Death Hollow, Escalante National Monument, Utah. 29.5" x 29.5" framed. Artist's Comments: This painting carries something of a sentimental value for me because it recalls one of the best backpacking trips of my life, into the remote tributary of the Escalante River known as Death Hollow. Of all the Escalante's tributaries, this is one of the most difficult to reach and to hike. And, like so many hard to reach places, the rewards of the effort are worth the trouble. The northern tributaries of the Escalante drain the Circle Cliffs and Boulder Mountain, whose highest elevation is 11,000 feet. This gives the water that cuts these canyons tremendous power, amply evidenced by the depth and convoluted nature of these drainages. I found this view fascinating because I timed my hike for a period of lower water, and found revealed, just beneath the sparkling surface, the contours of the sandstone river bottom, still being sculpted each year by the spring floods.
