40 Acre Escalante Canyon Retreat
This river front home tucked in between large cottonwood shade trees with views on all sides of the Escalante Canyon, meadows, cliffs, and river. Hike from the front door to first class scenic wonders. There are natural wonders right out the front door and within an hour's drive. Look for deer and wild turkey in the meadow in the mornings and evenings and watch the cloud shadows change over the canyon walls. Head up or down the canyon into rugged wilderness, and return home to comfort. The space About the owners Doug, Miranda, and Katie Howland: Doug came across this property in the early '90s. He fell in love with it not only for its beauty, but also because it is both accessible and secluded with the Escalante River flowing through it. Doug is a 35-year designer/builder who built this beautiful home. His youngest daughter Katie lives in Portland with her older sister Miranda. After a career in the arts, Katie now manages the family’s properties. They built the house over a 7-year period in the late 90’s, commuting 7 hours each way from their home in Arizona. Doug now migrate between their properties in Arizona, Utah, and Hawaii. Guest access You are free to explore the entire space! Other things to note Low water crossing You do have to cross a low water crossing to get to our home. Please **DO NOT CROSS DURING FLASH FLOODS**. 4 WD vehicles are always recommended, though not required. The water crossing has a paved concrete bottom and is usually about 6 inches to 1 foot high. There is a red fence post driven into the ground on our upstream side of the crossing. It enters the ground approx. 2.5 ft above the crossing bottom. If it is over 2 feet please wait until the water subsides, usually an hour or two. If you get to the crossing and the sand bank needs to be knocked down, there is a half length shovel in the trees to the right hand side of the road at the crossing. If this crossing is too high you may park at the trail head across Hwy 12 pass the Escalante Bridge. At that point you will be on our side of the river. There is a hiking trail that will take you to our home. Once you come to a dirt road that is the road to our home. It is about 3/4 of a mile. If it has been raining you can go to: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?site_no=09337500 This is a reading of a river height gauge in Escalante town. There are a couple of drainages that drain into the Escalante before the water gets to us but it is still a pretty good reading of the water height.
