The paleontological values contained within the WSA are of scientific value.
Invertebrate and vertebrate specimens are found in the Straight Cliffs.The
Straight Cliffs, raising 2,000 feet above the Escalante Valley floor, are a
scenic landmark in southern Utah. The cliffs are the dominant topographic
feature between the Town of Escalante and Lake Powell, and provide spectacular
scenic views of the Escalante River drainage, the Waterpocket Fold, Boulder
Mountain, and the Henry Mountains.

ephemeral streams.Landscapes in the WSA are characteristic of the scenic
geology of the Escalante River basin.The Twenty five Mile Wash Canyon and one
tributary canyon are entrenched and meandering, cut into red standstone, and
support riparian vegetation. The contrasts of colors and forms represent the
classic scenery of the Glen Canyon Escalante region.

The Kanab Field Office, managed within the Paria River District, is located in
Utah’s Kane County, near the Utah-Arizona border, Lake Powell, and Arizona's
Grand Canyon. East of Kanab are the Vermilion Cliffs that run north through
open country. The Paria River cuts through the Vermilion Cliffs traveling
through the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area on the Utah-Arizona
border. Backpackers who visit this area hike through narrow, twisting canyons
of the Paria River. Off road enthusiasts frequent the Coral Pink Sand Dunes to
capitalize on this unparalleled recreation opportunity. Landscapes in this
area differ from other areas as the abundance of sandy soils and red rock
formations intermingle with several archeological treasures to provide some
unique sight-seeing and day hiking opportunities. Sage brush, grass, and
pinyon juniper ecosystems intermingle with small pockets of ponderosa pine
trees, providing for vast acres of world class mule deer habitat and trophy
animals that spend their summer months thriving on the Paunsaugunt Management
Area.

large and geographically complex. It is associated with a section of the
Escalante River Canyon between the Glen Canyon NRA and the highway between
Boulder and Escalante, Utah. This area has some of the most outstanding
scenery in the country. East of Horse Canyon in the eastern portion of the
area, canyons draining to Horse Canyon through the Circle Cliffs escarpment
have created a unique canyon and bench system.Wolverine Canyon and Little
Death Hollow possess extremely narrow and convoluted sections, but the most
distinctive topographic feature is the surface of the benches.
