We made a trip down to Bluff Fort. They are continually making improvements to that place. The kids enjoyed seeing the talking pictures on the wall, "riding" in wagons, pumping water and panning for "gold". The youngest loved riding the wooden horses and the older ones enjoyed running around finding all the things on the scavenger hunt.
The short movie there tells about the story of The Hole in the Rock expedition. Which lead the pioneers down the steep Hole in the Rock and up the grueling San Juan Hill.
When we lived on the Navajo reservation, we took our two oldest to San Juan Hill. They were too young to remember that now or understand it's significance. Maybe someday, we'll make it back. It's an amazing story of perseverance.
(Apologizes for the lack of pictures. We were more focused on seeing the fort, than taking pictures this time. You'll just have to go check it out for yourself.😉)
