The Mormon Trail Wagon Train remains encamped tonight in Henefer. While most of the weary modern pioneers enjoyed a rest day, a few traveled up the road to take a look at what many believe will be the most challenging segment of their journey to Utah. Religion Specialist Duane Cardall joins us from Henefer. Duane, what part of the trail are they concerned about?

That steep climb up, over and down Big Mountain in East Canyon. That's the section they'll travel on Monday, just before entering the valley on Tuesday.

Some concerns have been expressed by pioneer sesquicentennial officials about how safe it will be, especially the steep grade coming off Big Mountain. So, this morning the wagonmasters took a wagon to the summit, hitched up a team and showed everyone how it will be done. Each wagon is equipped with a brake and a metal implement used to keep the wheel from turning. It's called a skid shoe. And it did the job. The horses actually had to pull just a bit to keep the wagon rolling down hill.

((BOB LOWE, UTAH WAGONMASTER: "I HAD NO QUESTION IN MY MIND BUT WHAT IT COULD BE DONE, BUT BECAUSE AND OUT OF COURTESY TO THE PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO SEE IT, WE'RE HERE."

ELDER M. RUSSELL BALLARD, PIONEER SESQUICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE: "THEY'VE NEVER BEEN ON THESE KINDS OF GRADES ON ASPHAULT AND SO EVERYBODY'S MORE AT PEACE NOW THAT IT WILL WORK."))

Bob Lowe says his biggest concern isn't the downhill...but the uphill...a long, steep five mile climb for the horses. He plans to make sure they get plenty of rest.

Tomorrow morning, the wagon train will leave Henefer. It will work its way up Big Mountain to East Canyon and be there for three days the 18th, 19th and 20th. The train will not camp in East Canyon State Park, but to the northeast of it on private property. The public is welcome to visit the wagon train camp and in fact is encouraged to do so.
