1. In 1849, the first United States militia to explore the area were disgusted by the scenery. The valley was “as desolate and repulsive-looking a country as can be imagined,” Capt. John G. Walker wrote in Executive Documents printed by order of the United States Senate.
2. In the 1930s, John Ford started filming Westernized movies here, launching the landscape into international fame.
3. The size of the park is 91,696 acres in Utah/Arizona and is at an elevation of 5,564 feet above sea level.
