THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY Where America’s first coast-to- coast motor route still exists

Tooele County’s history abounds with playing a pivotal role in the movement of people and commerce across America’s West, such as the Hasting’s Cutoff, the Pony Express Trail and the Overland Stage during the mid to late 19th century. That role continued in 1912 with the Lincoln Highway, America’s first transcontinental highway that linked New York City and San Francisco by automobile. Several vestiges of the highway are still evident at Lake Point, Grantsville, Johnson’s Pass, Orr’s Ranch and Ibapah. A monument to the highway sits atop Johnson’s Pass next to state Route 199. For more information on the Lincoln Highway’s route through Tooele County, visit lincolnhighwayassoc.org.

6 | TOOELE COUNTY magazine TREE OF LIFE Tree of Life stands tall While driving across Tooele County’s West Desert, a Swedish artist had a vision of a tree springing out of the ground breaking up the monotony of salt and sky. Karl Momen returned and from 1982-86 he built the “Metaphor: The Tree of Utah,” also known as the “Tree of Life.” Near mile marker 26 on the northside of Interstate 80, the colorful tree stands 87-feet tall. Momen has offered several interpretations of his tree, which he donated to the State of Utah. There is no off-ramp, parking lot, or pull-off for the tree, but many vehicles do pull over on the side of road and people can be seen standing with camera in hand.

OQUIRRH OVERLOOK See far and wide from the Oquirrh Overlook Follow Tooele City’s Vine Street east to Middle Canyon and nine miles and 3,784 vertical feet later. you’ll reach the 8,988 foot-high summit of the Oquirrh Overlook, a breathtaking viewpoint for Salt Lake Valley, the Great Salt Lake, the Oquirrh Mountain range and much of the Wasatch Front into Davis and Utah counties. A birds-eye view of the Kennecott Copper Mine below reveals bug-sized 300-ton haul trucks moving precious ore from the mountainside for smelting 24/7 year round. See the “Copper Pit Overlook” breakout map on tooelecountytrails.com for specific information.

SIMPSON SPRINGS For an off-the-beaten path experience in the West Desert

Simpson Springs is the place if you’re looking for a remote experience in Tooele County’s West Desert. Located 55 miles southwest of Tooele City, Simpson Springs is on the Pony Express Trail and Prospector OHV Backway Complex. A restored Pony Express Station IOSEPA is the anchor attraction there, plus a BLM campground with 20 campsites. The visual backdrop west of the Pony Express Station is breathtaking, with the rugged Dugway Iosepa stands as a desert Range, Granite Peak and distant Deep Creek Mountains on the horizon. The place is highly remote, but the Town of Vernon, with a convenience store and fuel, is only 25 tribute miles away. For directions, check any mapping app. In 1889, Polynesian immigrants left paradise to be near an LDS temple and built a community in the unforgiving Skull Valley desert. They named it Iosepa — “Joseph” — for Joseph F. Smith, the missionary who taught them, and LDS church founder Joseph Smith. A century ago, they returned to their island homes. Today, a few crumbling foundations, a cemetery, and a small monument remain, but their spirit and courage live on. On Memorial Day weekend, May 25-27, 2018 join the Iosepa Historical Association’s festivities. Camp, feast, learn crafts and dance the hula among the tumbleweeds to celebrate this history. www.facebook.com/ IosepaHistoricalAssociation/In

TOOELE COUNTY magazine | 7 BLACK ROCK Memorable lake vistas at Black Rock Fifty feet above the Great Salt Lake’s sandy southern shoreline in Tooele County is a massive protuberance called Black Rock. The rock provides breathtaking views of the lake and the rugged northern front of the Oquirrh Mountains. Sunrises are spectacular from the rock’s summit, but sunsets are truly legendary. Brigham Young is noted to have traveled to Black Rock three days after entering Salt Lake Valley in 1847. It once was the site of a popular beach resort for families and featured a broad beach that extended to the east. Access is via the access road to the Great Salt Lake Marina from Saltair. Take exit 104 off of Interstate 80 or state Highway 202 to reach Saltair.

While crossing the Great Salt Lake Desert in September 1846, the Donner Reed Party tossed heavy items onto the desert to lighten their wagons’ loads. Hoping for a quicker route, the group took the Hastings Cutoff. It cost them weeks and put them in the Sierra Nevada during a late October blizzard. What happened next is well-known history. The museum houses these and other local historical items. After receiving renovations, the museum reopened Memorial Day Weekend and visiting hours will be by appointment only by calling 435-884-3411. Located on the corner of Cooley and Clark Streets in Grantsville. Visit donner-reed-museum.org. BIRDS OF THE FEATHER Where birds rule the roost Second only to Box Elder County, Tooele County has the next largest portion of the Great Salt Lake within its boundaries. Also nearby is the Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge in Juab County, which oversees the 10,000-acre marsh system in this zone of the Pacific Flyway.

For more info, visit fws.gov/refuge/Fish_Springs.

WILD HORSES The wild horses of Tooele County’s West Desert outback Wild horses roam free in Tooele County’s West Desert outback, descendents from herds that thrived among Native Americans centuries ago, or were castaways from the Pony Express Trail or passing Army troops in the 1800s. The herds are administered by the Bureau of Land Management, and it is possible to see them in their habitat. The biggest wild horse gathering in the county is the Cedar Mountain herd with up to 900 head. Next is the Onaqui Mountain herd at up to 500 head. Both areas are accessible, but before beginning your journey, see wildhorsetourist.com and blm.gov.

HISTORIC WENDOVER AIRFIELD MUSEUM Come and see where the end of World War II began Tooele County’s Historic Wendover Airfield Museum shares the top-secret story of how the airbase helped save the world from tyranny in 1945. The B-29 flight crew that dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan trained there. The hanger that housed the Enola Gay — the B-29 that carried the bomb — still stands. The museum’s artifacts and displays answer many questions about the county’s complex involvement in ending World War II. The museum is open Mon.-Fri. from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed Sundays. For more information, call 435-665-2308 or visit wendoverairbase.com.

HIKE DESERET PEAK Ascend to Tooele County’s piece of heaven Not all Utah hikes compare with the serenity and beauty of Deseret Peak atop the Deseret Peak Wilderness Area in the Stansbury Mountains. The 11,031 foot-high summit offers a 360-degree, high altitude view of Tooele County’s valleys, the Great Salt Lake, the Great Salt Lake Desert, and the distant Bonneville Salt Flats. The hike begins at the Loop Campground in South Willow Canyon. With a vertical gain of 3,500 feet over four miles, the mountain is neither for the beginner nor faint of heart.

Vine St., the museum opens Memorial Day with tours every Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through August.

The Town of Stockton five miles south of Tooele City has its own colorful past, which is celebrated and shared with visitors at the Stockton Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum inside Stockton City Hall located at 18 N. Johnson St. It began in 1861 when Army Gen. Patrick E. Conner and his soldiers from Stockton, California, came to protect the Overland Stage and Transcontinental Telegraph from American Indians. They built a tent settlement and soon discovered silver and gold in the nearby Oquirrh Mountains. Stockton quickly became a mining and smelter town. The museum is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday, except for Wednesdays (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.). For more information, call 435-882-3877 or 435-843-8327.

CAPT. STANSBURY BEACH Where Lake Bonneville’s history is stunningly revealed Except for the Great Salt Lake Marina off of Interstate 80, access to Great Salt Lake in Tooele County can be troublesome — except at the Captain Stansbury Visitor Overlook and Interpretive Trail on Stansbury Island. Named after Capt. Howard Stansbury, whose crew camped nearby while surveying the lake’s shoreline in 1850, the overlook has a parking lot, restroom, informational kiosks, and an interpretive trail that tells the 33,000-year-old history of Great Salt Lake and its ancient predecessor, Lake Bonneville. Due to Great Salt Lake’s current low level, water doesn’t reach the overlook’s beach. But the overlook and trail are a must-see. It’s located 25 miles northwest of Grantsville on Solar Road.

DESERET PEAK AND CEDAR MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS AREAS How many counties can boast having two wilderness areas?

How many counties in the U.S. can boast having two wilderness areas? Tooele County is the exception, with Deseret Peak Wilderness and Cedar Mountain Wilderness areas. Designated by Congress in 1984 and comprised of 25,078 acres, DPW is named after the namesake summit of the Stansbury Mountains. The 360-degree view from the 11,031-foot high summit is unforgettable. CMW was designated by Congress in 2006 and holds 104,585 acres. DPW features high alpine terrain with fir and aspen while CMW is high arid desert. Both are ideal for hiking and other outdoor adventures, and offer both spectacular scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities. CMW also has a wild horse herd. To learn more about both wilderness areas, visit wilderness.net.

A moment of silence hovered over the once rackety crowd as they all bent their necks upward to watch their hopes, dreams, or sorrows ascend to the oblivious darkness above.
