I find it interesting to learn that the Burr Trail was originally developed as a cattle trail by stockman John Atlantic Burr (born in 1846 aboard the SS Brooklyn sailing across the Atlantic; his family established Burrville, Utah, in 1876). Burr developed the trail so he could take his herd through the rough, nearly impassable country around the Waterpocket Fold, Burr Canyon and Muley Twist Canyon. We next come to the famous Burr Trail Switchbacks. Boating in Glen Canyon, Wild Camping in Arch CanyonOur destination the next morning is Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
