Grand Staircase Escalante: The Grand Staircase is a remote region in southern Utah which is located between Escalante and Lake Powell. The trails we will be driving will be Croton Road & Alvey Road (north to Escalante) and Hole in the Rock Road (SE to Lake Powell). The Hole in the Rock Road is a historic trail which leads to the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and ends at the “Hole in the Rock” above Lake Powell. Mormon settlers seeking a route to southeast Utah in 1880 came to this 1,200 foot cliff and had to lower their wagons down to the canyon floor to cross the Colorado River. The hole-in-the-rock refers to the crack in the rock wall above Glen Canyon which the pioneers had to widen. If time permits, we will take a side trip to Alstrom Point. This will be an extended 4 day trip.
