Flaming Gorge - Jack Hillers about halfway up the mountain.

Jack Hillers about halfway up the mountain with two saddle horses, Red Canyon Park. Daggett County, Utah. 1871. Supplies for the voyage (food rations and equipment) were cached along the route, and homesteads existed in some of the "parks" along the Green River. These horses may have belonged to one of the homesteaders in the canyon or may have been part of a pre-arranged supply party for the Second Expedition.
