This is
the view from the trail head at the place that is called Egypt. The
turn off the Hole in the Rock Road for Egypt is 17 miles from the highway.
From the turn off to the trail head is 11 miles on what we considered
a rough road. There were 14 cars at the trail head, some just regular
sedans. It took 1.5 hours from the highway.
Jim walked down
to the Escalante river and back. In the picture above the blue line
traces his route back. The top circle is the river. At the turn on the
left , on the inside, is a white blip which is a party of lamas that
Jim was passing.
Jim describes
his hike.
I had a relaxing day at the top, checking on Jim, reading books, etc.
