I've been through Weber Canyon, and you're right. It is probably worse than the Barlow Road in Oregon.
"The Barlow Road (at inception, Mount Hood Road) is a historic road in what is now the U.S. state of Oregon. It was built in 1846 by Sam Barlow and Philip Foster, with authorization of the Provisional Legislature of Oregon, and served as the last overland segment of the Oregon Trail. Its construction allowed covered wagons to cross the Cascade Range and reach the Willamette Valley, which had previously been nearly impossible. Even so, it was by far the most harrowing 100 miles (160 km) of the nearly 2,000-mile (3,200 km) Oregon Trail.[1]"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow_Road



How was that story about Bridger documented or validated?

very interesting about Bridger. In the green river valley you can't turn your head without seeing reference to Bridger.
