Talk:Beale Wagon Road

Is it true that "The Beale Wagon Road is also significant as the route of early immigration to Arizona from Utah" The Beale road was east and west. Going from Utah to Arizona was north to south, by way of Lee's Ferry. It may have been possible that for a short segment the wagons used the Beale road, but it would not have been a significant portion. I would appreciate any counter arguments or further information.
