Day 4 – 6 April 2018.
Made it to the end of the Hole In The Rock Road – Got a little rocky towards the end – the Vanagon probably wouldn’t have made it.
Rugged Road – Hole in the wall
Caves along the Hole in the Wall Road
Cool Mountains along Hole in the Wall Road
This one called 50 mile mountain
Yep , big rocks along the road
This one looked like something out of Star Wars!
The hole in the rock is a break in the sand mountains to get to Lake Powell. Sometime in the 1880s, settlers used this passage to move 250 people, 85 full sized wagons and 100 livestock through this drop. It was too rugged for us to walk down (because we were still too sore from yesterday!). I can’t imagine full-sized wagons going down this!
There is the hole in the wall!
Peaking through the hole to Lake Powell
Lake Powell, far below
Can you imagine FULL-SIZE Wagons? With Horses!
Looking down hole in the wall
A nice guy (who was contemplating climbing down to the Lake) took our picture
A little history at the top
The we found a nice spot to camp for the night, a bit windy, but no one around
