Provo Canyon, Utah

Until Fall of 1858, the only established travel route through Provo Canyon was an old Indian trail on the north side of the canyon. In 1852, explorer William Gardner was the first person to propose that a road be built in Provo Canyon. Nothing came of this proposal until 1855 when the Utah Legislature granted William Wall, Evan M. Green, Thomas S. Williams, and Aaron Johnson the right to, “...build a toll road from the mouth of Provo Canyon through the canyon, [and] through Kamas Prairie.” Construction on the road began, and significant progress was made, but work on the road stopped in 1857 due to the ongoing Utah War. A year later, residents in nearby Provo were eager to see the road completed, so they met with Brigham Young on June 6, 1858 and formed the Provo Canyon Road Company. With this newfound drive to complete the road, it was finished in the Fall of 1858.
