Founded in 1851, Fillmore was Utah’s first capital. Named after President Millard Fillmore to curry favor for early statehood, Fillmore lay at the center of the proposed state of Deseret. That state stretched from San Bernardino, CA, through much of the Great Basin into Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona and Nevada. A territorial capitol building was begun in 1852 at the center of this empire. Today’s red sandstone building’s original plans called for three levels and four wings, connected by a Moorish dome at the center. Only the south wing of Utah’s oldest existing governmental building was completed. The existing portion was finished in time for the December 1855 meeting of the Territorial Legislature, which was the only full session held in the old statehouse. In December 1858, the seat of government was moved to Salt Lake City--long before statehood in 1896. Territorial Statehouse State Park Museum offers a museum store and auditorium. Also, an All-American Rose Society Garden and picnic areas adjoin the museum.

How to get there: Located immediately north- east of the junction of I-15 and I-70, in the south- east corner of Millard County, 30 miles south of Fillmore. In the fall of 1849, Brigham Young sent Parley P. Pratt and a group of fifty men to explore southern Utah. This exploring company passed through the Cove Creek area before returning home to recommend the establishment of communities north and south of Cove Creek. Within the next few years, many towns in central and southern Utah were established. The pioneers who built these towns traveled through the Cove Creek region, as did a growing number of traders, trappers and settlers. Today, visitors can take a tour of the volcanic rock fort, the Ira N. Hinckley log home, garden, blacksmith shop, corral, barn, and bunkhouse. Cove Fort Days are the first Friday and Saturday in August.

supervise the fort’s construction. It was built of black volcanic rock and limestone native to the area. The walls are 100 feet long and 18 feet high. Lumber, mostly cedar and pine, was used for the roof, interior rooms and the massive fort doors. The fort contains twelve rooms. The rooms on the south were for business, domestic and entertainment purposes. The north rooms on were for overnight guests and family living quarters. For 23 years the fort bustled with activity. News of the west and the nation throbbed over the telegraph lines. Postal riders delivered mail to Mormon settlements to the north and south. Each day two stagecoaches, with a variety of travelers, rumbled up to the fort. Ira Hinckley As times changed, so did the need for the fort. In 1890, the Church leased out and later sold the The Cove Creek area was the midway point between fort. The descendants of Ira and Arza Hinckley acquired Fillmore on the north and Beaver on the south. It was an Cove Fort in 1988. They donated it to the Church of Jesus ideal location to construct a fort to provide safety and rest Christ of Latter-day Saints as an historic site.

10 Hood’s Wind Generator

In 1922, A.H. Hood began constructing a wind-powered electric generator atop Pahvant Butte. A gigantic single turbine set on a circular track to face the wind was envisioned. It was never completed. The concrete pillars and generator house still remain.

This unique geological feature on the north side of Pahvant Butte is the perfect stop for photographs or a picnic. During the Ice Age, 15,000 years ago, molten lava erupted and flowed into Lake Bonneville. This lava, frozen in time by splashing lake waves, resembles dripping wax.

To an early explorer, it must have looked like another desert mirage, a dream. But, Clear Lake is a genuine wetland fed by more than 100 natural springs. Active management enhances the 6,150 acres of wetland and upland habitats. It is a critical flyaway stopover point and important nesting area for waterfowl and shorebirds. Clear Lake hosts tens of thousands of birds of nearly 100 species annually. These species include Harrier hawks, Canada geese, various ducks, avocets, grebes and other species.

Fort Deseret (the Old Mud Fort) serves as a landmark of Mormon pioneer history and is the only remaining example of the many adobe forts built in Utah. It was built during the Black Hawk War of 1865. The walls were 10 feet high, 3 feet wide at the base and 1.5-feet at the top, resting on a lava rock foundation. The fort was completed in 18 days by 98 men. It was 550 feet square with bastions at the north- east and southeast corner, and portholes giving a view of each side. The fort was never attacked during the war.

The Telescope Array project is a collaboration between universities and institutions in the United States, Japan, Korea, Russia, and Belgium. The University of Utah is the host institute. The experiment is designed to observe air showers induced by cosmic rays with extremely high energy. It does this using a combination of ground array and air-fluorescence techniques. The array of scintillator surface detectors samples the footprint of the air shower when it reaches the Earth’s surface, while the fluorescence telescopes measure the scintillation light generated as the shower passes through the gas of the atmosphere. Over 750 cosmic ray detectors are spread out across 1,160 acres in the west desert of Millard County.

The camp begins at 10000 West Japanese military. Within a few months over 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry were removed from the coast and forced into ten camps. Topaz, one of those camps, was 16 miles northwest of Delta. It held about 8,100 internees at its peak population and a total of 11,000. The entire camp was 19,800 acres that included a cattle ranch, egg and chicken farm, pig farm, and agricultural land. Internees lived in barracks on one square mile.

Topaz internees were mostly from the San Francisco Bay Area. They had been merchants, students, and domestic workers. Some were artists and began an art school that taught over 600 students. Two elementary schools, kindergartens, and a high school accommodated students. The camp closed on October 31, 1945. For many years, few people talked about Topaz, but after the Commission on Wartime Relocation in 1983, Presi- dent Ronald Reagan signed legislation to give survivors reparation, and President George H. Bush issued a formal apology and checks for $20,000 to those who had survived the camps. The Commission concluded that the causes of internment were “race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership.”

Sand Dunes To Little Sahara 132 Sand dunes cover a lot of area in Millard County between Holden, Leamington Lynndyl McCornick, Oak City and Learnington. Several in the Oak City area are Pioneer Charcoal Kilns available for recreation. 174 ¤£6 The Sevier Desert was inundated by waters of prehistoric Lake Bonneville from about 20,000 to 12,500 years ago. At its greatest extent Lake Bonneville was a large freshwater lake covering most of Utah’s western valleys and small parts of Idaho and Nevada. Two distinct shorelines were created while the lake occupied this area, the Bonneville p (highest) and the Provo shorelines. Each formed when the level of the Oak City lake remained relatively constant for hundreds of years. A large delta Delta formed where the Sevier River entered Lake Bonneville at the Provo level. Sand Dunes This ancient delta extends - from the area near the mouth of Leamington Canyon to just north of the town of Delta. After Lake Bonneville receded, winds dominantly from the southwest began to transport some of the exposed deltaic sand northeasterly, eventually creating the current dune field. Most of this dune field is still active, with dunes migrating between 5 to 9 feet per year. Generally, the quantity of windblown sand in the dune field increases as one moves farther northeast. A gradual rise in ¤£50 ¨¦§15 elevation to the northeast and bedrock barriers within the dune field cause the moving sand to slow or stall and accumulate

19 Little Sahara Recreation Area Located in Juab County https://www.blm.gov/learn/interpretive-centers/little-sahara-recreation-area Administered by the Bureau of Land Management, Little Sahara Recreation Area is mostly devoted to off-road vehicle use. The Rockwell Natural Area located in the northwest corner of Little Sahara, is a 14-square-mile section off limits to vehicles in order to preserve and shelter desert plants and animals. The Little Sahara sand dunes, located in the north- eastern part of the Sevier Desert in western Utah, lie within the northern half of one of Utah’s largest dune fields (about 220 square miles). This dune field contains both actively forming or migrating dunes and plant-stabilized dunes. Little Sahara Recreation Area is not just one type of riding. With nearly 60,000 acres of dunes, trail and sagebrush flats, you’ve got options - plenty of them. Sand Mountain

North and west of Delta are five areas of remote geologic sites. Rhyolite formations at Smelter Knoll offer pitted rock suitable for aquariums and flower pots. The remaining four places are located just above Millard County line in Juab County. Keg Mountain and Desert Mountain are composed chiefly of extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks of Tertiary age. Lacustrine and alluvial deposits of Quaternary age cover the older rocks and fill in the valleys. Topaz, pseudobrookite, specular hematite, and bixbyite occur in cavities in the Keg Mountains Rhyolite. Drive to the west end of the pavement passing Topaz Mountain. A gravel road will branch off of the main route to the left. Near this intersec- tion Apache Tears (round nodules of obsidian) can be found scattered on the surface of the ground. Apache Tears form if water is present during the cooling of obsidian lava. Curved, onion-like fractures may form. If the central core does not get hydrated, the fresh obsidian core ends up being an Apache Tear.

After traveling 32 miles turn right at the sign indicating Antelope Springs and a commercial trilobite fossil site. Follow the gravel road for approximately 20 miles. The Antelope Springs area in the Wheeler Amphitheater offers both public and private quarries, so make sure you know where you are. The private quarries are well marked and charge a fee to dig, but can almost guarantee that you will find trilobites. Other sites can be found along the gravel roads to the south. A solitary Lombardy poplar marks the old homestead at Antelope Springs. Along the main road going north of this tree is the abandoned site of the Antelope Springs Civilian Conservation Corps‘ (CCC) camp established in the 1930s. The road will make a right turn to the left along the north edge of the camp.

Hermit’s Cabin Old Hwy 6 Locations: Marjum Pass GPS N 39.25439 - W 113.36136 Hermit’s Cabin GPS N 39.2477 - W 113.4036

In 1920, Hermit’s Cabin was constructed by Bob Stinson. Upon returning O ld H w y home from World War I, he learned that his sweetheart married another 6 & 50 man. Heartbroken, he traveled west. While making his way through Hermit's Cabin Marjum Pass just 45 miles from Delta, Bob’s vehicle broke down. He located a small natural cave in a side canyon. He walled in the front of the cave thus Painter Spring creating the Hermit’s Cave House or Hermit’s Cabin. The Hermit of Marjum Rockhounding Site Pass made a living keeping the pass clear of debris on Old Highway 6 & 50. He also trapped bobcats and coyotes, mixed poisons for the government to kill grasshoppers, and raised some sheep. Some of Stinson’s visitors were invited to sample his home brew. Stinson passed Notch Peak away in 1960, but his rustic home still stands. Please protect Hermit’s Cabin. Don’t lean on the walls. Don’t leave your mark. Always pack out your trash.

How to get there: Travel west from Delta on Hwy. 6 & 50 for 32 miles. MP 33 ¤£50 Turn right on the Long Ridge Reservoir Road. Travel north on the gravel ¤£6 Sevier road for 10.4 miles to a 4-way intersection. Turn left and drive west for 12.8 Dry Lake miles to Marjum Pass. Hermit’s Cabin is located in the last side canyon on ´ the north side of the road before entering Tule Valley. Painter Spring Rockhounding Site GPS N 39.1854 - W 113.4415 Accessible by: SUV, Four-Wheel Drive, ATV, Foot, Horse

Continue west through Marjum Pass and turn left at the intersection on Tule Valley Road. A large water tank and reservoir mark the place to turn east toward Painter Spring. This area is located on the west side of the House Range in the Tule Valley. It is located in the same pink granite upthrust as is the Amasa Basin. Large boulders are strewn across the landscape, some in fanciful forms to be seen by the eye and the imagination. The following can be found in the area: Albite, Biotite, Diopside, Garnet, Molybdenite, Gold, Pyrite, Quartz, Scheelite, Tourmaline, Tremolite, Vesuvianite, and Wollastonite.

28 Notch Peak GPS N 39.142481 - W 113.409385

Notch Peak’s sheer cliff juts up about 3000 feet above the desert floor. It is an amazing site-one of the most dramatic cliff faces in America. It has been called the desert equivalent of Yosemite’s El Capitan. The peak is 9,655 feet above sea level. It is in the House Range about 44 miles southwest of Delta. The 9-mile round trip from the trailhead off of Miller Canyon to the top offers solitude and spectacular views of the Great Basin in Utah and Nevada. The hike is not difficult, despite the 3000 foot climb. Only the final .25 mile to the top is relatively steep. Thought to be some of the oldest living things on earth, a stand of ancient bristlecone pine trees is found on one side of the peak. Gnarly trees twisting out of the rock toward the desert sun spread across the slope. Plan on an all-day hike. Bring plenty of water, as there are no water sources along the trail. Notch Peak is best hiked in the spring and fall. To drive around Notch Peak, a Loop of maintained gravel road is 44 miles west of Delta on US Highway 6 &.50. The 50-mile loop circles around peaks in the rugged House Range to Painter Springs. Take Tule Valley road northward to Dome Canyon Pass. This canyon is also known as Death Canyon. It got this name when immigrant travelers were stranded and died. Go through the pass, then south around the eastern side of the range and back to the highway. The loop will take at least 2 hours of traveling, plus any time you want to spend sightseeing. Photo courtesy of: Jeff Brunson

29 DAY TRIP 10 Rock Climbing Cliffs on Ibex Hardpan GPS N 38.971257 - W 113.380361 Accessible by: Family Car, Four-Wheel Drive, ATV, Foot

Desert playas (hard clay surfaced basins) dot the floor of the Great Basin. An impervious layer of clay underlies the playa hence the name hardpan. Playas fill with water following desert storms. They are rendered impassible when wet. Ibex Hardpan is 50 miles west of Delta in the southern Tule Valley south of US 6&50. The area is becoming world-famous among rock climbing and aviation enthu- siasts. The huge cliff composing the Ibex Crag has companion boulders and cliffs in the immediate area.

Fossil Mountain Rockhounding Site

GPS N 38.87583 - W 113.46861 Accessible by: SUV, Four-Wheel Drive, ATV

World-famous Fossil Mountain lies in western Millard County located at the southern end of the Confusion Range. Early Ordovician fossil-bearing rock from six distinct rock formations roughly 485 to 470 million years old are to be found: the House Limestone, Fillmore Formation, Wah Wah Limestone, Juab Limestone, Kanosh Shale, and Lehman Limestone. Invertebrate fossil specimens to be found include: brachiopods, bryozoans, cephalopods, conodonts, corals, echinoderms, gastropods, graptolites, ostracods (bivalved crustacean), pelecypods, trilobites, and sponges; perhaps the most diverse accumulation of fossils in one small area anywhere. Fossil Mountain lies to the west of the road passing through Blind Valley.

MP 36 Crystal Peak in the Wah Wah Mountains is a result of a Rock Climbing Cliffs on Ibex Hardpan volcanic eruption from a nearby caldera around 35 million years ago. Nearly 1,000 feet of the Tunnel Spring Tuff is visible many miles away as its startling white color varies from that of the Fossil Mountain Rockhounding Site surrounding landscape. Quartz crystals and other rocks and minerals are embedded in the tuff. Pumice is present in the Crystal Peak formation. Eroded holes in the Rockhounding Site face of the mountain attest to the forces of nature sculpting Cr yst the peak by removing the softer al P eak pumice. Nearby in the Burbank ´ Rd Hills are Devonian to Permian carbonate rocks, named after Margie Burbank Clay, the wife of local Judge E. W. Clay. Fossils include fusulinacea (fossil shells which can have either one or multiple chambers, some quite elaborate) and stromatoporoids (fossilized sponges).

31 Wild Horse Viewing on the West Desert Photo courtesy of: Kyla Overson Accessible by: Family Car, Four-Wheel Drive, ATV, Foot

Wild horses still run free on Millard County’s west desert. Over 500 free roaming mustangs live on approximately 500,000 acres of public lands. In 1971, the United States Congress passed the Wild Free-Roaming Wild Horse and Burro Act declaring these animals as “living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West” protecting them from capture, harassment, branding, or death. The BLM manages four Herd Management Areas (HMAs) in the county. Wild horses are sometimes best viewed in the Swasey HMA located approximately 50 miles west of Delta at the base of Swasey Mountain. The Middle Pond, fed via a pipeline from Swasey Spring, is the primary water source for horses on the east side of the mountain. Bring a pair of field glasses and scan the flats towards the base of the mountains north and south of the Middle Pond. Best time for viewing is late afternoon as horses travel to and from the pond for a drink. Other HMAs providing viewing opportunities are the Conger HMA, near Skunk Spring, and the Confusion HMA, located north of Cowboy Pass in the Confusion Mountains.

33 Great Basin National Park GPS N 39 00.356 – W 114 13.150

A few miles west of Millard County, just outside of the high desert town of Baker, Nevada, rests a place of immense horizons, dramatic light, forested peaks, and night skies dark enough to quiet the mind. Great Basin National Park is the gem of Nevada and the vast, silent Great Basin Desert. The park’s 77,000 acres host many of the highest peaks in the state, adorned with some of the oldest trees on Earth. Clutching wind-raked ridges and summits above 10,000 feet, some of these ancient sentinels have experienced the carnival hues of over a million sunsets, and after death may decorate the alpine with their whimsical forms for a thousand years or more. A round-trip trail walk of about 3 miles will find you at the Wheeler Peak Bristlecone Grove, the most expansive old grove in the Snake Range. Here you can enjoy a contemplative stroll through deep, living history beneath the stoic ramparts of 13,000-foot Wheeler Peak. When shadows stretch into evening the skies above the park broadcast a spray of stars so dense that the Big Dipper utterly succumbs. If, like most people, the Milky Way is foreign to your hometown skies, you’ll want to walk away from the campfire and linger to soak up light that’s travelled for eons to strain your neck. Orient your upward stare by attending one of the Ranger-hosted night sky programs at the Lehman Caves Visitor Center, which run between Memorial Day and Labor Day. But mostly, just take the time to ponder. Beneath it all, and steeped in almost as much mystery as the cosmos itself, sleeps Lehman Caves, awaiting your personal discovery. Under the mountain, in the beating heart of the range, you can tour an other worldly void draped with all the forms and textures of a child’s imagination. In the cave, time passes to the rhythm of gently falling water, and by immersing yourself in its calm isolation you can become a protector of these un-shadowed realms safe refuge and necessary shelter to bats in world rapidly becoming toxic to them. Campgrounds often fill during peak season, but camping opportunities abound outside of the park for those willing to engage in their public land. To reserve a tour through Lehman Caves, as well as for reservations to Grey Cliffs Campground inside the park, please call 877-444-6777 or visit www.recreation.gov. For more information call Great Basin National Park at 775 -234-7331.

1 23 DAY TRIP 12 OHV/ATV Trails

Each ATV trail system in Millard County provides miles of excitement in the grand settings of the Great Basin desert, forests, mountains and valleys. The ATV trails in eastern Millard County are part of the Paiute Trail system. There are four excellent ATV trail systems on public land in our western desert. They climb rugged mountains, cross deep canyons and ascend juniper covered hillsides. This area is remote - there are no services between Hinckley and the Utah / Nevada state line. The area is also very dry. You must carry any water, food and fuel you think you will need, plus a little extra just in case. Also carry tools and emergency equipment. Spring and fall months provide the best riding weather. Summers can be very hot, but it is still pleasant to ride early and late in the day. Winter nights are cold but days are often mild and riding can be enjoyable.

Central Utah’s Paiute ATV Trail

Millard County is part of this system of trails in Fishlake National Forest which is a loop trail with no beginning and no end. It passes through several towns and has side trails leading to others. Dirt Wheels rates the Paiute ATV Trail as one of the 15 best trails in the country; while ATV Illustrated rates it as one of the top five trails in the country. The trail is designed to provide an enjoyable recreational ride through fantastic scenery. The trail was formed by connecting old roads and trails through Fishlake National Forest and BLM managed land. Several narrow sections of trail were eventually constructed to complete the loop. The main trail is 275 miles long, with over 1000 miles of marked side trails and over 1500 estimated miles of side forest roads and trails: Due to its vast size, the Paiute ATV Trail is best explored in segments. Spring through Fall offers riding opportunities, though each season brings its own experiences and adventures.
