Devil's Slide




Each year on the 24th of July, we head to Kamas for Fiesta Days. It is a great celebration of our pioneer heritage, and the town goes all out.
Each time we drive to Utah, we drive through Weber Canyon and pass the Devil's Slide. It is such an awesome sight, and since we were fewer in numbers due to taking two cars down, I decided to stop with the kids for a photo and a better look.
Devil's Slide is an unusual geological formation located in northern Utah's Weber Canyon, near the community of Croydon in Morgan County, Utah, USA. The slide consists of two parallel limestone strata that have been tilted to lie vertical, protruding 40 feet (12 m) out of the mountainside. Intervening layers have eroded more quickly, forming a channel some 25 feet (7.6 m) wide running hundreds of feet down the mountain.
