The Ancient Puebloan Granary at Grand Staircase-Escalante National
Monument in Escalante, Utah is an easy out-and-back walk that leads
to a roadside information kiosk with a view of an ancient granary.
This
is not a hike but rather a short walk located on UT-12 in Escalante to reach a roadside kiosk that informs visitors about the ancient Puebloan people that once lived and named this area for more than 11,000 years. If you look carefully at the cliff face on the other side of the road (facing north), you'll see an Ancient Puebloan granary. The granary is easy to overlook but visitors can use the sight tube installed at the kiosk to help locate it. The Ancient Puebloans used this granary to store food like corn, beans, and wild edibles like rice grass and pinyon pine nuts. The Ancient Puebloan's descendants are the Hopi, Paiute, Navajo, Zuni, and Ute.
Universal Access
This point-of-interest has a universally-accessible paved path that reaches the viewing area and information kiosks.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
