Dedication for the new Escalante/Hole-in-the-Rock Heritage Center was May 28, 2011, Memorial Day weekend. The new center offers information on the Hole-In-The-Rock/San Jan Expedition as well as murals by local artist Lynn Griffin depicting the journey down through the hole. Visit the center's small cabin and watch "The Journey of the San Juan Pioneers", an overview of the Hole-in-the-Rock trek 1879-1880. There is also a clean restroom, picnic areas and a large parking lot for cars and buses. The sight is wheel chair accessible.
