There is only one other place that might be called an opening, and this is a small park-like break on the right side of the river, not far above Brown's Hole, formerly called Little Brown's Hole and also Ashley Park.

The Ashley men would have had a hard climb to get out of this place, and it is not probable that Provo would have climbed into it, as no beaver existed there.

It seems positive, then, that Ashley came to Provo in Brown's Hole.

Thus he did not "make his perillous way through Brown's Hole," as one author says, because he ended his journey with the beginning of that peaceful park.

They lost two of their boats and several guns in Red Canyon, and Ashley left there a mark to identify the time of his passage.
