What it's about
Parashant National Monument, situated on the northern edge of the Grand Canyon, offers a remote and rugged wilderness experience. This vast and largely undeveloped area features stunning geological formations, diverse plant and animal life, and significant archaeological sites. Visitors can explore ancient lava flows, deep canyons, and expansive plateaus, with opportunities for hiking, backcountry camping, and off-road driving. The monument is known for its pristine night skies, providing an excellent setting for stargazing. Due to its remote location, visitors are advised to be well-prepared and self-sufficient when exploring Parashant.
