From Escalante we took Hole in the Rock Road. The road goes all the way to lake Powell and the Hole is where a Morman party cut steps through a slot in the cliff to pull their wagons up. It is also access to several trailheads that go into the Paria River. There is also a wash where three great slot canyons open into. Dry Fork, Spooky, and Peek- a- Boo make for some great hiking. Unfortunately a lot has changed since I was there years ago when with 4WD you could drive right to the wash and then we saw only one other person there the entire day. Now there is a fenced area where you can park and hike to the wash. Even early in the morning there were 20 or more cars there and the small narrow slot canyons will be very crowed. The Devils Garden and Egypt is also off the road.
