DASIA’s mission is to enhance the understanding of the history and resources of nearly 2 million acres straddling northwestern Arizona and southwestern Utah, including: Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, Dixie National Forest, Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area, the Arizona Strip District, Old Spanish National Historic Trail and the St. George Field Office.
The field office oversees five wilderness areas, including the internationally known Paria Canyon / Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area, the Old Spanish National Historic Trail, nine Areas of Critical Environmental Concern, and two river segments suitable for Wild & Scenic River designation.
The Grand Canyon isolates the Arizona Strip from the rest of Arizona, making it among the most remote and rugged public land in the lower 48 states. With nearly 4,000 miles of unpaved roads in this spectacular remote region, this distinctive part of Arizona has a special appeal to many people.
