In mid-October , nearly a hundred years after Major Powell's expedition viewed the plateau, William R. Gould, vice president of Southern California Edison, a Los Angeles-based utility company, stood below the towering cliffs of the Kaiparowits Plateau and announced to a gathering of representatives of local and state governmental agencies plans to construct a mammoth coal-fired power plant at Kaiparowits.
The region had ample coal deposits to keep such a plant operating for several decades. So a consortium of energy producers in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Phoenix hoped to pool their resources to build a generating station which would guarantee an adequate supply of electrical power to the ever-growing urban Southwest. Many of the Utahns who heard Gould outline these development goals were ecstatic.
Hiking trails abound, as do scenic roads, great campsites and much more. Plan your trip now! Many trails are accessed by dirt roads that range from good graded roads to unmaintained, rocky, or sandy doubletracks. These backroads not only offer access to trailheads, they also offer tremendous scenic driving potential. Michael Collier. Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email.
