				Site 18, The Cedars Detouring to the higher elevations to the north brought the pioneers to a thick juniper forest, commonly referred to as the Cedars. Here chopping crews advanced ahead of the wagons to chop a 20-mile path. The uneven terrain also required the construction of dugways (rock fill) to bridge paths down/up ridges and washes.

Thursday, March 18th, 1880. "Drove 3 miles yesterday, and 6 today and made camp in a sagebrush opening in the cedars which are now very thick all around us. There is a force of men ahead chopping all the time. There is a good deal of snow and mud making the wheeling very heavy. We left one of [the] wagons and a load in it this morning as our teams are getting very weak."
