The Escalante was the last major river to be mapped and
named by early settlers of the American west. This means that the river
and the area surrounding are supremely remote and difficult to traverse.
Most areas lack distinctive paths and may prove strenuous, but when
you stumble upon Escalante, you’ll know it.
Providing some of the strangest rock formations and canyon walls in
Utah, the Escalante makes for an awestruck trip. A float down the river
will show visitors just how remote Utah wildlife can be. Wildlife sprawls
all along the banks and cliffs and side canyons as the river twists
through the earth. If you hike around the tributary, be ready to share
the land with black bears, mountain lions and bobcats. |
