Geocache Description:

A micro cache in beautiful Duchesne!

This cache is near a historical marker commemorating Father Escalante. It reads.


FATHER ESCALANTE In commemoration of the Catholic priest, Father Escalante, who, in 1776 came into Utah. He crossed the Green River at Jensen, and camped two days at that place. His diary shows that he camped at the junction of Strawberry and Duchesne Rivers one night and then traveled on northwest up through what he called "The Canyon of the Swallows." This is the canyon in which Ivie's Ranch is now located. This became an important intersection in Pioneer days as distances were reckoned from this point.
