Temple quarry trail

We went to the temple quarry trail up Little cottonwood canyon for FHE. It's a little loop around the area that the pioneers  quarried the granite for the Salt Lake temple. The most exciting thing was sitting in the middle of what is usually the Little Cottonwood river. Jeebs commented that the church needs to buy this land and do it up right! The signs around the trail have a little information about the quarry, but there could be a lot more done with it. I read online that you should be able to see where they have cut on some of the rocks or something like that. I didn't see any of that. We also looked for mountain goats and alas, we didn't see any mountain goats. Jeebs also had to make a quick get away to the bathroom, a pit toilet to end your evening, yuck.
