	History of Escalante, Utah
		Although the Anglo-American settlement of Escalante began in the spring of 1875 by a group of men from Panguitch desiring to find a location with a milder climate, signs of inhabitation of the area reached back much farther with evidence of the Fremont and Anasazi cultures in the area.
		Escalante remained an outpost on the Mormon frontier for many years and was the last community through which the famous Hole-in-the Rock expedition passed in 1879 on its epic six-month journey to the San Juan River in southeastern Utah.
		Visitors come to hike the Escalante River, follow the historic Hole-in-the-Rock Trail, view ancient Indians structures and rock art, traverse the magnificent Burr Trail to Lake Powell, and drive the 120-mile-long "Scenic By-Way"-Highway 12-connecting Bryce Canyon National Park and Capitol Reef National Park, along which Escalante is located in the middle.

	Land Use History of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Utah (part 1 of 4) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		With an area of 1.7 million acres, or 3% of the area of Utah, the monument is the second largest in the lower 48 states [map].
		For example, Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene plant macrofossils found in sandstone alcoves of the Escalante River Basin were analyzed by Kim Withers and Jim Mead in order to construct a chronology of climate change based on the corresponding vegetation change.
		The plant deposits, dated to 12,700 to 7,500 years B.P., provide evidence that the Colorado Plateau was cooler and wetter during the Late Pleistocene, gradually becoming warmer and drier as the climate shifted in the Early Holocene, and groundwater and stream base levels decreased (see Changing Climates on the Colorado Plateau).
