Out on your private deck, next to the Adirondack chairs – and the stunning views – is a propane barbecue for your grilling pleasure
And yes, there is a drive-in! When the sun sets, the tops come down on the vintage 1960s convertibles parked in the drive-in and the big screen lights up with vintage cartoons, cliff-hangers like Flash Gordon, and the feature attraction – a classic film from 1946 through 1969. The Snack Shack – a converted 1977 Airstream Sovereign, serves classic movie fare throughout the evening’s entertainment.

History
Escalante was named for Franciscan missionary Silvestre Velez de Escalante, whopassed through the region in 1776 during an expedition from Santa Fe, NM to Monterey, CA. The remote community was settled in 1876 by Mormon pioneers from nearby Panguitch. They designed the town on a grid system, dividing the land into equitable five-acre blocks. Each family in this farming and ranching community was also provided with 20 acres of farmland outside of town. Today, this charming town of 800, called 'Escalant' by locals, is home to a diverse population of ranchers, farmers, artists and outdoor enthusiasts.
