Col. Al Matheson gives overview of  the Trail in Iron County.

The group started at "Squaw's Cave" which has a tragic history of a Paiute woman and her child trying to evade capture into slavery.  The location for the trail is at 400 E. 820 S. near the water tank.

Next the tour headed to Enoch.  Photo looks west over Cedar Valley near Enoch.
