Escalante Canyon
Escalante Canyon is a quiet agricultural canyon south of Delta where the Escalante Creek has carved through layers of red and brown sandstone. Historic Captain Smith's Cabin, a one-room log structure from 1910, sits in the canyon along a dirt road. Spring brings wildflowers and flowing water to the seasonal creek.
