In company with the above Forest officials the delegation from this city went over the proposed grounds which includes the land now used by the Forest Ranger behind Mt. Nebo, and also the ground on the West side of the canyon which will be sufficient land to make a very desirable park and recreation grounds. Supervisor Blakesley, and Ranger Christensen expresed their desire to work in with the people here and asist them in every way possible to make a success of the movement, and informed the delegation that they would recommend to the department that the area selected be alloted at once for a public recre-aio- n and camping grounds. The Forest officials gave instructions as to how to proceed in the matter and suggested that the work of clearing the rubbish away and con structing suitable roads be commen ced as soon as possible. It was also of the sugested that the people of Levan, Mona, Fountain Green and Moroni be secured in helping to make the park as inviting as possible, as the park would benefit these towns as much as Nephi. A general holiday is contemplated in the near future when the people in general from the towns mentioned, will be asked to donate a day's work in helping to put the grounds in the Favorable best possible condition. comment was heard from the delegation on the attitude of the local forest officials who show such a wil lingness to help in the matter, and who desire that the forest reserve shall be put to its full use as a recre ation place for the people of this section.

Nebo, one of the highest mountains in the State has finally become accessible principally through the untiring efforts of Forest Ranger A. P. Christensen, who was successful in getting an appropriation from the government for $300, for the purpose of building a trail from the mouth of Andrews Canyon to the summit of Mt. Nebo. The trail was completed on July 23rd, 1919 at a cost of $ 299.80. The trip which this article deals with was made on Pioneer Day, July 24th, under the leadership of Ranger A. P. Christensen, by the following enthusA. P. iastic mountain climbers. Christensen, T. H. Burton, Robert Winn, J. N. C. Pexton, J. E. Lunt, Paul Booth, Marcus Burton, Florence Burton, Aden Lunt, Homer Lunt, Boyd Lunt, Stellman Cowan, Roscoe Grover, Max Riches, Joe Cowan Jr., Helen Cowan, Marie Cowan, Florence Rulon Cowan, Cowan, Douglas Cowan, (and Rover Cowan, the dog mascot.) Three horses were taken along on the trip to the top of Mt. Nebo, and they were used principally to carry water and food, and to assist the five old men of the party in making some of the steep inclines. Taking the trail at the mouth of Andrews Canyon at 9.20 a. m. the half way post was reached at 12.20 p. m. and the litle band of pioneers settled down in a beautiful grove of tall pines alongside of an ice cold crystal stream to eat the lunch brought along, and recuperate for the final dash "over the top." In just an hour after lunch the party again slowly but surely moved forward along the rig tag trail and at 3.20 o'clock p. m. every person in the party including the dog were seated at the foot of the monument on the top of Mt. Nebo, looking with amazement upon one of the grandest and most beautiful sights that mortal man could gaze upon. Holden on the south to Lehl on the The north were plainly visable.
