9 November 1849 to 2 February 1850. Brigham Young asks Haight to assist exploring Southern Utah with Parley P. Pratt and fifty other men. The while near Sevier, the snow becomes deeper than the expeditions wagons. Haight and a small party explore the Little Salt Lake and Cedar Valleys. Upon reunification, the expedition begins to return to home, but has to split up for the lack of provisions. Haight joins Pratt on horse on the journey to Provo. He runs out of food, but is saved by relief wagons from Provo and makes it safely to the city.
