Kathy Myrick, former executive director of the San Juan Symphony, spent her non-concert weekends for 15 years photographing the 1,700-mile trail blazed by the first white men to explore the Four Corners area. While Escalante’s daily journal focused on food and water sources, Kathy (accompanied by her Aussie Scarlett) aimed to capture the majestic mountains, monuments, waterways, and wildflowers that the intrepid explorers would have encountered 250 years ago.

This program is part of History Live!, a series of events celebrating the humanities in September in Southwest Colorado.
