as a direct descendant I am so proud to see this. A few years ago Jed Lyman and others took us by boat to the bottom. My father David Larson (almost93) made the trip along with three of my children. My daughter and a few actually hiked to the top and look down. We are forever grateful to the Lymans. We are eternally grateful to ancestors (Larson) who braved the journey.

I remember looking up at the gap in the rock from Lake Powell when I was a kid. It makes quite the impression in person. The bit about Lee's Ferry was interesting. Jim Emmett, one of my Great uncles operated the ferry for a period of time. These folks were as wild as the countryside to ba able to live out there at that time.

[@ranchlifelogic1991]

My family (the Decker family) also made that original journey. I’m so grateful for their courage and commitment.

Here because of The Trek Planner. Great stuff and thank you. This must rate well need the top of human ingenuity and endurance. Can believe I’ve never heard of this before. Amazing people.

Thanks, Jerry, for your historical storytelling and help introducing the Redd Center Hole-in-the Rock Conference!

[@deserthorizons]

This trail was used BOTH directions for over a year and a half from Bluff to Escalante and points further.. I did both sides of the Hole in the Rock Trail in a Jeep Liberty (vid on my channel),, and have done it in several other Jeeps,, and was in a boat on Lake Powell when I came across a marker in the middle of the lake pointing it out.. It is an amazing story of hardship overcome..

Thank you and all who took part in this outstanding piece of the LDS history and all thosewho came before us.

On San Juan Hill they carved "we thank thee o God" and Jens Nielson's ox died on that hill Jens nielsen was the bishop of bluff for 26 years until he died

[@janiceconnett3192]

Astounding! An incredulous journey! Thank you for sharing this epic journey across such desolate and impossible terrain. One for the history books of endurance and strength!

[@2coldnpagosa]

After reading a couple books on this expedition it was awesome to come across this documentary to bring life to their toils and tie it all together. Well done!

[@sharibunderson5527]

Undaunted is one of my favorite books!!! ❤❤

[@robertherrmann4823]

We stopped off in Bluff on our way from Moab to Monument Valley. The pioneer settlement is very well done and interesting. Some of the original structures are on display, and it makes for a surprisingly welcome rest stop.

[@reglabrum6928]

I’ve hiked the trail many many times I’m still amazed how they did it

[@arowberry]

WOW! What a story. I live in St George and had no idea. Thanks for putting this up.

[@Mackaygolf]

Honored to have been a part of this amazing production! Semper Fidelis from your BLM Compliance Monitor/Production Assistant!

[@juliemclemore]

Very well made. I’ve hiked through the hole in the rock and am completely amazed at what they accomplished with God’s help.

[@patriciacole8773]

Remember the fourth commandment KJV reminds us of Genesis 2:2&3.

[@kevennorcross1225]

What those true pioneers went through is absolutely amazing and shows their true grit spirit and courage to do the almost impossible. So much respect for such a accomplishment. Today you couldn't find anyone to do such a task. It's a shame. Thank you for sharing. What an eye opener for sure.

[@shawnajensenjohnson5482]

This builds my faith ever stronger in these last days.

[@MoneySavingVideos]

Last days?

[@jenniferleon-guerrero634]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@user-el3kg1bb2l]

Stickititutti That's pretty good.

Iconic photograph in 12:12

[@troymitchell1747]

Wasn’t there a man named Petter Shirts already in the area that helped the fist two families get by?

[@lamardavis4951]

This is very touching. I've read the book undaunted by brother Lund. Remarkable. Story God was diffently with those pioneers.

[@debbiew.7716]

Beautiful tribute! Thank you!

[@jmarty1000]

I often wonder about the decision making process for who must go on these missions. I suspect this particular mission may have been influenced by the events of the Mountain Meadows Massacre and subsequent conviction and execution of John D. Lee. Perhaps anyone who voiced discontent with either event may have essentially been exiled.

[@stevecoscia]

Inspiring story and courageous journey. Thank you.

[@user-el3kg1bb2l]

Arbella: Was she okay? Did she recover from her injuries?. i laughed at first, but then I didn't realize the extent of her injuries. We're Sanford and Arbella okay? Were the children okay?

[@espanolfavorito]

As a Lyman, I am a direct descendant of these pioneers and have long loved hearing this story. I greatly enjoyed Lund's book Undaunted a few years ago and appreciate this video that brings everything to life with views of the actual area. Thank you to all who made this video possible and help keep the pioneer spirit alive!

[@wasatch0]

Did the church ever get the county & State to pave the road so they could build a visitor's center?

[@Mackaygolf]

No, it's hard to put the remote nature of the location in context, which in turn, makes the paved road concept cost prohibitive. There's a visitor's center at Escalante, which is where you turn onto the gravel road (Hole in the Rock Road) that takes you 45 miles or so WAY out into the literal middle of nowhere.

[@MrRennn802009]

Hmm the blind healing the whole ?

[@beentheredonethat580]

that Ute man was laughing his head off, because a little bit further on there was a much better way to cross! they had been watched without realizing it for the longest time 🤣🤣🤣so I have been told when working on the nearby Ute reservation in White Mesa by some of the locals from the tribe.

[@jameschryst7776]

And to this day they are blasting an anvil in the air ever since at the Snow Flake rodeo ever since. Pray for rain! Jim BCC AZ

[@davidmurphy619]

Makes me feel so warm and fuzzy... What a fairy tale

[@fredact]

True American spirit and ingenuity!

[@michaelwiberg]

.my ars it was dumb luck, ive done scaffolding up verticle walls before, a triangle support with a beam to extend out with another verticle to hold it up ,carries wieght for supporting shelf . These stories make me wonder how they did what couldnt be done. Well it wasnt as difficult as all that but nobody said it couldnt be done youre crazy. If they had they wouldnt of but to me this struggle is awesome its time we appreciate those that accomplish the difficult things in life everyday. Pride is upon those that do and theyve earned bragging rights and huge praise. Everyday people do this just few realize this spirt inside them . Yep theyve earned that right theyre winners alright.

[@mikerowley595]

Job well done!

[@HullTreeCare8]

That's the first I've ever heard of that young Walton boy in the Cowardly men that lowered him over the cliff he was definitely braver than any one of those cowards I know my son would not have went over the cliff until I had died doing so

[@brittajacobson2523]

Run that by an environmental statement will you.

[@b.b.grenade1407]

Mormons do hard things.

[@MoneySavingVideos]

Were they brave or were they just stupidly following the foolish directives of the head of a religious cult who could have waited to see if it was feasible? And animal abuse subjecting them to this trip, Apologies in advance to any descendents.

[@jfairway1]

A gullible group of extremely poor thinkers and planners lucks out, proving dumb yet tough is sometimes good enough.
