4. Grand Staircase - Escalente National Monument (245 miles)
Declared a National Monument in 1996, the Grand Staircase-Escalante is a sprawling wilderness site and is largely considered to be one of the least explored parts of the country. There are a ton of incredible sights here, including the Zebra Slot Canyon, with its towering striped rocks, and the Devil’s Garden, whose massive rock formations are something to marvel at. Without a doubt, this is a road trip that you’ll never forget.
