Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument - UTAH!

Escalante Grand Staircase

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and Be one traveler, long I stood and Looked down one as far as I could To were it bend in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same.
