Salt Lake to Southern California Road – Fort Utah

“came in sight of the grove in which is the Fort when the ‘old Pioneer Gun’ belched forth our introduction to the Fort – the brethren were collecting in their Cattle for the night when we arrived – on crossing the Island we saw some as beautiful as any in the Valley – we then crossed the ‘Provo’ a beautiful river about 5 rods wide & from 16 to 24 inches deep – on reaching the bank we were met by all the Inhabitants.”

-Thomas Bullock notes, September 15, 1849

Salt Lake to Southern California Road – Cove Fort

“16th Passed over some beautiful rich bottoms covered with green grass which is uncommon at this season of the year on this route.  Passed over a high divide into a beautiful round valley [Cove Fort].  I shot the largest hare in this valley I have ever seen.  23 miles today.”  – Addison Pratt, Oct. 16, 1849.

Here is the list of “Salt Lake to Southern California Road” markers I have come across.
