UTAH. Grand Monumentcase-Escalante National Monument. Highway 1

Layered sandstone cliffs rise above a desert canyon in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, where rugged mesas, eroded rock faces, scattered juniper, and a green wash show the grandeur of the American Southwest. The vast formations speak naturally to themes of creation, wilderness, endurance, and the majesty of God revealed through the earth. For Christian ministry use, this landscape supports visual themes of God as Creator, the strength of the mountains, solitude in the wilderness, and worship drawn from beholding the works of His hands.
