During your Escalante Petrified Forest State Park camping excursion, you'll want to explore the surrounding area. There are plenty of attractions, museums, and monuments near the state park that are worth your time. The museum at Anasazi State Park is home to one of the largest Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) villages west of the Colorado River, making it well worth the drive 30 miles northeast to Boulder. Just over 100 miles to the southwest is the small town of Kanab, home of the Moqui Cave. Originally serving as a speakeasy in the 1950s, the cave is now home to a collection of gorgeous rocks, Native American artifacts, and even some dinosaur tracks that you can look at as you explore the area. If you want to keep your RV rental a bit closer to town, stop by the Grand Staircase National Monument, which is about 30 minutes away from Escalante Petrified Forest State Park. This national monument is a must-see for anyone camping in the area, boasting acres upon acres of stunning rock formations due to sedimentary erosion. Hikers looking for a challenge will find one on the trails that wind their way through the breathtaking canyons and biodiverse landscape. Wildlife watchers will jump at the chance to catch a glimpse of the big beasts that roam through the Beehive State, including coyotes, black bears, and mountain lions.
