Pg 59 of Adams biography: “David Bybee, was a great builder, and a money-making man. He was only 29 years old when he got the contract with the county to build a bridge across the Weber River at the mouth of Weber Canyon. Cement was not to be had. He made the abuttments by laying up rocks, then he built a road up the north side of the canyon, following an old Indian trail. It was only wide enough for one wagon. This first bridge washed out one spring when the water was unusually high.”

Pg 8 of Mountain Green: “In the history of her life, Barbara Tope Penrod states that the first road was built on the north side of the river. It followed an old Indian trail and was barely wide enough for a single team and wagon.
