				Site 4, Dance Hall Rock and Forty Mile Spring Dance Hall Rock is a natural amphitheater in an outcropping of sandstone. The pioneers used the amphitheater for dances and skits. Nearby, Forty Mile Spring became a rendezvous point for the pioneers. Prior to reaching Forty Mile Spring, the pioneers traveled in small groups from their various hometowns. It was from Forty Mile Spring that they sent out exploring expeditions, and it was here that they made the decision to continue on in spite of the rugged terrain.
