. I found on my last visit they like to boast their four large water heaters but they fail to tell you they are on vacation mode, at least every time I was there. Last time I just went and turned the dial up as high as it can go on all four. That really did the trick for our group of 12! Shower cost $5.
