This collection contains photographs taken by a group in the 1940s of the Hole-in-the-Rock area of southern Utah where Mormon settlers lowered their wagons over a precipice of rock in a narrow crack in the canyon rim during 1879-1880. The Mormon settlers were part of the San Juan mission to homestead in Bluff, Utah. The route was used for several years.
