Mormon Honeymoon Trail - Arizona - Utah

House Rock Valley Road

This is the road taken to go from Highway 89 to Highway 89A.  You take this detour rather than traveling over the Buckskin Mountains.  You need a 4WD to do that.  This road will take you to Wirepass Trailhead for Buckskin Gulch one of the longest and deepest slot canyons in the world.  Also you use Wirepass Trailhead to enter the trail for The Wave.   Toward the end of this road you are near  House Rock Spring and the place to view the condors.  It is about a 30 miles drive.

Honeymoon Trail

My blog follows The "Honeymoon" Trail from the Kanab area going to Arizona. Presently I'm not posting on the blog, but included this video as it follows the other side of the trail from Hurricane to near Colorado City. I am working on a "Honeymoon Trail" Guide at the present time. You can follow close to the "trail" in a regular car going from Arizona to Utah, and not have to drive many miles on dirt roads. You can avoid dirt roads totally if you wish. If you had an ancestor travel to Arizona from 1873-1890, let me know and I'll check my database to see if they are there. i may even have a photograph of the inscription they left. Just send me a name. Don't let another trip go by to or from Arizona without discovering the "Honeymoon Trail." It is hidden in plain sight. Just click on the picture if you want to see the video.
