ATTRACTIONS
n DINOSAUR DIAMOND
NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAY
Drive along this beautiful scenic byway,
which stretches across eastern Utah and
western Colorado. Three-quarters of the
512-mile loop are in Utah, and include
Vernal, Roosevelt, Duchesne, Price, and
Green River. Stop at one of several sites to
discover and explore dinosaur bones being excavated and prepared for display, see
bones and tracks still visible in the ground,
or visit a museum to see exhibits of reconstructed skeletons and recreated dinosaurs
in the flesh. The natural scenery along the
Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway
features an array of colorful rock formations along mountain passes, canyons,
cliffs, rivers, and plateaus. This enchanting
route and exploration of dinosaurs is quite
an adventure.
n ENERGY LOOP: HUNTINGTON
AND ECCLES CANYONS
This scenic byway was named the Energy
Loop as this area is where coal, gas and
power are produced. The Crandall Canyon Mine Memorial sits on Hwy. 31 off
Hwy. 10 in Huntington and indicates the
start of the Energy Loop. This drive provides breathtaking views and you will find
a series of kiosks filled with information
about the area along the route. Take time
along the drive to stop, relax and enjoy the
picturesque views, magnificent in every
season. The information that you collect
along the way will educate you about the
geologic, historical, energy and natural surrounds of each area of the drive.
n NINE MILE CANYON
This canyon is actually 46 miles long and
is truly one of the West’s ancient treasures. Petroglyphs, better known as rock
art, show remnants of a culture that lived
hundreds of years ago. This rare site is
easily accessible to hikers and campers.
Catch a glimpse of the granaries built by
the Fremont people or old iron telegraph
poles used in the late 1800s. Take the opportunity to experience this historical and
adventurous area. This rare site is easily

Castle Gate Mine explosion. From early
pioneers to former Klu Klux Clan owned
property, these areas provide a rich, historical experience. Note: To visit some
cemeteries, you must gain permission
by owners.
n HISTORIC COAL MINE TOWNS
Carbon County received its name due to
the large amount of coal deposits found in
the area. In the 1870s, as settlements were
established along the Price River, life was
not easy. Many people farmed, ranched,
and worked in coal mines to provide for
their families. Eventually new work for the
railroad and mining became available and
the area began to thrive. Many coal camps
and communities developed and people
came in droves to the area. Over time,
transportation became more dependable
and coal prices dropped. In turn, the coal
camp towns began to expire.
n NORTH SPRINGS

NATIONAL SCENIC
n ENERGY LOOP: HUNTINGTON
AND ECCLES CANYONS
Experience spectacular scenery and landscapes while journeying on Castle Country’s scenic drives. We promise that you
will not be disappointed and will return
time after time.
The Energy Loop National Scenic Byway
was named the Energy Loop as this area
in Castle Country is where some of the
area’s natural resources are produced.
The route is rich with the history of
coal mining with views of a coal-fired
power plant and an operating coal mine
Recreation opportunities abound with
campgrounds, blue ribbon fisheries and
six reservoirs for fishing and boating.
The Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byway is also known as the
Energy Loop. The route was named the Energy Loop as this area in Castle Country is
where some of the areas natural resources
are produced. Although the Energy Loop
is named for its energy production it also
provides great recreational opportunities
for any outdoor enthusiast.
Summertime activities include camping, fishing, boating, water sports, hiking,
horseback riding, biking and riding OHVs.
Wintertime activities include snowshoeing,
snowkiting, snowmobiling, cross country
skiing and ice fishing.
The Energy Loop drive provides
breathtaking views from every window of
your vehicle and along the way you will
find a series of kiosks filled with information. Take time along the drive to stop, relax and enjoy the picturesque views. The
information that you collect will educate
you about the geologic, historical, energy
and natural surroundings of each area of
the drive. The highest point on the Energy
Loop is 11,000 ft in elevation.
The natural light along this route
causes the scenery to change on an hourly
basis. The mountains become silhouetted
against the sky throughout the day and are
particularly spectacular at sunset when the
sky changes to crimson reds and orange.
Construction workers at the Huntington Dam along the Energy Loop made an
unparalleled discovery in 1988—the nearly
complete remains of a Columbian mammoth that lived about 9,500 years ago. It
may represent the last of its species before
climate changed caused mammoths to
disappear. Excavated in only five days by
a crew of experts and volunteers, the skeleton was saved and housed at the College
of Eastern Utah Museum, Price, Utah. You
can learn about the discovery and excavation of the mammoth at an informational
display located at the foot of the Huntington Dam. The display tells the story of discovery and provides a perfect view of the
excavation site where the old mammoth
once roamed. A short easy path takes you
from the parking lot beside Huntington
Reservoir down to the kiosk.
Throughout the Energy Loop you will
see many varieties of trees and flowers. The
area is a bird watchers paradise as Castle
Country has a multitude of species living
or migrating through the region. Catch site
of wildlife on the Energy Loop including
elk, deer, bear and mountain lion.
There are many hiking opportunities
along the drive, just remember to park in
designated areas and stay on the trails that
have been created. There are also many
well-maintained campgrounds and picnic
areas to choose from though day use fees
may apply in some areas.
Visit the Energy Loop during each season and witness a different perspective of
the same landscape.
Lands around State Route 31 in Huntington Canyon sustained significant
damage during the Seeley wildfire of 2012.
Although most campgrounds and trails
survived the fire with minimal damage,
the aftermath of flash floods and debris
flows destroyed infrastructure and forced
the closure of campgrounds and some
trails. The fishery east of North Hughes
Canyon sustained significant fish kill. From
milepost 33 to milepost 23, visitors are
advised to exercise caution, particularly
during times of rain or snow storms. The
road can close at any time due to flood.
Obey all closure notifications. Changes in
the canyon are most visible along about
10 miles of road. Spectacular scenery below the fire scar and above the scar is still
worth the drive. Seeing the fire effects
and nature’s recovery is fascinating, too.
Camping areas around Cleveland Reservoir, Lake Canyon, Rolfson, and Gooseberry Reservoir are open and available to
the public. They are excellent alternatives
to Huntington Canyon campgrounds.
For current conditions and closure status contact the Forest Service at (435)

The Dinosaur Diamond National Scenic
Byway provides opportunity to explore
the land where dinosaurs once lived and
roamed. Along this route you can visit various sites where dinosaur bones have been
discovered and spend time at museums
that display both reconstructed skeletons
and fleshed-out dinosaurs found in the
area. These museums have something for
everyone and are often creating new and
exciting exhibits.
This two-state byway runs through
an eastern portion of Utah and a western
portion of Colorado and is located on the
northern edge of the Colorado Plateau.
The dinosaurs occupied this land millions
of years ago. More recently, Native Americans occupied this land and left their stories on the rock cliffs. Some of the world’s
best examples of rock art are located along
the Dinosaur Diamond National Scenic
Byway.
Enjoy the many recreational opportunities this area offers including hiking,
camping, mountain biking, fishing and
ATVing. There is river rafting and kayaking, suitable for all levels, available on the
Green, Yampa and Colorado Rivers.

that winds through eastern Utah
and western Colorado. Like a real
diamond, the byway has many
interesting facets. Pristine and
awesome landscapes along the
way will take your breath away and
give you a glimpse into 200 million
years of earth’s history.
RANGE CREEK
A HIDDEN TREASURE TROVE
D
eputy U.S. Surveyor,
Augustus Ferron in 1884
discovered a small, permanent stream in
an unoccupied canyon on the Tavaputs
Plateau while surveying township lines in
Emery County. He named the stream Ranch
Creek. The following year, Ferron and four partners renamed the stream Range Creek and formed
the Range Valley Cattle Company. The area was ideal for
cattle as the stream provided year round water and an abundant
supply of natural grass for feeding.
Range Valley Cattle Company continued operation until 1902,
when it was sold to Preston Nutter, known as one of the only true
cattle kings that Utah ever produced. The Nutter empire stretched
from the Arizona Strip all the way to Nine Mile Canyon in Carbon
County.
Range Valley was opened to homesteading in 1915, prompting
numerous legal battles between Nutter and small ranchers seeking
a piece of the canyon. The only two ranchers that succeeded were
John Niles and John Darioli. Sadly, Preston Nutter died in 1936 from
injuries suffered when he fell from his horse in Range Valley.
His wife continued to operate the
corporation until 1951 when Ray “Budge”
Wilcox and his sons Don and Waldo purchased the Range Valley property from the
Nutter Corporation.
The Wilcox’s operated a successful cattle
ranch for the next 50 years until the death of Budge
when Don and Waldo divided the ranch. Waldo retained
the Range Valley portion until December 2001, when it was sold
and transferred to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was
then transferred to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
Range Creek Valley was once the home of numerous Fremont Indians and because this remote canyon was off limits to the
public until recently the prehistoric sites are numerous and well
preserved.
The Wilcox family recognized the value of the artifacts that
remained on the land and made sure that there was no trespassing into the area. Since 2001, State archaeological authorities have
been developing a plan for carefully protecting and studying the
Fremont Indian dwellings that remain. Archeological interest in
this area is very high due to the undisturbed nature of these sites. n
GETTING THERE
The gateway to Range Creek,
is 120 miles south of Salt
Lake City, Utah on Hwy. 6
in Price, Utah. For more
detailed directions please
visit the Carbon County
Recreation Center.
OUTFITTERS
AND TOURS
Licensed tour operators
are available for tours into
Range Creek. Please visit
our website for guide
services and tour operators
at www.castlecountry.com
The Fremont Indian Culture flourished
in Range Creek from 400 AD to about
1300 AD. When they left, they left behind
a treasure-trove of dwellings including
granaries perched on ledges on steep
cliffs, villages, and artifacts everywhere;
the ground you walk on reveals pieces of
pottery, arrowheads and other remnants
of an ancient way of living. The food
storage structures were so well preserved
they still contained corn that dates back
at least 1,000 years.
SAN RAFAEL SWELL
A
s one of Utah’s top tourist destinations the San Rafael Swell
is top of the list for family adventure. With
6,000 acres of sandstone formations, deep
winding canyons and buttes hours of exploring and fun awaits you.
The Swell is situated between Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry in the north
and Goblin Valley State Park in the south
and covers an area approximately 75 miles
by 40 miles. The earth’s movements millions
of years ago pushed up a dome-shaped anticline of sandstone, shale and limestone and
throughout the years, powerful flash floods
have eroded the sedimentary rocks into numerous valleys, canyons, gorges, mesas and
buttes developing this spectacular landscape
which awaits your discovery.
The Wedge Overlook in the Swell is one of Utah’s best scenic
vistas. As you look out from the viewpoint you will witness how
weather and time have eroded this gorge and transformed it into
an ever-changing landscape. From the overlook you can watch the
San Rafael River flow through and carve out the rock of the Little Grand Canyon. You can also see from this vantage point Sid’s
Mountain Wilderness Study Area, Window Blind Peak and the
southern Buckhorn Wash area.
There are countless valleys, canyons and peaks to visit in the
Swell including Little Grand Canyon and Little Wild Horse “Slot
Canyon”. Others landmarks have been given very unique names
such as the Head of Sinbad. For family fun try and work out how
these landmarks received their names.
Throughout the Swell you will find illustrative panels of prehistoric rock art, the
most captivating of these being the Rochester Creek, Black Dragon Wash and Buckhorn Wash. Look at the human-like figures
and the peculiar creatures that were hand
carved into and painted on the rock.
There are lots of activities to do in the
San Rafael Swell area including mountain
biking, horseback riding, ATVing, hiking
and camping. The magnificent scenery
carved out over time by the weather provides plenty of photo opportunities for the
novice or professional photographer.
The Swell provides an excellent habitat for wildlife including the Desert Bighorn
Sheep that live among the crags of this rugged landscape. Also found in the area are
eagles, falcons and hawks. Wild horses and burros that roam free
in the Swell are descended from animals left by early travelers.
Historical remains that you will find attest to the area’s ranching and mining heritage. At the Copper Globe Mine lie the remnants of an attempt to mine and smelt copper in the early 1900s
however there are no known records of any actual copper production from this site. This is a great area to explore but use extreme
caution and do not enter the old mines.
The history of the Cold War is evident in the San Rafael Swell
with remains of uranium and radium exploration throughout the
area still visible. Mining at Temple Mountain started as early as 1898.
When exploring the San Rafael Swell remember to leave only
footprints and take only pictures! n
The San Rafael Swell is Utah’s fastest growing tourist
destination. Most of this huge area is open to the public and
adventures are left only to the visitor’s imagination. The Swell
is 2,000 square miles of public land, known for its scenic
sandstone formations, deep canyons, desert streams, and
expansive panoramas. The Swell is a massive maze of winding
canyons, broken fins and buttes in the heart of Utah.
NINE MILE CANYON
T
he walls throughout Nine Mile Canyon are covered
in magnificent rock art depicting a way of life thousands
of years ago. Today, this rock art allows us a glimpse into our ancestors’ pasts, how they lived and the stories that they told.
Nine Mile Canyon is a place for family adventure where you
can marvel at the rock art and make up your own stories and interpretations of what these carvings mean. Displays of rock art can
be found just a few feet from the roadside and along the road there
are signs you can follow to discover some of the ancient art that
covers the canyon walls.
Don’t let the name Nine Mile Canyon deceive you though;
the Canyon actually stretches 46 miles along the northern side of
the Book Cliffs. It became known as Nine Mile when John Wesley
Powell in 1869 led a government expedition down the Green River.
The topographer on this expedition was F.M. Bishop and he drew
a nine-mile triangulation drawing of the area and named it Nine
Mile Creek. This name was later changed to Nine Mile Canyon and
so it is known to this day.
Nine Mile Canyon’s sheer cliffs are said to be the world’s longest art gallery due to the abundance of rock art that covers the
walls. Little did the Archaic, Fremont and Ute people know that
when they created this art they were giving us the ability to learn
about their cultures and way of life.
While exploring this remote and beautiful landscape you will
wonder how anyone ever survived in such elements. Inhabitants
such as Native Americans, farmers, outlaws and ranchers appreciated what the canyon offered and they cohabited with Mother
Nature to survive in this tough environment. The art and stories
of these dwellers has been preserved on the canyon walls for you
to witness.
The Prehistoric Museum (155 E. Main) and the Castle Country
Regional Information Center (81 N. 200 E., 435-636-3701) in Price
are good places to begin your journey through Nine Mile Canyon.
At the Information Center located adjacent to the museum, you
can speak to and get advice from locals who know the area and
who are more than happy to help you map out your adventure.
The Center also has roadside guidebooks, maps, directions and
brochures including the Nine Mile Canyon Guide. A guide book,
Horns, Snakes and Axel Grease Guide to Nine Mile, is available for
purchase in the museum.
It is important to remember that Nine Mile Canyon is a wilderness area and it is advised that visitors take plenty of water and
food with them and check weather conditions before traveling. It
is also important to make sure that your car is filled with gas; to
tour the canyon takes about six to eight hours including your adventure and discovery stops.
Nine Mile Canyon is mostly paved and many of the petroglyphs are visible from the road. There are dips in the road for flood
drainage that will restrict some vehicles, such as tour buses, from
enjoying the tour. n
Nine Mile Canyon is a step back in time. The stories
of people who lived there centuries ago grace the
walls of its sheer cliffs. This canyon, filled with the
best rock art in the west, gives a view of the life of
the Archaic, Fremont and Ute people. Nine Mile
Canyon’s rock art has been featured in National
Geographic and many other publications because
of its beauty and intensity. Large panels of rock art
can be found just a few feet from the road.

JURASSIC ADVENTURE
IN THE HEART OF UTAH
D
inosaurs have intrigued people since the first fossil
was discovered hundreds of years ago. These creatures
that once roamed the world before man continue to stimulate
curiosity and many questions about these fascinating creatures
still remain unsolved. Castle Country though, is helping scientists
discover and solve many of these questions as this area of Utah is
filled with dinosaur fossils, many that are still undiscovered.
Begin your expedition at the Prehistoric Museum in Price.
The museum has an impressive and well-displayed collection of
dinosaur fossils as well as artifacts of ancient local cultures such
as the Fremont and Ute Indians. Main attractions at the museum
include the Utahraptor and the Allosaurus skeletons. The museum
has something for everyone, young and old. Children can dig in the
dinosaur discovery quarry in the children’s area and discover their
own dinosaur bones. Plan to spend about an hour at the museum
before you continue your expedition to take full advantage of all
the exhibits.
Make the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry the next stop on
your adventure. Located 30 miles south of Price in the San Rafael
Swell, the quarry is well worth a visit. The densest concentration
of Allosaurus fossils in the world (46) has been unearthed at the
quarry. These, as well other Jurassic fossils and dinosaur bones
from the quarry are on display throughout the world.
More than 12,000 individual bones and one dinosaur egg
have been excavated from this fossil haven. At least 70 different
animals and11 species have been found here and two species have
been discovered here. The reconstructed Allosaurus skeleton and
the Stegosaurus wall mount will take your breath away.
PHOTO COURTESY STEVE GREENWOOD
The educational exhibits at the visitor center are fascinating
or arrange to take a ranger-guided hike through actual dinosaur
tracks.
The Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry was designated as a
National Natural Landmark in 1966 and today is still an intermittently working dig. You still can see dinosaur bones that are still in
place in the quarry walls. If you are lucky, you can watch as paleontologists unearth additional dinosaur bones from this amazing
deposit.
The University of Wisconsin Paleontologists at Oshkosh are
resuming excavation at the Quarry in hopes of solving this Bermuda Triangle of the Jurassic era.
The Dinosaur Diamond National Scenic Byway, named for the
rough diamond shape of this vast area, is a great route to follow to
discover Castle Country’s dinosaur lands. The route connects you
to all the major dinosaur attractions in the area.
Please remember that the dinosaur fossils found in the area
contain valuable information into the past and are protected by
federal and state laws. When fossils are removed or damaged by
people who are not experts, what they could tell us can be lost
forever.
We all have the responsibility to help preserve history. Dinosaur fossils are a rare and precious resource. Anyone who discovers
any fossils should report their find to the nearest Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) office or to the Utah Division of State History.
Please do not collect dinosaur fossils or any fossil bones or tracks
you find. But please do enjoy collection other, more common fossils such as oysters, clams, or ammonites. Small quantities for personal enjoyment and sparking the imaginations of children are a
great use of this resource on public lands outside the quarry area!
Remember…take only photographs and leave only footprints!

Country please visit our website. n
HELPER CITY
H
elper was first settled in 1881 by Teancum Pratt and
the members of his extended family, including his plural
wives Annie and Sarah. Settling in to what he described as “a lonely
wilderness” he sought to escape the “hunters, trappers and bachelors and raveheads” in the area of his previous farm along Gordon
Creek. Alas, he failed to find the peace he sought. The railroad was
coming and less than six months after he filed for his homestead,
giving in to the inevitable, he sold parts of his family’s property to
the DR&G railroad. A rail yard was born.
Helper’s destiny arrived with the rail yard and its complement
of “helper” steam engines. These engines were attached to the
trains traveling to Provo and Salt Lake City, “helping” the trains
with the steep grades found in Price Canyon. Helper had found its
name and its purpose.
At that time trains needed steam and steam required coal and
mining coal required men. Soon immigrants arrived in Helper by the
hundreds, searching for the “American dream”. Italians, both from
the north and south of Italy,
Greeks, Yugoslavians, Japanese,
Slovenians, Chinese, Eastern European Jews, and Christian Lebanese rushed to the area. Many
labored in the mines, but some
soon left to create businesses in
Helper. Photos of Helper from
the early 1900s show Greek
coffee houses, Italian bakeries,
Japanese restaurants, Jewish
and Italian Mercantile Stores,
together with saloons, billiard parlors, and hotels of all ethnic origins. By 1920, 27 different languages were spoken in Helper.
Today, a must see stop in Helper is the Western Mining and
Railroad Museum. Here the story of the mines and railroads, together with the immigrants who worked them, the businesses who
provided goods and services to them, and the families who followed, is shown in the many exhibits. Explore the basement mine,
stand where Butch Cassidy stood when he robbed the Castlegate
payroll, shop the company store, and be awed at life in the coal
camps. Housed in the old Helper Hotel, the museum provides a
trip back in time to the beginnings of Helper and the hard working
people who formed its character and enduring legacy.
Of course no visit to Helper would be complete without a
stroll through the Historical District on Main Street. Here restaurants, coffee houses, antique stores, art galleries, studios, unique
shops compete with history for your attention. Admire the work
of stone masons from the old country while enjoying a leisurely
walk. Sample the taste and tenor of current offerings from businesses firmly planted on the foundations of the past. Come early
the First Friday evening of each month and stay late for food, fun,
art and culture. Helper even has a convenient Amtrak depot if you
plan visit by train.
For a more leisurely moment, you can find quiet places along
the Price River as it winds its way through Helper. Here, one block
off Main Street, you can walk the Price River Walkway and find
natural areas to sit and listen to the melody of the river. Or you
can bring the family for a picnic at the pavilion and burn youthful
energy with a volleyball game.
If you are looking to explore the surrounding mountain areas,
the Spring Canyon Trail is just the thing. Located in the west part of
town, the trail follows the abandoned railroad line that served the
old coal camps: Peerless, Spring Canyon, Sandersville, Latoya, Rains,
and Mutual. Several parking areas and restroom facilities are available along the trail. For a greater challenge, the Kenilworth-Helper
Railroad Trail is ideal. Following the abandoned railroad line between Helper and the small mining town of Kenilworth, the trail is
steep and winding. It is suitable for walking, biking or ATYing (rentals available in Helper). The trail begins at the foot of the mountains
in North Helper and climbs nearly 1,200 feet into Kenilworth.
If you prefer to mingle with crowds rather than walk the roads
less traveled, plan your trip to coincide with one of Helper’s many
events. In June, come for the Outlaw Car Show and see the cars!
Behold Firebirds, Mustangs, Corvettes, Chevelles, TransAMS and
other cars as they display America’s passion for the automobile.
More polish and metal than the park can hold, all for your viewing
pleasure.
On the third weekend in August, the Helper Arts and Music
Festival arrives on Main Street with over 65 booths in the arts and
crafts marketplace. Start your day with a pancake breakfast in the
City Park. Then visit the studios to meet the artists and see them
work. Attend plays, listen to presentations, hear live music from a
variety of bands. Sample food and beverages in the food court. A
5K run and a Car and Motorcycle Show coincide with the festival.
In December, Helper becomes Utah’s Christmas
Town. Beginning before Thanksgiving, the town
is transformed with Christmas cheer. Chili
dinners, auctions, street decorations and
lights galore. Attend the Holiday parade to
celebrate the lighting of Main Street.
Grab a cup of cocoa and
stay for the fireworks.
Buy a gift or share a
smile. Enjoy Christmas
in the old way. n
Remember to stop by and visit
“Big John” — a high-gloss, black metal
statue commerating the roots of this
historic coal mining community.
Standing over 20-feet, the iconic statue
stands tall in front the Helper Civic
Auditorium — a WPA style building still
in use today for community events.

OLD MINING TOWNS
WHERE HISTORY WAS CARVED OUT
T
ake a step back in time and
visit Castle Country’s old mining
towns. As an area of Utah that thrived on
coal excavation, at its peak Castle Country
was alive with the sound of the mining industry. Today, you can visit many of these
mining towns some that are abandoned
and some that are still home to those who
used to work in the mines or still have
working mines in them.
It was after the 1950s that coal production began to decrease in the area and
many miners and their families packed up
their belongings and moved to other areas
of Castle Country or out of the area all together. All that is left of many of these mining towns is dust and memories, though
there are some that still have a few buildings standing.
Old, abandoned mining towns that
can be visited and where only memories
and some say ghosts remain include: Castle Gate, Coal City, Consumers, Latuda,
National, Royal, Peerless, Spring Canyon,
Standardville. Other mining towns to visit
and where people still live today include:
Clear Creek, Helper, Kenilworth, Scofield,
Sunnyside, East Carbon and Columbia.
There are many wonderful mining
towns in the area to visit. It is definitely
a fun and worthwhile experience to take
the time, learn and visit these towns that
were the foundation of Castle Country.
Books about Castle Country’s mining
towns can be purchased at the Western
Mining & Railroad Museum in Helper
and the Prehistoric Museum in Price.
For information about the mining towns
and how to get there visit our website.
n WINTER QUARTERS
Winter Quarters was named after two
men, John Nelson and Abram Taylor, after they had to spend the ‘winter’ there
in 1875. Two years later, in 1877, a group
of men ventured over the mountain from
Sanpete County, settled the town and began working the mountain for coal. When
the quantity of coal became apparent
more and more people moved to Winter
Quarters and a railroad, named the Calico
Road, was built to haul the coal out of the
valley. Winter Quarters was the first mine
opened in Utah and was owned by Pleasant Valley Coal Company.
At 10:15 a.m. on May 1, 1890 disaster
struck this small mining town when an
explosion in the mine killed 199 men. The
community was greatly affected by this
and the town would never be the same.
Once Castle Gate mines opened in 1920
production was decreased at Winter Quarters and by 1928 the town was abandoned.
For many years the buildings in Winter Quarters stood quiet, boarded up and
rotting into the ground. Eventually they
collapsed or were torn down by scavengers and now only the grass covered foundations remain of Utah’s first coal camp. A
small remnant of the old company store is
still standing today and can be seen from
downtown Scofield.
Winter Quarters is not open for access but from the town of Scofield you
can see up into Winter Quarters Canyon.
Pay a visit to the cemetery in Scofield for
a haunting reminder of those who died on
May Day 1890. The cemetery is located off
Hwy 96 in Scofield and stands as a beautiful historical reminder with its refurbished
headstones and well maintained grounds.
n CLEAR CREEK
Clear Creek was originally a logging camp
cutting roof support timbers for the mine
at Winter Quarters. It wasn’t long though
until the soil shifted and coal was found at
the camp. The coal was of such high quality the area was immediately developed. In
1898 the railroad extended its line to here.
By 1908 there were over 600 people living
in the town of Clear Creek.
Local social activities were prevalent here, with dances held twice a week
and visiting theatre groups giving performances. During the hard winters the locals
entertained themselves with winter sport
activities such as sledding and skating.
Times became hard though and coal
demand dropped in the 1920s and 30s and
people began to slowly move out of the
community, though many were now very
prosperous. By the time the Great Depression hit there were less than 300 people
living in town. By the mid-1950’s production had completely ended, the mine had
closed and the people had left.
Today, Clear Creek is remembered
for the good times that the once thriving population had there. There are still a
few year-round residents in town though
and in the summer the population does
increase again as many of the old houses
have been converted into summer cabins.
n SCOFIELD
People originally came to Scofield, not for
the coal but to establish ranches as the
hay that grew there was rich and plentiful.
Coal though was soon discovered and by
1882 when the railroad came to the valley
there were 800 people living in town. Scofield continued to thrive and people would
travel to town during the summer months
to take advantage of the cool mountain
air. Life in Scofield was never dull and there
are many reports of gunfights, arson and
Ku Klux Klan activities in town.
The town was alive and bustling until after World War II when it began to fall
into decline, coal production was ceased
and people started to leave.
Scofield is still an active town but
has very few year-round residents. Visitors flock here during the summer months
to escape the desert heat and enjoy this
beautiful valley along with Scofield State
Park.
n ROYAL
The town of Royal was scattered through
Bear Canyon, through Castle Gate and up
into Price Canyon. It was a very active mining town in the early 1900’s but by 1940
many had left the town of Royal. The mine
still continued production and many miners commuted from the towns of Castle
Gate and Helper. In 1941 disaster struck
the Royal mines when an explosion in the
mine killed one miner.
As with many of the other coal camps
in Castle Country, as demand for coal
decreased, the mines at Royal were abandoned. By the end of the 1950’s the town
of Royal was empty.
Today, lilac bushes still bloom in
empty yards and a few building still remain
standing. It is said that on cool summer
evenings you can walk along the street in
Royal and almost hear the chattering of
neighbors and children playing.
n CASTLE GATE
By 1974 Castle Gate was a ghost town, one
of the most recent in Castle Country. A
hive of industry in the early 1900s, modern transportation began to take its toll on
Castle Gate and people began to move out
of the town to the larger communities of
Price and Helper.
Castle Gate had seen its fair share of
disaster over the years. In 1924, the second
worst mining disaster in the west occurred
at the mine. The cemetery, located on
Hwy. 191, just past the Castle Gate Power
Plant, is a somber reminder of those who
lost their lives in the mine that day.
The town will of Castle Gate will always be remembered though, and not
just for its coal production. In April 1897,
Butch Cassidy and Elza Lay rode into town
and robbed the Pleasant Valley Coal Company offices that were located in town
and made off with $7,000 in gold coins.
This money has never been recovered and
some say is buried in the areas surrounding Castle Gate. n

SCOFIELD TOWN
S
cofield Town was founded in 1879 and began as a mining camp situated high in the Manti-LaSal Mountains.
Scofield was named for General Charles W. Scofield, a timber
contractor and local mine official. Scofield is remembered most
for the Scofield Mine Disaster of 1900 that killed 200 miners and
was the worst mine disaster in American History to that time.
A mine explosion occurred at 10:28 a.m., May 1, 1900, at the No. 4
mine shaft of the Pleasant Valley Coal Company’s Winter Quarters.
A rescue team was quickly assembled to assess the damage and
start the rescue operations for the coal miners trapped inside the
mine.
Almost 150 of the fallen coal miners are buried in the Scofield
Cemetery that sits atop a hill on the east side of Scofield. In May,
2000, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the disaster, new
grave markers were put in place to remember those who lost their
lives.
Adjacent to Scofield Town is Scofield Reservoir and Scofield
State Park. During the summer months enjoy camping, boating
and fishing, during the winter enjoy ice fishing, snowmobiling and
cross-country skiing. Three separate areas of the Park offer amenities for day and overnight use. There is a fee to enter the park in
the summer.
Scofield Reservoir is famous for great fishing. The reservoir
and nearby streams are home to many trout species. n
The Scofield area is also known as
Pleasant Valley, and is home to
Pleasant Valley Days held each Fourth
of July weekend. Visit the old school
house and view an historical photo
exhibit of the Scofield Mine Disaster
during the celebration. Scofield town
has 28 full-time residents but that
number increases significantly during
the summer as many out-of-area
folks have built summer homes in the
valley to enjoy the fresh mountain air
and cooler temperatures.
EAST CARBON/SUNNYSIDE
n EAST CARBON
East Carbon City got its humble begin
nings in the fall of 1942, when the U.S.
Government, through the Defense Plant
Corporation, awarded a contract to W.E.
Ryberg-Strong-Grant Corporation to develop this town. The town was first named
Drager, after the Chief Engineer for the
Defense Plant Corporation, W.L. Drager,
who was raised in Utah. The purpose of
this new town was to house the coal miners employed at the Geneva Mine.
On September 9, of that same year
the new post office moved into its new
building and during the ceremonies
held that day, it was announced that the
postal service would not allow the name
of Drager to be used. It was their contention that the name Drager was too similar
to the name of Draper and that it would
create confusion and delays in the mail.
The Post Office Department proposed
that Dragerville and Drager Town be submitted for consideration. The name of
Dragerton (a derivative of Drager-town)
was selected, and the area was known
by that name until the town was incorporated in 1973 and its name officially
changed to East Carbon City.
n EAST CARBON MUSEUM
On August 4, 2009, East Carbon welcomed the opening of the long anticipa
ted town museum. The museum features
materials, displays and videos covering
the life and times of those who have lived
and worked in the East Carbon area. The
museum is open Noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday
through Saturday. Call (435) 888-0262 for
more information.
n BO HUFF CAR MUSEUM
Growing up in Dragerton in the 1950s was
an exciting time for Bo Huff. There were
many custom cars and hot rods cruising
the streets in Carbon County and Bo fell in
love with these machines. At 18 Bo began
working on one of his first cars, a 1950
Dodge. “I was always looking at the older
guys in their lowered cars and loved them,”
says Bo.
Very quickly Bo developed a keen eye
for bodywork modifications. He used to
ride along with those who had customized
their cars and suggest other modifications
that the owners could do. These suggestions always turned out to be great successes and car owners listened to what Bo
had to say.
A little later, Bo left Carbon County
and headed off to Denver, Colorado to attend school to learn about car body and
fender work. After finishing school he
moved to Salt Lake City and bought a 1927
Model T (Ford). He worked on this car,
perfecting it in every way, for the next 10
years. Bo recalls that during this time State
Street in Salt Lake City was the place to be.
“We would all cruise to Don Carlos’ and
Fred & Kelly’s. Those were the hot spots on
State Street in those days.”
After many years of customizing cars
in Utah Bo moved to Orange County,
California. It was then, in the 1960s, that
Bo opened his own custom car shop, Bo
Huff’s Custom Creations. He then moved
to Fayetteville, Arkansas and opened another shop there.
Nowadays you will find Bo back living
in East Carbon where he still builds some
of the best custom cars around. On May 1,
2009, Bo opened the Bo Huff Custom &
Hot Rod Car Museum. Inside the museum,
you are surrounded by, on every wall and
ceiling, memorabilia and work that Bo
and his crew have collected and worked
on throughout the years. To schedule an
appointment to tour the museum call
(435) 888-2060.
feet. The views from the top are magnificent as you look out over the San Rafael Swell, Cedar Mountain area and the
Manti–La Sal mountain range. You do
however, need an off road vehicle to get to
the very top.
When traveling up to Bruin Point
stop and see the old asphalt mine gravity
fed tramline. Large timber towers support
the heavy cables and you can see some of
the old ore cars that still hang there. The
tramline runs 3 ½ miles from the mine to
the junction at Whitmore Canyon Road.
Asphalt was first mined here in 1892 and
was used to pave the streets in Salt Lake
City in the early 1900s. There is a monument marker at the Sunnyside/East Carbon Junction that explains the history of
the asphalt mine.
n SUNNYSIDE BIG HORN SHEEP
Sunnyside’s Bighorn Sheep are a real treat
to view. You will find them along the Whitmore Canyon Road, Hwy 123, about ½ mile
east of Miner’s Trading Post in Sunnyside.
They can usually be seen early morning,
late afternoon and into the evening. Sometimes you will find them seeking shade under the bushes and trees close to the road.
The herd will let you photograph them as
long as you don’t sneak up on them.
The rams are usually in the area between mid-April and early May and then
late August until early September. When
they are not in Sunnyside they are in the
Bookcliffs and Green River areas looking
for females to mate with.

n PRICE CANYON
The trail through Price Canyon climbs
700 feet to the top of the canyon and offers spectacular views of the neighbouring Bookcliff Mountains. Starting at an
elevation of 7,800 feet, the trail is a little
over 1 ¾ miles. The scenic Price Canyon
Recreation area is situated 10 miles north
of Helper and is the ideal location for
picnicking and nature watching, as well
as hiking.

as you follow these trails and eventually
narrows so much that you end up walking
sideways.

This ten mile trail is open to hikers on foot,
horses and bicycle riders though cross

This gentle downhill trail, which follows a
mountain stream, is well maintained and
easy to follow. Don’t be surprised to see a
variety of animal species including mule
deer, elk, moose, bear, mountain lion, redtailed hawks, great blue herons and dippers. Beaver have built many dams in some
parts of the stream and active colonies exist. Rainbow and Cutthroat trout are present throughout the stream.
The trail can be traveled from about
mid-May through October. The trailhead
begins at Fish Creek campground approximately 6 miles from Scofield. Take the road
running north from Scofield along the
west side of the reservoir to the turnoff to
Forest Development Rd. (FDR) #123. Follow FDR #123 to the campground.
The trail ends on Skyline Dr., (FDR
#150) approximately 14 miles north of the
junction of SR 31 and SR 264.
n CASTLE VALLEY RIDGE
The Castle Valley Ridge Trail System
offers hikers, bikers and horseback riders’
access to some of the most breathtaking
scenery into Castle Valley and the desert
country of South Eastern Utah. At 7,500 to
10,000 feet, these high elevation mountain trails provide magnificent views of
surrounding valleys.
The entire Castle Valley Trail System
was affected by the Seeley Fire of 2012.

comfortable hiking shoes
Remember before setting out on your

MOUNTAIN BIKING
Over the last decade Utah’s Castle
Country has developed such a variety
of mountain biking trails that we are one
of the West’s favorite destinations.
From tight, twisty high-desert singletrack and open-flowing alpine forest trails
to the exposed cliff lines and epic runs—
and let’s not forget our 11-month riding
season—if you aren’t riding Castle Country, you’re missing out.
The year 2013 marks the 10th anniversary of the completion of the first section of Luke’s Trail. Luke the pit-bull was a
founding member of P.A.S.S. (Price Area
Single-track Society). Luke’s Trail was built
in the mesas below the Book Cliffs, north
of Price, an expansive network of mountain bike trails. These trails were designed
by mountain bikers and new trails are being added all the time.
The P.A.S.S. Trailfest, held the first
weekend of May each year, is a celebration
of single-track, mountain bikes and shared
joy.
Other trails in Castle Country include
Wattis/Cove Loop, Trestle Loop, Kenilworth Loop, Helper/Kenilworth Loop,
Castle Valley Ridge and the Fish Creek trail.
The Castle Valley Ride and Fish Creek trails
are located above Scofield. At 10,000 feet,
these trails provide an extra challenge to
the rider as you have to contend with the
altitude, but you will agree that it is all
worth it in the end.
Castle Country is the ideal destination
for mountain biking. With a cooler climate
than Moab and a larger variety of trails
once you have ridden these trails you will
definitely return here time and time again.

n HELPER WESTERN MINING
AND RAILROAD MUSEUM
n PREHISTORIC MUSEUM,
USU EASTERN
A life-size Utahraptor skeleton greets you
in the museum lobby as you begin your
expedition at the Prehistoric Museum in
Price. Here you can travel back in time
150 million years when dinosaurs roamed
Southeastern Utah or 10,000 years ago
when the first humans in the area roamed
the magnificent vistas and plateaus.
Wander the Hall of Paleontology,
which features several complete dinosaur
skeletons from the Jurassic and Cretaceous
periods. The dinosaur-discovery area is the
centerpiece of the children’s educational
area. Here your little ones can participate
in a variety of activities that are fun and
educational.
A popular attraction at the museum
is the Living Fossils exhibit where you can
watch live feedings of the creatures every
Friday at 4 p.m. (General admission rates
apply)
Continue your journey through the
Hall of Archaeology, featuring the world
famous Pilling Figurines. These Fremont
artifacts, dating to AD 1000, have been
featured in National Geographic magazine.
These figurines are some of the most ornate
clay figurines in the New World. With
the recent recovery of a figurine missing
from the set for decades, these artifacts
have been the subject of interdisciplinary
research verifying the authenticity of the
returned figurine. Look for further updates
on these figurines, as the research team reveals their results!
The Archaeology Hall also features the
world-renowned 10,000 year old Huntington Mammoth. Hunted by early Native
Americans from the Paleo-Indian period,
the mammoth was found in a mountain
Railroads and Mining created Helper. The
Western Mining and Railroad Museum
strives to show the life of the people who
worked in those industries. Through the
exhibits and objects in the museum, you
will begin to discover how the many immigrants who came to Helper and the
surrounding coal camps lived their lives.
Discover their grief in the photographs
taken following the many mining disasters. Find their power in the pictures of
the mighty steam engines. See their love
of country in the photos of the veterans
of the great wars of the twentieth century.
Descend into the basement and feel
the cool blackness of the mines amid the
equipment and uniforms of the miners.
Wonder at the power of a lowly canary to
warn of disaster. Come sense in the many
tools on display, the resolve of the miners
to master their world.
Discover the love of family and friends
in displays of warm kitchens, rowdy bands,
one-room schools, churches, and fraternal
organizations. Feel the competitive spirit in
the baseball room where coal camp leagues
are given the spotlight.
See also objects of reprobates and
soiled doves. Stand on the steps of the Old
Castlegate Offices, Butch Cassidy’s stage
when robbing the payroll in front of 150
miners. Feel the loneliness of a new immigrant in a new world and experience
his search for solace in “the Shady Side
of Helper”. Find rebellion in the stills that
produced rotgut liquor; the crocks, which
held homemade beer; and the bottles,
which poured “Dago Red” wine during
prohibition.
The Helper Western Mining and Railroad Museum is open year round 10–5
p.m., Mon. through Sat., May 15 through
Sept. 15, 11–4 p.m. Tues. through Sat., Sept.

In the summer, take a break from frolicking in the waves and enjoy your picnic
under one of the pool’s cabanas and then
lay out in the sun before jumping back in
the waves. A heated “bubble” covers the
pool in the wintertime making it feel like
a tropical paradise and ensures that you
don’t miss any valuable swimming and fun
time when the colder weather sets in.
There are many classes and activities held at the pool including year round
swimming lessons, water aerobics, lap
swimming and the youth swim team for
