Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Carly Klein and Paddy O'Connell
Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument spans across nearly 1.87 million acres of southern Utah. Due to its remote location and rugged landscape, the monument was one of the last places in the continental United States to be mapped. These lands hold a special place in the soul of pioneers, explorers, Native Americans, and travelers from all walks of life. It is not an easy place to visit — it is primitive, remote, and unforgiving. It is also filled with hoodoos, slot canyons, natural bridges, and arches...not to mention incredible silence and dark skies. Because of these qualities, every trip is special. With your care it will retain those elements of challenge, untrammeled beauty, and frontier spirit. Be sure to take time to check it out!

Breakfast and lunch Saturday will be on your own. We recommend Kiva Koffeehouse for breakfast https://www.kivakoffeehouse.com/ or the Burr Trail Outpost. For lunch, check out the Burr Trail Grill: https://burrtrailgrill.life/
