				Site 3, The Kaiparowits Plateau The pioneers’ route from the town of Escalante ran parallel to the base of the Kaiparowits Plateau, which towers above the desert by as much as 2200’. The watershed of the Kaiparowits fed the numerous springs, which were essential for the pioneers’ survival. On one occasion, the advanced scouts climbed part way up the plateau to get a better vantage point from which to examine the terrain east of the Colorado River gorge with a monocular.

Wednesday, Nov. 26th, 1879. "Bros Schow, Collet Eddy and myself climbed a high point of the mountain close by and endeavored with the aid of field glasses to make out something of the country ahead of us but could not. Returned to camp and found that Joseph had undertaken to move some of our wagons and had them scattered all the way from one camp to the other."
