Rules

May the tale of the great migration of the Mormon people be here remembered and spoken of with love.  May all who come here be filled with a spirit of reverence as they recall the experiences of their forebears.  May the sprit of solemnity rest upon them”   -

President Hinkley May 3. 1997

Trekking at Martins Cove and on the Historic Trail is a privilege.  All youth will be required to be respectful of others and follow the rules set forth by Martins Cove/ Willie Center:

1.      Be respectful of all missionaries, leaders, ma’s and pa’s and other youth.
