Itâs common after an accident for a person to describe his vehicle as having been âtotaled,â but he may not know exactly what that means. In order for a vehicle to be considered a total loss, the insurance company must inspect it and determine that the cost of repairs exceeds the value of the vehicle.
The Escalante near Escalante, Utah. The Escalante River is a tributary of the Colorado River. It is formed by the confluence of Upper Valley and Birch Creeks near the town of Escalante in south-central Utah, and from there flows southeast for approximately 90 miles (140 km) before joining Lake Powell.
Unlike many of its numerous tributaries, the 85 mile long canyon of the Escalante River stays relatively wide all the way from Escalante town to Lake Powell, and a hike from start to finish can be completed in around 6 days, via a combination of wading in the river and walking along trails across the extensive grassy banks at either side.
