We stopped by and were pleasantly surprised by this heritage center. We enjoyed the short movie which told the story of an amazing group of people that endured unbelievable hardships and succeeded. The volunteers were interesting to talk to as well.

A really warm, engaging staff enhance this monument to the Utah pioneers. This centre tells the story of a determined and resourceful group in a clear and quite inspiring manner. We bottled out on driving our two wheel drive SUV down the unpaved road. These people cut a trail without mechanisation of any sort. Awesome!

We really enjoyed the movie which depicts the hard work of the scientists to document and explain the history of the area. Well worth the time. Kids will love it too.

Quite a story here of human achievement, religious fervor, wrong judgement or just plain old stubborness. Go and judge for yourself.

First of all, we gained so much respect for the Mormon settlers. You have to stay and watch the video! The staff at the center were friendly and welcoming. Great place to stop.

This is a neat little roadside stop just east of Escalante on route 12. Nicely done (looks very new) facility with a covered wagon and informational signboards outside telling the story of the Hole in the Rock pioneer expedition. Inside 2 very nice folks that showed us around the various period displays, and a 15 minute video that told the story of that first expedition. A good place to stop to get an appreciation for the way life was 100+ years ago in these parts.

This is a "must-stop" for anyone intrigued with early American pioneer stories. The Hole-in-the-Rock expedition is explained with an outdoor exhibit, including two large murals depicting the Mormon pioneers lowering their wagons down a treacherous crack in a cliff to reach Lake Powell. The murals are painted by Escalante artist Lynn Griffin, and prints are available inside the wonderful little souvenir shop which also features handmade items, gourmet candies, historical books, and Hole-in-the-Rock souvenirs.

Large murals and photos with explanatory panels tell of the courageous settlers who beat the odds and crossed the mountain through a narrow, steep pass. Nice photo op with a model covered wagon. Restrooms and water fountains. Free. Plenty of parking. Near the actual Hole in the Rock Road but on the opposite side of the highway. Look for signs.

This place will give you a great perspective on what the locals went through to move to another area. I would have just looked at the people in charge and told them I am going back home. The folks that were working here were great to talk with. They knew the history of the area, and we even talked about some of the people that we both knew since I grew up in Panguitch.

This was a nice heritage center. They put the story of early settlers together in a cohesive and understandable way. Really appreciated the outdoor murals representing the trip through hole in the rock.
