Geocache Description:


The Witches are a group of rock formations between Echo and Henefer. They form one of the most interesting rock formations in the Weber River Valley. Frederick Hawkins Piercy, an English artist who published his drawings in “Route from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake Valley,” appears to have been responsible for giving the formations their name. On August 8, 1853, Piercy recorded, “We crossed Echo Creek from 15 to 20 times, most of the crossings were difficult. We passed many remarkable rocks to-day, but none I think so much so as Witches Bluffs, on the east bank of the Weber river. They are more like gigantic and somewhat rude pieces of statuary in the form of women than anything else. Out of compliment to their resembance to the ladies, I made a sketch of them.” [The Mormon Trail, yesterday and today, William E. Hill, (Logan, Utah: Utah State University Press, 1996), 170]
