Dance Hall Rock outside of Escalante Utah is a place where the early Mormon settlers actually had music and dance. The tall cliffs with a large flat dance floor offered great acoustics. Wondering around the massive rolling sandstone hills that surround this area, I found the lone cottonwood tree thriving in a swirling sandstone hole. The hole provides protection from the wind and aids in gathering water in the arid climate. Hope it survives for many years.....
