Memorial - The Hole-in-the-Rock Pioneers

The Hole-in-the-Rock Pioneers

This memorial is in honor of the men, women and children of the San Juan Mission who came to the area in 1880 in answer to a call from their church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). These Mormon pioneers overcame challenges of unparalleled difficulty as they blazed a road through some of the most broken and rugged terrain in North America, including a path through the Colorado River gorge via a crevice they named The-Hole-in-the-Rock. The challenges of reaching the area were only surpassed by the formidable task of setting the Sam Juan frontier.

"No pioneer company ever built a wagon road through wilder, rougher, more courage, faith, and devotion to cause . . . "
Dr. David E. Miller, Historian
