The Monument has four Management Zones which are the primary tool for managing visitation and other uses in a manner that safeguards its vast array of natural and cultural resources. 

Group size limits – unique to each zone – help preserve and enhance the variety of recreational opportunities available for your group. Larger groups and gatherings are accommodated closer to highways and secondary roads. In more remote areas, smaller groups can enjoy the undeveloped, primitive lands and experiences that are so rare in modern life.

Please use the table and map below to plan your visit.
