Description

The Escalante Overland Route was proposed by Steve Allen in the end of his book, Canyoneering 3, as an incredibly demanding and challenging off-trail route finding and navigation extravaganza, requiring advanced Canyoneering, climbing, and navigational skills. The route starts on Hwy 12 northeast of the town of Escalante, and end at either the Red Well TH (as described in Allen's book) or the 40-mile TH (~1 mile longer, but includes some of the excellent Coyote Gulch), off of the Hole in the Rock Road.
