Show PAGE 31 THE ZEPHYROCTOBER 1995 THEN & NOW UTAH HIGHWAY 24: 1959 & 1995 In 1959, Charles Kreischer took the above photograph along the road to Capitol Reef National Monument, a few miles west of Caineville. The road then was barely two lanes wide and a quagmire whenever it rained. The bottom photograph shows that things have changed a lot in 36 years. The old road is gone without a trace. The obstruction on the right is the new road itself. Tons of fill material were brought in to reduce the gradient when the highway was paved in the early 60s. If |
