Grand Staircase National Monument

WinGate Wilderness Therapy is located in the Grand Staircase National Monument, one of the most remote and largest National Monuments in the United States with 1.9 million acres in all. Geologist Clarence Dutton named the region back in the 1870s. He visualized it as a giant set of stairs leading up from the bottom of the Grand Canyon—ledge to ledge to ledge. These exposed sedimentary layers preserve more of the earth’s geological history than any other place in the world. The awe-inspiring region stretches up from the Grand Canyon out toward Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, and Lake Powell.
WinGate is on the western side of the Grand Staircase National Monument. Our wilderness therapy groups hike and camp in these remote areas in order to remain free from outside influences while allowing students to experience the wonders of nature. Visitors to the area generally remain on the eastern Escalante side.
