He says the rock will be maneuvered “using a device that utilizes pneu- ‘matics and hydraulics.If all goes “as planned, the rock will roll down a small slope with a 12 percent grade before dropping over the edgeof a 400-footcliff. Hansen expects the boulder will sink 10 to 12 feet into the road surface, About eight years ago, a com panion boulder, called “Bertha’s Big Brother,” rolled onto the same ‘section of road after beinglet loose ‘by naturalforces. It sank 12 feet into the ground. UDOTcrews just 10: an 0 lt at cut the rock off at road level and resurfaced over the underground part. “UDOT still jokes about not knowingif there is a Volkswagen underneathit.” says Hansen. It has taken Hansen's firm about six months to evaluate the site and devise a planfor how best to movethe boulder hedescribes as being 30 feet high, 20 feet wide and18 feet deep. He says the rock is resting on a base of crumbled stone and is so unstable that crews will not touch it until Tuesday. Pushing the rock is preferable to explosives because it has a lower impact on the surrounding environment. MoodyBlues. wandering the park headquarters parking lot.

It’s easy to see what hasattracted both groupsto the canyon. Yellow Fork’s unpaved road climbs gently for three miles to the top, with three picnic areas (no reservations required) along the way and numerous equestrian/bike trails shooting off either side. The scenery — including scrub oak, junipers and cottonwood trees near the bottom and aspenandfir trees higher up is stunning. “There are incredible viewsat the top. You can see the whole Salt Lake Valley and the [Oquirrh Mountains] ridgeline,” says Riv. erton resident Juliette Lucy, who bikes the canyon regularly. “I walked to the topof the ridge this spring, and there were wildflow- ers all overtheplace. It was just spectacular.” The problem? Geography. Yel low Fork is not especially wide to begin with, and narrows considerablyon the trip up.

The other option: justcall off the wholething. “From riding around upthere, I'm notreally sure how muchofit is actuaily usable,” says Overson, who grew up in nearby West Jor- dan and oversees the county’s Parks and Recreation Depart- ment. “And there are some other nice [privately owned] areas available up there, including a 600-acre parcel and an 1,800-acre parcel.

That would allow the county to upgradethetrails and picnic areas. A Yellow Fork manager, he suggested, could be housed in a county-owned home — originally built as an animal-refuge center — at the mouth ofthe canyon.
