Top 10 Ghost Towns in Utah, United States

November 23, 2021 Randal Brittian

Welcome to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” – Utah’s paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts! As host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City knows how to entertain winter fun seekers. Snowboarders and skiers head for miles of spectacular slopes with deep fluffy powder and breathtaking mountain views. The Olympic Park provides family-friendly ski programs, rides and shows. Alta, Sundance, Snowbird and Brighton are other popular destinations for cross country and Alpine skiers. Those alluring snowy slopes turn to rolling wildflower fields in the summer. Golfing, fishing, horseback riding and water sports replace chilly outdoor sports adventures. Corral the family, pack a picnic and catch one of the ski lifts for an afternoon of hiking or mountain biking along scenic trails. Head to Salt Lake City, where Temple Square hosts millions of visitors a year. Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park are famous for surreal landscapes from horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters to unusual rock formations and hundreds of natural sandstone arches. Closer to home, wander along the quaint main streets of mountain villages to browse, shop and enjoy lunch at an outdoor café. At the end of the day, head home for an outdoor barbecue and an evening of games. Home rentals blend privacy, space and comfort with the cost-saving advantage of eating some meals at home.

For those of us who love Ghost towns, this place is a gem. It’s beautifully restored and you can go inside and out of almost every building. We spent 2 hrs exploring after Zion. It’s a little hard to find but it’s tucked away behind the beautiful houses along the road leaving Zion headed towards Hurricane. It’s a dirt road driving in and out Mustang made it in just fine. Give yourself plenty of time to get here we saw a sheriff far in on this dirt road and don’t speed (25mph). One of the most restored ghost towns I’ve visited and one of the most memorable. I will return and I recommend anyone visiting Zion to check this out!

I'm also a fan of the 1971 Film Vanishing Point so on my way from Grand Junction Co. to Nevada. took the slight delay. Just a few miles to see for myself what it looks like today. Not much left but if you look at the Mountains in background of film it helps you to get your bearings. Sad that 50 years has passed since film and a reminder we all are changing.

Very interesting place to visit. Placards help navigating thru this historic town. We enjoyed to regents of the buildings as well as the explanations given in the placards. We also walked along the pathway to see the trails of different critters.
