Brigham Young Visits the Malad Valley
In June of 1855, Brigham Young made a trip to the north country. He thought the Malad Valley to be a pretty desolate, cold, hard, valley, but tolerable with good grazing. He went farther north into the Bannock Country. Upon returning, he more fully appreciated the Malad valley. He said, "The Malad Valley looked like the most beautiful valley".
