Escalante Valley, Utah - With snow capped mountainous peaks in the distance, the Escalante Valley is filled with activities, adventures, and life, I look about from my front porch somewhere in Escalante Valley, Yes, here where the smell of fresh spring cut alfalfa fills the air. Agriculture and farming are abundant as well as underground water for growing fresh vegetables, corn, alfalfa, and other plants.

Dominquez - Escalante Expedition

Great Basin

Seeking a northern route to Monterey, California from Santa Fe, New Mexico a Spanish Franciscan Missionary, explorer Father Silvestre Valez de Escalante and Francisco Dominquez set out in 1776 - 1777.

It would be the first European exploration across the Great Basin desert. At that time the New World Empire of Spain stretched from Panama north through Mexico across American southwest to California. It was an immense country mostly deserts but little was known about it. The treacherous Colorado River was why no one wanted to venture out between Santa Fe, New Mexico and California.

The government of New Mexico and the church wanted to establish an overland route to the coast.

In 1775 Juan Bautista de Anza discovered one. The Spanish governor Mendenuetta asks Father Escalante to see about a northern route across the Great Basin Desert.
