- AJLIllinoisRockford, IL446 contributionsThis was really interesting. As others have said it s part of a larger park, so you have to make an effort to visit. But the replica Pony Express station and the sculpture teall the story of the Pony Express beautifully.Written September 29, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheLeongOhanaUnited States7,575 contributionsLocated right along South Temple Street between the Joseph Smith Building and the wall surrounding the Temple Square, the Great Salt Lake Base Meridian marker and the Brigham Young Statue were easy to find. The marker outlined the historical facts on the determination, setting and use of the base meridian. Good information for map enthusiasts. The statue depicted Brigham Young standing on top of a base with both Indian and white pioneers. They are the first intro to the garden area in between the LDS buildings.Written January 19, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Elle T2 contributionsThe setting is beautiful on the hilltop and there are views of the mountains and downtown. The stone is pretty rose pink and the story of this military unit during the Mexican war is particularly interesting and the ties to the gold rush in California. The tour guide told us the story. We didn't see any information to read when you get there beside one little plaque which is very unfortunate to anyone who doesn't have a tour guide so you'll have to look it up on the internet yourself.Written July 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HoleySneakersSalt Lake City, UT221 contributionsEveryone knows about Brigham Young's famous arrival into the Salt Lake Valley on July 24, 1847. But far fewer people know about the first party of 109 settlers that arrived two days earlier, on July 22. This tiny, .75 acre city park is a quaintly pretty monument to those settlers, and marks the actual spot (as near as anyone can tell) where they set up this first camp. The landscaping of bounders, cobblestone paths, and native plants is meant to emulate the geography of the Salt Lake Valley. The stones are engraved with the names of the settlers, and there is a monument that tells the story of their arrival. If you're a history buff, this is a unique and relatively unknown spot, and also a nice place to just sit and enjoy a sunny day.Written March 17, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
