Pioneer Register, Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
View Original Description
Pioneer Register is located along Capitol Gorge Road in Capitol Reef National Park. Mormon pioneers took eight days in 1884 to clear the first road through the Gorge, and settlers had to remove heavy debris after every flash flood. Early travelers recorded their passage on the canyon walls at the Pioneer Register.
The road was closed in 1962 when Utah Highway 24 was paved through the Fremont River corridor.
