All of this is Native American flute music that puts me in a state of mind to better understand the spiritual ways of these fascinating people. We can all learn a lot from the early ones who chose to roam this measureless land. The ancient Anasazi people adapted well to their setting. They because expert masons and built amazing multi-family homes using stone and plaster. The Escalante has a strong presence of the ancient ones because evidence of their culture still lives on.
Most Anasazi sightings require getting off the boat and slapping on a pair of hiking boots.
You can find petroglyphs, ruins and carved steps throughout the whole Escalante Arm. The hike beyond the water's edge in Davis Gulch has history written all over it, from both ancient times and more modern cowboy days. I highly recommend this hike, but plan on at least six hours roundtrip if you go all the way to the famous Bement Arch. Explorer Canyon houses some very unusual petroglyphs beyond the beaver dams and just past Zane Grey Arch. This is also a fun and exciting adventure so plan on about a half-day to soak it all in.
