This ride goes through Sheep Creek in the Paria River drainage area to the narrows of Willis Creek, where ancient Indian petroglyphs can be seen along the canyon walls. Sections of the Willis Creek narrows are barely wide enough for a horse to pass through! From Willis Creek, we’ll travel through Averett Canyon named for Elijah Averett, a young Mormon soldier who was killed by Indians in 1866. We’ll pass his grave and monument.
