Crossroads Historical Trails Tour
On Saturday, August 22, we will sponsor a tour of the pioneer trails from the Weber River Crossing near Henefer, Utah, to the First Encampment site in the Salt Lake Valley. This trail will highlight the 1846 Donner Party, the early Utah Pioneers, and the three Pony Express stations along the way. This last 50 miles of the pioneer trail into the Salt Lake Valley covers some of the roughest terrain of the entire westward trek to Salt Lake. Our tour guide will be Connie Bauer. There will be other historians who will give reports along the way too. Please bring your camera, lunch, and plenty of water. (We will eat lunch at about noon.) Please carpool if you can.
