The Impossible Pioneer Journey - Hole in the Rock Road, Utah

Come and explore the Hole in the Rock Road, where in 1879, Mormon pioneers carved a route from Escalante, Utah, to Bluff Utah. This route covered over 200 miles of some of the most rugged and uncharted territory in the west. This journey included carving a slot down to the Colorado river. This place is called, Hole In The Rock!

Truly an incredulous journey for those pioneers. Still, seeing this as close up as you took us, it actually seems impossible that all those wagons & horses went through this deep and narrow crevasse!

It is amazing they went down it. Thanks for watching!

Great video, thank you for pronouncing Escalante correctly. My grandpa was one of the first ones to come upon the crash of the Boy Scouts.

[@adventurelifewithbob2960]

Thank you so much for the incredible story. I was 3 miles short of seeing it a few years ago but I couldn’t get through with my truck. I love how you present your videos with your beautiful wife or partner. Great photos too! Happy travels!

Until now I didn’t know that this road has real hole in the rock. I know this road for spooky slot canyon, coyote guch etc.
Thanks for the history telling!

How difficult is the hike to the water

[@adventurelifewithbob2960]

It is steep and rocky, but if you are in good shape, it’s doable.

Wer the wagons only 3 ft wide?

[@adventurelifewithbob2960]

probably 4 to 5 feet.
