The Navajo Trail is more of a song than an actual Old West Trail. Recorded in 1945, “Along the Navajo Trail” is a classic Country song written by Richard Charles Krieg (alias Dick Charles), Larry Markes and Edgar De Lange. It was the title song of a Roy Rogers film of the same name. The actual Navajo Trail has more rockslides than almost any other trail in Utah. Major rock slides have occurred in 2006, 2010 and 2011. The trail truly rocks!
