It may be no one knows Escalante Canyon better than Bernice Musser.

Musser’s family moved to the canyon in 1930 when she was in third grade and, except for a few years attending high school, she’s been living there since.

She will share that history Thursday as part of the Colorado Canyons Association and the Western Colorado Interpretive Association lecture series.

It’s free, but the story is priceless.

WHAT: A slide-show history of Escalante Canyon, plus an optional bus tour on Saturday.

WHERE: Bill Heddles Recreation Center, Delta.

WHEN: 7 p.m. Thursday. The guided bus tour of Escalante Canyon is 8:30 a.m.-noon Saturday.

HOW: To reserve a seat on the bus tour, call Colorado Canyons Association at 970-263-7902 or e-mail .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
