Hole in the Rock - Escalante Heritage Site
Description: In this small open-air museum, you can learn all about the Mormon pioneers who were looking for a route to their new settlement areas further east. There are displays, pictures and lots of exhibits such as covered wagons from the time. Among other things, the Hole in the Rock Road was created during this expedition and is still in use today.
Admission fees: Free of charge
Not covered by the America the Beautiful Pass*.
Opening hours: March through October, daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
*The America the Beatiful pass is so to speak the "flat rate" for all Parks managed by the National Park Service. The pass costs a one-time fee of $250 and can be purchased at the entrance to each National Park, National Monument, etc. The pass is valid for 13 months.
Our rating: Although we were there during the official opening hours, the museum was unfortunately closed when we visited in June 2023. We were therefore only able to visit the outdoor area. The museum is a nice addition to a drive along the Hole in the Rock Road and provides lots of interesting information about the history of the road.
