It is true, the campgrounds are aplenty in the National Parks system but Point Supreme is one of a small number of national park campgrounds that has a hot shower. However, this is not the only feature that draws campers to this campground.
Along with the other amenities listed below, the park is on the top precipice of the cedar breaks, with amazing view points unrivaled in country, except for maybe at the
Grand Canyon NP,
Rocky Mountains NP and
Yellowstone NP, none of which have showers.
The
Uto-Aztecan people crossed during the second migration, who, by about 1000 BCE, were the first to settle in the area now known as the Colorado Plateau and while there they were to expanded into much of this area in Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. Much later, though, many of the stone stacker dwellings were abandoned, most likely due to a prolonged and widespread drought that struck the region starting in about the early 1270s. From their Colorado plateau dwellings, they moved southward in search of water.
Some of those from the stone stacker dwellings left there homes and then migrated to the west to western Utah and southeast Nevada and they were later known as the
Paiute, while others of this same family, migrated to the east into southeast Utah and Colorado were come to be known as the
Ute.
Some time later, when the third migration occurred, some of the Athabascan people moved through the area and came to settle into areas south of the stone stackers. These ones were to later be known as the US Southern
Athabascan which include the: Navajo, Jicarilla, Kiowa Apache and Mexcalero- Chiricahua cultures.
