In 1846, the Mormon Battalion was tasked with finding a southern wagon route to California. Its record-setting, 2,000-mile march passed through Yuma because this was the best place to cross the river. The U.S. Army of the West Mormon Battalion Foundation erected a bronze statue in 2007 to commemorate the historic journey. Find the statue on the river side of the main park road.
