Escalante is in the middle of nowhere. It was made a national monument in 96 by President Clinton and is bigger than Rhode Island. This view is off the side of route 12, by far one of the most spectacular roads I have ever been on. You can see forever and its all this crazy mars landscape. If I were a settler or a old time cowboy I would be so pissed that I had to travel over this terrain. The coolest thing though is that in a place like this geology makes sense on a huge scale. Here you can see firsthand without any doubt that yes this land used to be an ocean and yes the earth moves, and quite a bit. Its like there is a huge rift in the land.
