Spanish Trail Car Tour and Chuck Wagon Dinner

Thanks to Col. Al Matheson for leading the Car Tour and arranging for the Chuck Wagon Dinner and wagon rides in conjunction with our Oct. performance of the "Spanish Trail Suite" by Marshall McDonald and Steven Sharp Nelson.

Thanks to Spencer and Kay Bowman for the wagon rides and wonderful Chuck Wagon Dinner and to all involved. To contact Bowman and Company for wagon rides and meals, (435) 590-1300.


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.
