Crossing of the Fathers : ウィキペディア英語版 | Crossing of the Fathers Crossing of the Fathers is a historical river crossing of the Colorado River, in Utah, between Kane and San Juan Counties. It lay on the Colorado River at an elevation of approximately 3,180 feet. The crossing was a series of sand bars across the river at a great bend in the river marked by Padres Butte. The crossing was located a mile west of the butte which is now at the tip of Padre Point on the south shore of Lake Powell. The crossing is now under nearly four hundred feet of water in Padre Bay in Lake Powell, named for the padres who crossed the Colorado River there. ==History== The Crossing of the Fathers was named after the two Spanish padres, who led the Dominguez-Escalante Expedition of 1776 who first used and reported it. The Colorado River crossing used by the Armijo Route of the Old Spanish Trail established in 1828.〔 The crossing has been submerged under Padre Bay in Lake Powell following the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam.〔
