The canyon was formed over 600 million years as Escalante Creek carved the 1,300 foot gorge. The Escalante Canyon has a long history of human occupation. The Ute Indians for years had made the North Fork of the Escalante River their winter home. Early settlers, attracted by the year-long water supply and sheltering cliffs, son pushed the Indians off the land. Many cattle outfits began using the canyon as their winter quarters. In 1886, John Musser took up residence in one of the first homesteads in the canyon where he operated the Musser Cattle Company. Over the years the company has acquired ranch after ranch so that now most of the grazing paddocks along the canyon's entire length are consolidated under Musser Cattle. The infamous Colorado Sheep War centered around cattlemen protecting their grazing land from flocks of hungry sheep. In the early 1900s, an unwritten code existed which relegated sheep to one side of the Gunnison River. When a swinging bridge was built over the river and sheep travelled across, the cattlemen retaliated by shooting hundreds of sheep. Two residents of the canyon died in the shootout. #historicalplace #rockclimbing #outdoorfun #outdoorlife #adventurelife #exploremore #hikinglife #wildlife](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/181493/37dc6ecd-4842-4d81-92af-7dd101ad33df.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Devil's Kitchen A .8 short hike Part of the colorado National monument , National Parks ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/181493/e3e7e21f-323e-44dc-9bc4-a6237ee571e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Fruita Things to do ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.
