Description

The national monument is a very remote and undeveloped place jointly managed by the National Park Service (NPS) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). There are no paved roads into the monument and no visitor services. The Шаблон:Convert monument is larger than the state of Rhode Island. The BLM portion of the monument consists of Шаблон:Convert.[2] The NPS portion contains Шаблон:Convert of lands that were previously part of Lake Mead National Recreation Area. There are also about Шаблон:Convert of Arizona State Land Department lands and Шаблон:Convert of private lands within the monument boundaries. Grand Canyon–Parashant is not considered a separate unit of the NPS because its NPS area is counted in Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

Elevation ranges from Шаблон:Convert above sea level near Grand Wash Bay at Lake Mead, to Шаблон:Convert at Mount Trumbull. The Interagency Information Center is located in the BLM Office in St. George, Utah.

The name Parashant is derived from the Paiute word Pawteh 'ee oasoasant, meaning "tanned elk hide," or "softening of the elk hide."[3]

There are a number of ruins of former Mormon settlements in the area, such as the Oak Grove Dairy.[4]
