Josie Bassett Morris was a rugged individualist. She lived alone in an isolated, yet beautiful canyon for nearly 60 years. Lacking electricity, indoor plumbing and neighbors, she thrived on her own. Her homestead is located at the end of the Tour of the Tilted Rocks self-guided auto tour near the Temporary Visitor Center.
