Synopsis
From a reviewer: One of the few published historical accounts written of the Mormon pioneers called by their President and Prophet to colonize the four corners area of Utah. The book chronicles their amazing trek down a narrow notch located at the rim of the Colorado River Gorge. Through the narrow slot they could see the Colorado River 3/4 mile away and 1,500 feet below. Over the period of 6 weeks in the dead of Winter the men of the expedition used hand tools and a small amount of ing powder to claw out a hole in the canyon leading to want is now a portion of Lake Powell. The remnants of the pioneers efforts are still visible in the sandstone today for visitors to the area. Visitors can make the 15 mile drive from Esccalate across a dirt road to the top of the Hole in the Rock site and walk/climb down the notch to Lake Powell. This book is a must read for anyone traveling to the Hole in the Rock site.
