Professor Cummings of the University of Utah, were but ten 
miles away, we decided to make a trip to the White Canyon. 
Professor Garrett and myself rode over in the afternoon to 
Mr. Scorup’s summer camp four miles away. We had been 
referred to Mr. Scorup by Mr. Cooper in Moab. Mr. Scorup 
not only gave us all the information which we needed, but in 
the morning rode over to the Bear’s Ears and showed us from 
the pass between them, the way we should take. The direct

trail is very precipitous and dangerous, but Mr. Scorup showed 
us a way, about twice as long, but easy to travel. After two 
steep hills and the crossing of a shallow canyon, the road was 
almost level through pinyon woods and sage-plains until we 
came to Armstrong Canyon, near the Edwin Bridge, a picture 
of which is shown (fig. 39). A steep trail led down into the 
canyon and we struck camp near the foot of the bridge. The 
photograph was taken from our camp. The bridge is 108 
feet high, the span is 194 feet long, 15 feet thick, and 20 feet 
wide at the narrowest point.
