Hole-in-the-Rock | Glen Canyon National Recreation Area




Enjoy Utah’s Archaeology and Preservation Month with us by visiting some of our historic locations, like Hole-in-the-Rock. This feature stands as a monument to the tenacity and ingenuity of the 250 Mormon men, women, and children that spent the winter of 1879 pickaxing, blasting, and widening a natural fault so that their wagons could pass down the 2,000 foot descent to the Colorado River and then on to a new settlement in what is now Bluff, Utah. #archaeology #pioneers #VisitWithRespect#FindYourPark
