I am transcribing an interview with a woman that was done in 1970, when she was 78-years-old. She lived in Bunkerville and Mesquite as a child, and moved to Littlefield after her marriage. She talks about taking a buggy over the mountain through Elbow Canyon when she was several months pregnant in late 1916 or early 1917 (the child she was carrying was born 3 Feb 1917.) She talks about how rough that road was "before they improved it." I thought you would like to know you were driving on an "improved" road. :-) Happy hiking, and thanks for reporting on your trip. I grew up in Vegas, now live in St. George, and I'd never heard of that canyon. I think we'll have to make a day of it when the weather warms.
