What has come to be regarded as the "second rescue" transpired in the 1990s, when members of the Riverton Wyoming Stake found that temple ordinance work for those ill-fated pioneers apparently had not yet been performed. Under the leadership of President Robert Scott Lorimer — they mounted a concerted effort to research the family histories of the Willie and Martin people and see to it that proxy baptisms, endowments and sealings were performed for them.

The Wyoming Riverton Stake raised the funds and constructed three monuments commemorating the belated handcart companies, one each at Martin’s Cove, the Willie rescue site, and Rocky Ridge. President Lorimer also negotiated the purchase by the LDS Church of the Rock Creek Hollow property in 1992, and in 1996 he helped complete the acquisition by the Church of the Sun Ranch property adjacent to Martin’s Cove. With this property, he was instrumental in the development and construction of bridges, trails, hundreds of handcarts, a visitor’s center, and the reclamation of Rock Creek Hollow.

Saratoga Springs Utah Stake TREK
Welcome to the Saratoga Springs Utah Stake Youth Trek Website. On July 10th, 2019 we’ll set out on a spiritual and physical adventure on the Mormon trail in Wyoming. We’ll experience a little bit what the pioneers had to go through to reach the Salt Lake Valley. We’ll trek on hallowed ground pulling handcarts to Martin’s Cove, Sixth Crossing, and traveling through the Sweetwater River. We will climb on Independence Rock and visit Rock Creek Hollow, just to name a few of the sites we’ll visit. Please review the content on this website and start preparing now spiritually and physically.
