BOULDER, Garfield County Federal land managers are seeking a plan that could increase parking and improve infrastructure at a recreation area within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument that s grown in popularity over the past decade.
The Bureau of Land Management on Tuesday unveiled a proposed plan for the Calf Creek Recreation Site that calls for the possibility of building a new overflow and expanding or reconfiguring the main parking area, as well as widening an access road that connects state Route 12 to the parking area and campground.
Other possible improvements proposed include modernizing campgrounds and adding new camping units, as well as replacing old infrastructure such as the recreation site s fee station, restroom building, shade shelters or an access road bridge in the area. A communication fiber line could be installed to allow for digital fee payments or even emergency phones in the area.
