About the program
The Arizona Strip District is the Bureau of Land Management’s northernmost district in Arizona, encompassing more than 2.7 million acres of remote public lands located north of the Grand Canyon and south of the Utah state line. The closest town to the east of the district is Page, Arizona, and the closest town to the west is Mesquite, Nevada. The public lands information center and district office are located in St. George, Utah, the largest nearby city. As one of the most rugged and least developed regions in the lower 48 states, the Arizona Strip region requires careful planning and preparation. Visitors should be ready for remote backcountry travel on unimproved roads, limited services, and potentially extreme weather conditions. The Arizona Strip District is managed for conservation, recreation, grazing, cultural resource protection, and a variety of multiple‑use activities. The district includes four management units: the Arizona Strip Field Office, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Grand Canyon–Parashant National Monument jointly managed under a service first agreement with the National Park Service, and the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument jointly managed with the U.S. Forest Service.
