Ash Hollow
Here was fresh, clean water--a luxury the emigrants had not tasted for weeks. And the trees at Ash Hollow were the first the pioneers had seen for 100 miles. Most of the wagon trains would rest at Ash Hollow for a day or two.
Emigrant E. B. Farnham: "This is the best looking place we have seen for some time. It is a cool shady looking place fragrant with different kinds of flowers of which rose and jasmine are the principle. Grape vines and currant bushes are plenteous."
Captain Howard Stansbury:"Several springs of delightfully cold and refreshing water were found, altogether the best that has been met with since leaving Missouri."
