Mt. Meadow Massacre

One of the first stops on our trip was to the Mt. Meadow Massacre sight. Alan and I have wanted to go there on previous trips, but just didn't have the time. It was amazing to see how desolate the location was where the actual massacre happened. We first went the burial sight where 26 bodies were buried. We were the only one's there for a while and it was amazing how quiet and reverent it was. Later we went up the road to where the memorial was built. Again, it was so quiet and peaceful. After we tried to find the marker for where the actual massacre occurred, but couldn't find it. In traveling back to the townhouse we drove through Snow Canyon which is gorgeous! Although we took pictures, it's just not quite the same. One of the last pics are of rock climbers, and no, they aren't us. Alan wishes, but we just didn't bring our gear. Maybe next time!
