Paria Canyon Directions
From Mount Carmel Junction, drive 17 miles to Kanab. Leave Kanab, drive 40 miles
east on Highway 89. The turn-off is located on the south (right side coming from
Kanab) side of the road. Its between mile markers 25 and 26, at a curve in the
road, at the end of a guard rail. Turn at the unmarked dirt road. This is House
Rock Road.
A hiker makes his way through the impressive
sandstone formations of South Coyote Buttes.
Stateline Campground
It's 10 miles to the Stateline Campground from Highway 89. There are only 4 spots,
so if you want to camp, get a spot early. It's first come first use. Two of the
camp sights are in Utah and two are in Arizona. There is no water, but there
are vault toilets.

In 1984, congress created the Paria Canyon - Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area,
Paria Canyon is part of this area. In 1996, almost two-million acres of Southern
Utah land was designated as the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
Four years later, bordering Arizona land was designated as the Vermillion Cliffs
National Monument.
Paria Canyon contains the spectacular Coyote Buttes Special Management Area.
The notorious sandstone buttes sit at the bottom of Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante
National Monument and the upper section of Arizona's Paria Canyon-Vermillion
Cliffs Wilderness.
On December 24, 1997, North Coyote Buttes and South Coyote Buttes, under the
direction of the BLM, were mandated limits of 20 people per day in North Coyote
Buttes and 10 per day in South Coyote Buttes. South Coyote Buttes will be changing
to 20 people per day in May 2006. Although this seems harsh, remember that this
is a small section of land in a popular wilderness area and if more were to visit,
the pristine, remote experience would be lost.
Vermillion Cliffs National Monument is the administration entity for Paria
Canyon Wilderness which includes Wire Pass, Buckskin Gulch, North and South Coyote
Buttes special permit areas and the Paria River from Highway 89 South. Paria
Canyon Wilderness is bordered on the east by the Glen Canyon National Recreation
Area: north and west of the state line (Az-Ut) bordered by the GSENM.
