LITTLE PARK ROAD

[Mile-marker 37]

At 1½ miles east of the Glade Park Store and Post Office is the

intersection with the improved gravelled Little Park Road, which will be

described later. At 2¾ miles beyond this intersection, the DS Road

leaves the Entrada Sandstone and is on a wooded stretch of the Kayenta

Formation the remaining 2 miles to Rim Rock Drive. The last one-tenth of

a mile is crooked and steep, so please slow down before reaching the

stop sign at the intersection. Some years ago the brakes on a pickup

truck failed as the driver approached the stop sign, but he was lucky

enough to jump out at the top of the cliff just before the truck plunged

to the bottom of Columbus Canyon.
