Part of an area reached through BLM lands or through the trekking area for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Right next to a beautiful picnic area on the Sweetwater River. Water at river was still high from flooding. No tickets required

If you see this monument you have undertaken a trek with many lessons for life. Remember what these people went through and why.

It is a bit of a walk to get to the monument but the story of John Linford' s life and the other 8 people who were hurried here in a common grave makes you glad you came. You will need to make arrangements for a guide and might possibly be able to ride out in a rover if they aren't too busy. Call the "6th Crossing Visitor's Center at Sweetwater Crossing, WY" to check on their availability.
