    "It's horizontal whereas the Grand Staircase door is vertical"??? So you did visit the sign?

    Sorry you disagree with me, but I'm still betting your photo is the Grand Staircase sign. Anyone can see and touch it, and take the same exact angle photograph. It is on Cottonwood Canyon Rd. off route 89, in lower Utah, 35 miles East of Kanab. Your Photo does not lie! Six planks wide and four step downs on the top right of the sign, which were ONLY designed for THESE signs. Old doors don't have new aluminum metal posts and the same bolt pattern and wood as the NM sign! What are the odds of the same custom shape, wood, height, width, bolts, square alumium posts, special oblong cement footings, and red rock background! Send the photo to the Southern Utah BLM office and ask them. They will ID the power lines showing in the picture. Everyone hates them running down the canyon. Read this paragraph on Cottonwood Canyon Rd -

    And here is another picture of the other matching twin sign up near Kodachrome SP at the upper entrance of Grand Staircase. Again, same special shape and size!

    Nice try with the door story! That is the back of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument sign near the Paria river in Southern Utah, not Page Arizona. The road starts up near Kodachrome SP and ends down at highway 89 where this sign is.

    Note: Notice the bullet holes in the back of the sign on your photo. Someone has already used it for target practice!

  1. Killer photos! Makes me want to get back up there! You should try selling some of these at REI. I see many photos being sold there that are not nearly as good as yours. Also, what type of tripod do you use when you are backpacking? My Elan and Canon lens never pull off this clarity!
