In 1879 a group of Mormons left Escalante to travel 200 miles and establish a community in San Juan County. The journey took six months. Two of those months were spent creating a road down the cliffs which stood 2000 feet above the Colorado River so that the river could be crossed. The story of this monumental task is told at this small interpretive site located on the outskirts of Escalante. A visitor center is in the process of being created but for now interpretive signs and a wagon do a good job of telling the story.
Everything is accessible.
RVs can be parked lengthwise along the car spaces. Center
