You can check out the website for all the details, but here is my short version of the tour. As part of their supply system, the Mormons built this ranch over a fresh water spring. In the late 1800’s this gusher produced over 40 gallons per minute. Today the spring only pumps about 4 gallons per minute. After a fatal Indian attack, the Mormons add walls and a gate to fortify the structure. Before they complete the “fort,” they forge a peace with the Indians.
You guys can find some of the neatest places to visit. Would love to go out there one day to check this place out. Thanks for sharing. GOD BLESS

The truth is the places often find us. I am not a great planner, but will turn off on a dirt road in a minute!
Have you been back to Bryce Canyon this trip or is that closed? Utah is a beautiful state, that’s for sure.
Bryce is open. We drove by it on our way back from Grand Staircase the other day. So much to see we won’t get back to it all this time I am afraid.
