Harris Wash

Harris Wash is a long tributary of the Escalante River located in Garfield County in southern Utah, in the western United States.

[3] Exiting the plateau near its northern end, Alvey Wash comes within a quarter mile of the town before turning to the south.

Harris Wash is a popular recreational destination, due both to its scenic canyon walls and its proximity to the town of Escalante.

[4] Just below this point, the canyon walls rise and the stream flow becomes permanent, allowing hikers to wade all the way down to the junction with the main river.

In the fall of 1879 the San Juan Expedition had developed the Hole-in-the-Rock route on their way to founding a colony in southeastern Utah.
