In the infancy of the LDS Church, efforts were underway to populate the Utah Territory in an effort to claim the land. One such effort was a courageous expedition through an area East of Escalante toward what is now the SouthEastern corner of the state. Their trials are now a thing of legend from the harshness they endured. The trail they paved is called the Hole in the Rock Trail, and to travel it by vehicle, you gain a new appreciation for their pioneer ingenuity. They took horse drawn wagons over terrain I would not dare to drive today.
The area we visited is South of Hall's Crossing Marina at Lake Powell, and is a several day out and back trip. I would rate it a 3+ in skill, and a 10 in beauty.
