The Bureau of Land Management is closing the Calf Creek Recreation Area in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument to make upgrades and improvements.
The closure is necessary due to the increasing popularity of the area and the need for infrastructure enhancements. The upgrades will include new vault toilets, camping areas, road improvements, bridge replacements, and improvements to the retaining walls. The project is funded through the Great American Outdoor Act and will be completed in phases over several years. Alternative recreation sites are provided for visitors during the closure.
