Escalante View

[Bart Carrig]

When I made a quick run to Escalante in May, I forgot to post an 11-24 capture of the view to the east off Rte 24 South of Boulder. (When you look west, you're above the canyon leading to lower Calf Creek, falls, but if you look East, the canyon on that side snakes along the foreground.

So it was worth a capture:

You can never go wrong in Escalante

Escalante is a great place and one we don’t see enough of Bart. I am glad you found this one.

This is a great view showing the vastness of the area

I know this view quite well - very close to (or on) the Hogback. On a clear day it's so wide open the scene seems almost infinite.

I believe the road is actually UT12. UT24 is the road that goes east from Salina through Torrey and UT12 goes south from Torrey through Boulder, Escalante, and Bryce.

I agree with and share Alan's comments. I've been to that view too many times to remember and am always thrilled to see it again.

 

[Bart Carrig]

Oops, thanks Alan, Rte 12 (did them both while I was there). I agree, Jeffrey, love the locations, and there' are a lot of sights to enjoy off the beaten path
