My pictures are in the wrong order, but this is from Ensign peak in S.L.C. The youth took a trek of the last 50 miles that the pioneers traveled before they made it to the Salt Lake valley. We didn't actually "trek" as much as we drove, but we got to see many of the spots that they experienced. It was really cool and humbling to see the obstacles that the pioneers faced. The highways that push through some of the canyons are only there after mountains were removed. So there weren't many ways to make it past the mountains to reach the valley. I can't imagine having to do it period...much less with little children that are cold, hungry, tired and sick.
This picture shows the markings left behind from all of the hundreds and hundreds of wagon wheels that scraped a long this rock leaving specks of metal that later rusted. There are also grooves in the rock.
This is part of the trail area. Isn't it so pretty?!
Being spiritually uplifted and having a great time!
