Rocks, Canyons, Mt. Ranges, Water, and Stations, Oh, My!
At first I couldn't figure out why anyone would write a book like this, but as I went back to write my journal entries, I got the bigger picture. It wasn't so much about places as it was about the people who traveled there. I could imagine the pioneers at each spot. I loved that they carved their names in the rocks. It makes them so much more real somehow. I liked hearing about all the places close to our little town of Morgan like Echo Canyon, East Canyon Creek, and East Canyon Reservoir. Our family has many memories associated with these spots. We got caught in a flash flood at East Canyon during a fish fry. My son caught an 18" trout in the East Canyon Creek when he was a small boy. I'm tempted to go to Echo Canyon and see if I can really hear an echo. I'm not quite sure where to go off the interstate so I don't get seriously killed, however. I was also glad to learn there is an upper and a lower Weber Canyon. Who knew? I was confused at first when they talked about it. I'm grateful for the pioneers and their perseverence. What a great heritage they've left us!
