A magical place in time and spaceSomething for everyone in a place where fun is the daily routineSomething for everyone in a place where fun is the daily routine

Castle Country beckons the explorer in almost everyone. From outstanding natural geologic formations to world class museums. From great reservoirs to small lakes. From the high mountains with alpine views to red rock deserts with slot canyons that penetrate them. Prehistory is a way of life in Castle Country. Almost everywhere one turns they can see the ancient past; in the cliffs where the Fremont built their pit houses to the writings on the rock walls where in some places people so ancient dwelt that their legacy is all but forgotten except for some markings on the stone walls. The modern history of the area is also rich with tales of lore. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid conducted the largest robbery of their careers in Castle Gate, near where the Carbon Power Plant now stands. Hunted by two posses for the deed, the lawmen actually got in a gunfi ght with each other, supposing each side was the hunted. Today the area is rich in energy de-velopment. Coal bed methane gas pours from wells into people’s homes in much

more populated areas through a number of pipelines that have been put in in recent years. Coal, a staple in the area since the late 1800’s, is brought from deep under the ground and placed either in one of three coal burning plants in the area or transported to other venues to produce electricity for millions of homes. But the heart of the area has little to do with its geography. It has to do with its people; people who came here fi rst to trap, then to farm and fi nally to become the workers in one of the biggest energy producing places in the west. They came from all walks of life and from dozens of countries. Today their legacy remains in their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and in some cases great- great-grandchildren. The people of the area have valued their lives here in this land rich in many ways. They have built oasis in a des-ert that is hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. They have produced numerous celebrations to tell about their history and inheritance. Some speak of

agriculture, such as Melon Days and Peach Days. Others speak of the makeup of the area, such as International Days, the Greek Festival, Heritage Days and the Castle Valley Pageant. Others show off the communities talents such as the Emery and Carbon County Fairs and the

Helper Arts and Music Festival. And some events are just for fun, such as Elmo Days, Castle Dale Days and Sunnyside Daze. It’s a kaleidoscope of fantastic sights, wonderful venues, outstanding celebra-tions which are full of family fun.

The early white man that came to settle Eastern Utah found the terrain foreboding and hard to exist on, but they weren’t the fi rst to be there. For thousands of years people have sought to live in Eastern Utah. Remnants of the earliest inhabitants are studied by archaeologists in an attempt to determine how these people lived and why they left. The physical remains of these vanished cultures are small; an image carved on stone, a shattered arrowhead, a broken pot, a crumbling wall, but each tells a very important part of a larger story. Eastern Utah was home to four distinct prehistoric cultures. The earliest, the Paleoindian Culture followed the ani-mal herds and hunted near mammoths, Saber Tooth cats and other large game. After the Ice Age ended, the Desert Ar-chaic Culture returned to a hunting and gathering way of life. They traveled in small bands and were the fi rst ones to leave evidence of their lives in rock art. Later the Fremont Culture dominated Utah. Living in permanent villages and farming, the Fremont left behind many

clues to their way of life. Finally, the Ute Culture, a group that still resides in Utah, introduced teepees and migrated with the buffalo to fi nd food for their families. One of the best treasure troves in the world of undisturbed artifacts exists in Range Creek in the eastern part of Emery County. Until a few years ago the canyon was a private ranch that was guarded by a long time ranching family from the area. Today it is owned by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources that originally purchased it to preserve its wildlife habitat, only to fi nd that ancient remains of peoples long gone were in pristine conditions. Over that time archaeologists from the University of Utah and other schools have been working to catalog the sites and to decide what should be done. Hun-dreds of sites have been found, while probably thousands more yet have to be discovered. Range Creek is closely controlled by the state and no unauthorized ve-hicles are allowed in the canyon. The

number of people who visit each day are also restricted. For more informa-tion go to wildlife.utah.gov/index.php and use the search for Range Creek. Overall many archaeologists spend

their summers looking for the evi-dence of the past in Eastern Utah. A past as rich as the fertile farm land and abundant game that drew these ancient people here.

Gallery East on the College of Utah campus is located on the west side of the SAC building. Gallery East is an art gallery that show-cases everything from faculty art to high school student’s creations, with all exhibits running for a month or two at a time. Gallery East operates in conjunc-tion with the art department at CEU and provides an opportunity for students and faculty to have a professional environment in which to exhibit, as well as providing a space for the community of southeast Utah to view a variety of art exhibitions and

other related activities. It provides an environment conducive to innovation and creativity and has been in operation since 1977 maintaining an ongoing program of monthly exhibits; closing each year with a major student show. The gallery exhibits the work of students and faculty, the work of local and regional artists, and the work of national and international contemporary artists which would not otherwise be available.

Recreation galoreWildlife viewing, hiking, biking and more

Biking The biking opportunities available to people in Castle Valley are nearly unlimited. From the desert terrains with buttes and mesas to the mountainous regions with forest trails, biking is a popular recreational activity in the Carbon-Em-ery region. The San Rafael Swell provides excellent fat tire biking opportunities. Miles of gravel roads take cyclists on a trip back in time through the centuries into the land where dinosaurs walked and ancient Native Americans left artwork marks. The 40-mile long Nine Mile Canyon offers bikers challenging altitude changes and breathtaking scenery. Riders should pause a moment to observe the rock art, storage structures and village sites of the ancient Fremont culture. With many side canyons to explore and a well maintained roadway, Nine Mile represents an ideal option for all cyclists.

For riders who prefer the quiet soli-tude of the mountains, the Manti-LaSal National Forest provides hundreds of miles of trails. Near Joes Valley Reservoir, biking trails wind through forests that open up into vast open spaces. But not all the trails are an hour from town. Just to the north of Price excellent bicycle trails lead over the hills and into the cedar and juniper trees. Built by PASS (Price Area Sin-gletrack Society), a local biking club the trails provide all kinds of challenges to those who wish to use them. Maps of the trails are available from PASS (fuzzysbicycleworks.com/clubs.aspx).

Hiking In addition to a wide array of biking opportunities, the San Rafael Swell contains a number of excellent hiking spots for people of all ages and all skill levels, from the novice to experienced backpackers. Younger hikers typically tend to gravitate to narrow slot canyons of

the San Rafael Reef near Goblin Valley State Park. Walkways through the labyrinths wind around vertical slick rock, nar-rowing to tight squeezes in several places. For the more expe-rienced hikers, several trails located in the Swell follow the San Ra-fael River through deep gorges and narrow pas-sageways. Many of these hikes are dangerous and pass through slot can-yons. All hikers should contact local agencies for warnings on such hikes because of the dangers of fl ash fl ooding, particu-larly during the monsoon season during some of the summer months.

Climbing For those with a wild sense of adventure, Castle Country offers many rock climbing opportunities. In the historic ghost town region of Spring Canyon west of Helper, rock climbing enthusiasts will fi nd sheer rock cliffs just right for climbing. At the base of one of these cliffs is evidence of some ancient Fremont rock art. This represents old times mingling with the new. In addition some areas of the San Rafael Swell have been known to be climbing havens as well. Contact the Bureau of Land Management about restrictions on such activities in these areas (blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/price.html).

Wildlife Viewing If you like wildlife, you will love Castle Country! From mule deer to elk, from mountain lion to black bear, Castle Country has it all. The Skyline Drive Scenic Backway gives visitors a close look at migrating raptors. Nine Mile Canyon boasts an elk study range, during the fall months visitors to the canyon may hear the startling call of a trophy elk echo through the canyon. The San Rafael Swell has herds of desert bighorn sheep as well as many different species of reptile including rattlesnakes, collared lizards and blow

snakes. One of the last free-ranging buffalo herds is located on the Henry Mountains south of the San Rafael Swell. Over 200 buffalo make their home here on the desert range. Pronghorn antelope are visible in the San Rafael Swell and along U.S. High-way 6 from Green River to Wellington. Coyotes, rabbits and a multitude of birds are also seen.

Camping Imagine deep forests and clear streams or perhaps bare rock and sweeping vistas. You can have both in Castle Country. With fi ve outstand-ing state parks and thousands of acres of public lands, camping opportuni-ties abound in Eastern Utah and offer something for everyone. The Manti-LaSal National Forest provides excellent wildlife viewing and fi shing as well as hiking. The dramatic San Rafael Swell has remote campsites and lends itself to exploring, river run-ning and mountain biking.

The locals call it the “Swell.” Some other people call it endangered. Others just see it as the marvel it is. Regardless of what one calls it the San Rafael Swell is one of Utah’s fastest growing tourist destinations. 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 sand-stone formations, deep canyons, desert streams, and expansive panoramas.The Swell is a massive maze of winding can-yons, broken fi ns, and multi-hued buttes scattered in a tightly defi ned oblong directly in the heart of Utah. The geological wonder is located between Castle Dale, Green River, Hanksville, and the northern end of Capitol Reef National Park. It was widely unknown until the 1870’s, when Interstate 70 punched through the middle of it. Here millions of years of layered sediment was pushed up into a massive bubble, which then eroded down leaving jagged edges poking up. Wilderness beauty awaits you in the

vast open area of the San Rafael Swell. Whether visitors choose the power of this still untamed land on a bike, on foot, on horseback, by car, in a 4-wheel drive or on an ATV, the grandeur of the high cliffs, deep ravines and magnifi cent mountains will never leave them. Volumes have been published about the Swell but here is a brief overview of some of the signifi cant sights:

Buckhorn Draw and San Rafael Bridge Once the scene of outlaw chases, Buckhorn Draw, a long, steep-walled canyon, is the main northern gateway to the Swell. A canyon highlight is the inter-preted Buckhorn Draw Native American rock art site. These striking fi gures were restored as Emery County’s Utah Centen-nial Project in 1996.

The Wedge OverlookIt provides a striking view of the Little Grand Canyon, the San Rafael River, and the Sid’s Mountain Wilderness Study Area. To protect the fragile resources,

notably an endangered cactus species, use of motorized vehicles and mountain bikes is limited to designated roads and camping is limited to designated sites. To visit the overlook, drive from the town of Cleveland south towards the San Rafael Recreation Site. Continue beyond the Buckhorn Reservoir just over four miles to the water tank at the Buckhorn Flat Well. After passing the tank, go left at the next intersection and continue six miles to the overlook.

Cedar Mountain Recreation Area Cedar Mountain towers over the northern San Rafael Swell and is ideal for getting a “bird’s eye” view. An exhibit at this cliff-top overlook summarizes area geology.

San Rafael Reef and Moroni Slopes The San Rafael Reef, accessible from Highway 24 on unpaved roads, is rela-tively fl at with many areas of low sand dunes. The spectacular San Rafael Reef domi-nates the eastern side of the Swell. Ero-sion has smoothed the jagged, upturned Navajo sandstone face of the reef and cut deep canyons. These canyons are ideal for hiking, scrambling, and exploring.

Head of Sinbad and Swasey’s Cabin Just off I-70, the Head of Sinbad area in-vites camping, hiking, and exploring. The elements have molded the buff colored sandstone into pocketed watchtowers and other fanciful shapes. Members of the Swasey family fi rst grazed livestock in the area in the late 1800’s. Today visitors may see the log cabin they built in 1921.

Hidden Splendor The Hidden Splendor uranium mine was famous in Utah. Originally named the Delta, it was started by Vernon Pick

in 1952. He extracted a million dollars of ore before selling the mine. It closed in 1957 without reaching its estimated po-tential. The site of the old mine is tucked away in a canyon, at the southern end of the Swell.

Hondu Arch and Tomsich Butte Hondu Arch is a large natural opening that rests high above Muddy Creek. The abandoned Dirty Devil uranium mines at Tomsich Butte were started by W. J. Hanret and John Tomsich in 1951. The undeveloped Hondu Arch and Tomsich Butte area is rich in opportunities for hiking, camping, mountain biking and exploring.

Goblin Valley State Park and Little Wild Horse Canyon Goblin Valley is famous for its large collection of fancifully-shaped rock formations.

Keesle Country Keesle Country is a maze of canyons in the southwest corner of the Swell. A short hike or horseback ride into this roadless area will provide an introduction to its primitive character.

Mussentuchit Sand Dunes Although these dunes are relatively small in area, they provide interesting rid-ing for off-highway vehicle enthusiasts.

Temple Mountain Temple Mountain, located to the northwest of Goblin Valley, is the highest point along the San Rafael Reef. This area was once one of the most active mining operations during Utah’s uranium boom days. Although the mines are now long closed, the numerous roads left behind by the miners provide access for off-highway vehicle riders.

The Pioneer MuseumCastle Dale’s museum of Emery County historyCastle Dale’s museum of Emery County history

Pioneers who came to the Castle Country area were a hardy bunch. They had to do with so lit-

tle at times, particu-larly when it came to water. The Pioneer Museum at Castle Dale will grasp your imagi-nation and take you back to ex-plore an era barely re-membered. Filled with displays of early homes,

implements and memorabilia, visi-tors gain insight and understand-ing for people who colonized a wilderness, a treasure for history buffs and antique lovers.

The Emery County Pioneer Museum in Castle Dale focuses on the region with displays of tools, implements and re-creations of an early home, a mercantile store and a lawyer’s offi ce. A visit will give people a sense of what it was like to build farms and communities in the late 1800s and early 1900s. A most popular room in the building (which is an old school house) is a school room set with old desks, writing utensils, maps and of course things like a “dunce” cap. It shows how distanced that kind of learning is from today’s modern facilities. The facility in Castle Dale is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from noon until 4 p.m. It is located just kitty corner from the Museum of the San Rafael. For information, contact the Emery County Pioneer Museum at 435-381-5154.

The John Wesley Powell Museum is a showcase of the trials and tribulations of the expeditions of the man who fi rst traversed the Grand Canyon and the Green River by water along with a number of other brave souls who fol-lowed him. He attempted to explore and record the geology and ge-ography of southeast-ern Utah and northern Arizona and it is all for the visitor to see at the facility located in Green River. Filled with cre-ative displays, and full size replicas of actual boats used to explore the West’s waterways, this mu-seum tells the story of people who sought to chal-lenge a river and live to tell the world. A theater is available for special showings of a multi-media presentation on the river. The museum also has a beautiful art gallery featuring sculptures and paintings by various artists. With the emphasis on

the Green River, its tributaries and the history of its exploration, the facility offers one of the best ways to understand the geology and geography of the Colo-rado Plateau.

There are displays of early river craft, excerpts from journals of early explorers and an excel-lent video presentation. The gift shop at the museum in Green River City houses one of the better selections of guide books and regional histories cur-rently available. From April 1 through Oct. 31, the facility in Green River is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., excluding Sunday.

From Nov. 1 through March 21, the museum’s hours switch to 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. For additional information, interested parties may contact the John Wesley Powell Museum at 435-564-3526 or go to their website at www.jwprhm.com/.

Imagine a trap where hundreds and many thousands of animals died millions of years ago. That kind of a place would be a treasure house for the scientist and laymen alike. Well one doesn’t need to imagine because it ex-ists. As the world’s only known dinosaur predator trap, the Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry preserves the most concentrated collection of Jurassic dinosaur bones found anywhere on earth. Bones of 74 individual dinosaurs have been excavated at the quarry site, with nearly 70 percent of the fossils belonging to the meat eater allosaurus. In total, more than 12,000 bones have been excavated from Cleveland-Lloyd. In addition to fossil beds, the rem-nants of prehistoric stream channels exist in the hills around the quarry site in Emery County. Dinosaur tracks from the stegosaurs, camarasaurs, apatosaurs, diplodocus, camptosaurs, allosaurs and a smaller prehistoric predator were recently discovered along the channels. From one wall hangs a map showing loca-

tions of more than 60 museums around the world that boast Cleveland-Lloyd material. The visitor center also features three wall-mounted dinosaurs. Information about the history of the quarry and the San Rafael Swell is also available. On select days, paleontologists and volunteers can be seen excavating bones or preparing fossilized materials for study.

The quarry is located in the northern part of the San Rafael Swell, 32 miles south of Price. From Price, Castle Valley residents and visitors to the Carbon-Emery area should travel along Utah Highway 10 south to the Cleveland/Elmo turnoff. Motorists should take the Cleve-land-Elmo turnoff and follow the direc-tory signs to the quarry. The last 12 miles to the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur

Nine Mile CanyonThe worlds longest art galleryThe worlds longest art gallery

The old saying goes that “the writing is on the wall” which means something is obvious. But in Nine Mile Canyon, the writing occurs on the wall for many miles, writing and graphics from people long gone. And what it means is not so obvious. Nine Mile Canyon is a step back in time, a mysterious step. The stories of people who lived there centuries ago grace

the walls of sheer cliffs. This canyon, fi lled with the best pictographs and petroglyphs in the west, gives a view of the life of ancient Native Ameri-cans. This unique canyon outside of Wellington, is an international trea-sure. Nine Mile Canyon’s rock art has been featured in National Geographic

Set in a desert landscape of wide open spaces to the east and the snow crested Wasatch Plateau to the west, the North Springs Recreation and Shooting Range is one of Castle Country’s newest attractions. The range which was completed and opened in May of 2007, was the brainchild of a few fi rearms enthu-siasts who brought the dream of a world class shooting exhibition area to fruition. Located about 15 miles south-west of Price, the facility has many venues for those who like fi rearms, no matter what their abilities or age. The long range has 100, 600 and 1000 yard distances with 65 shoot-ing tables and fi ve heaters for the days when the weather is a bit cool. The training range and the public range includes a 50 yard pistol shooting range. At that site there are 32 shooting tables and 12 heaters. The training range has a state-of-the-art electronic tageting sytem

that includes shooting scenarios one would fi nd at a fair or amusement park. A clubhouse at the main facil-ity has three classrooms, offi ces, a kitchen, a lounge and it’s also where the year-round caretaker lives so he can keep the range up and running. One of the most unique features of the entire complex is the Castle Gate Cowboy Town shooting venue. It was designed much like a movie set with 15 false front buildings from which the good and bad boys pop up, and participants can react to. The complex also has a kitchen, meeting area, restrooms and a cov-ered patio from which vistors can observe the action by the cowboy shooters who gravitate there. Soon more shooting venues will be added including a trap and skeet range, a shotgun range, archery and possibly a paintball range. The recreation area also has over 70 dry camp sites.

Utah is an extraordinarily rich state in terms of its archeological past. Native Americans have lived in every part of the state from extremely ancient times, and have left rock art reminders of their presence in all parts of the state. One of the oldest cultures in Utah is the widespread desert culture that had a continuity of basic form for nearly 10,000 years. In Utah this incredibly stable culture persisted until about 500 A.D. when it blended with, grew into, or was replaced by the Fremont Culture. The culture that is characteristically, and almost exclusively Utahn is this Fremont Culture which was fi rst described by Noel Morse in 1931. It is perhaps best represented in the canyons to the east of the Wasatch Mountains from Vernal to the Colorado River, but evidence of it is found all over Utah, except for a small corner in San Juan County. When it appeared is a much debated point, but about 500 A.D., the old hunting and gathering culture gave way to a partly farming culture which included some ideas from the Anasazi farm-ers to the south. Along with many other distinctive characteristics, the Fremont people developed their own art style. This was typifi ed by horned, trapezoidal-bodied anthropomorphs (human-like objects) which seem to have been made everywhere the Fremont people lived. In the more prominent Fremont areas such as Nine Mile Canyon and sites in the San Rafael Swell these are large and have many elaborations such as necklaces, earrings, shields, swords, loin cloths and fancy headdresses. The Fremont people also developed a stylized way of making spirals, zigzags, scorpions, mountain sheep, deer, snakes and hunting scenes. The late Lynn Fausett was born and reared in Price. He is a nationally famous artist who has won local acclaim for his paintings in the lobby of the Price Municipal Building. In 1940, he did the “Barrier Canyon Murals” as a WPA project. There are two separate can-vases. The one on display in the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum is the smaller of two (12 x 22 ft.) and depicts approximately the left hand one-fourth of the great gallery. The other, larger canvas (12 x 80 ft.) hangs in the Utah Museum of Natural History at the Uni-versity of Utah.

Green River State Park Nestled among mature cottonwood trees, lined by the Green River and sur-rounding the Green River State Park campground lies a top-notch par-36 nine-hole golf course. The Green River State Park golf course offers meandering fairways, lakes and traps and is challenging and fun for all levels of golfers. Green River State Park is open all year and reser-vations are accepted from March 15 to Oct. 15. Stay limit is 14 days.

Millsite State Park With a par 36 and nine hole course, this could be one of the most beautiful courses in the west. The course sits at the bottom of magnifi cent desert cliffs, near the Millsite Reservoir. This is a challenging course, but well worth the experience for any golfer. It is unique because the fairways are isolated. The course winds its way down to Millsite Reservoir’s dam and then back up. There are many elevation changes. In May and June water spills from the dam, creating a waterfall and stream that runs along some fairways.

Many college or university museums concen-trate on a single area of study, such as ancient life or biological studies. But at the College of Eastern Utah’s Prehistor-ic Museum, the educational gem of the Canyon-lands recreational area, the exhibits document both the rich paleontological and the archaeologi-cal history of the San Rafael Swell. Lose yourself for a moment in “deep time” exploring the worlds of ancient Utah. The mu-seum is divided into two basic areas: a paleonto-logical side and an pre-historic/archaelogical side. Featured in the Hall of Dinosaurs are true Ju-rassic Park dinosaurs that come from the nearby Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry and eight

marvelous and scientifi cally important dinosaurs from the Lower Cretaceous sediments along the Swell from Ferron to Moab. See the original rap-tor of Jurassic Park, Utahraptor, and understand the need for its vicious claws while seeing the armoured dinosaurs that were its prey. If you are more adventurous, the museum runs a Dino Adventure during the summer for adults interested in digging dinosaurs with the professional staff at the museum. Contact the museum for more information on this event. The Hall of Man features artifacts and displays from the Paleoindian, Archaic, Fremont, and Ute cultures of southeastern Utah. Make a point of seeing the magnifi cent 1,000 year old

clay Fremont fi gurines and ponder their signifi -cance to their creators. In addition, the Hall of Man exhibits the animals of the last Ice Age fea-turing the 11,000 year old Huntington Mammoth discovered near the top of nearby Huntington Canyon. If you are planning a tour of Nine Mile Canyon visit the museum for a preview of the canyon’s rock art and an introduction to its unique history. The Castle Country Regional Information booth is also located in the foyer of the museum. There you can pick up brochures for directions to assure a successful visit to Nine Mile Canyon or other scenic locations in Castle Country.

and many other publications because of its beauty and intensity. Over 1,000 sites have been catalogued to date. Large panels of pictographs and petroglyphs can be found just a few feet from the road. Travelers can wonder at the meaning of the carvings of goats, people, calendars and Indian Gods. Nine Mile Canyon is surrounded by foreboding desert mountains, cactus and brush-fi lled dunes and peaks. The Native Americans, farmers, outlaws and ranchers who dared to live in this canyon have fought every ugly element known to Mother Nature. Only the toughest humans that have lived amid these rocky walls have survived. This untouched wilderness allows travelers to see the rock art created centuries ago in the setting that it was created. The varied styles of rock art and evidence discovered by archeologists show that this canyon has been home to Native American Indians for thousands of years. One Bureau of Land Management archeologist estimated there are at least 10,000 archeological sites in the canyon. The College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum in Price is a good place to begin a journey through Nine Mile Canyon. Advice from locals who know the area, roadside guidebooks and brochures are available there. Nine Mile Canyon is a wilderness area. It is advised that visitors take plenty of food and water, check weather conditions and if possible travel in two vehicles. Nine Mile is an outdoor museum with remarkable examples of Native Ameri-can rock art and remnants of dwellings. The area contains the greatest concentra-tion of rock art in the United States. The rugged, remote canyon begins 20 miles north of Wellington and stretches 40 miles along the northern side of the Book Cliffs. Cottonwood Glen in the canyon offers a rest area with toilets and picnic tables. There is also a ranch in the canyon that offers ameni-ties and camping areas along Nine Mile Creek. Carved and painted on desert rock, the artwork offers clues regarding the lives of Castle Valley’s early inhabitants. Hunting scenes, depictions of numerous animal species and read-ily identifi able human forms etched or painted on the desert cliff faces have managed to survive the ravages of time as well as the elements for thousands of years. Nine Mile Canyon represents the premier spot for viewing, photo-graphing and appreciat-ing rock art. Located approxi-mately 20 miles in the mountains northeast of Wellington, the rock art images gracing the canyon’s cliffs may be viewed from the roadway. Researchers have determined that a signifi cant number of the rock art panels in the Nine Mile area were created by the members of the Fremont culture. The Fremont were an ancient hunting and farming people who lived in the Nine Mile Canyon more than 1,000 years ago.

The Castle Valley Pageant will be presented July 29-31 and, Aug. 3-7 at the pageant site on DesBeeDove Road in Castle Dale. Beginning at 6 p.m. and running until the pageant begins at 8:30 p.m., a Pioneer Village is available for visitors to see fi rst hand how life was for the pioneers. The Castle Valley Pageant is in its 33rd year. The Castle Valley Pageant had been an annual tradition in Emery County dating back to 1978 but two years ago it moved to an every other year format. Montell Seely was the man with a vision when it came to the pageant. He wrote a story to depict the early settlers to Emery County who came from the Sanpete Valley. The settlers were instructed to settle the Castle Valley by Brigham Young, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was the last order or directive he gave before passing away. Montell had passion for bringing the sto-ries of the pioneers to life. He passed away in a tragic accident two years ago, but the pageant lives on because of his vision. Admission is free and the pageant is open to the public.

There is a mysterious place that lies just south of I-70 and north of High-way 24 in Emery County. Peculiar rock formations form the natural wonder of Goblin Valley State Park. It is a hiker’s sight dream, located in Emery County between the cities of Green River and Hanksville off Utah State Route 24. The park features Utah’s skull in the sky, the parade of elephants and dance of the dolls. All of these are unique and enchanting rock sculptures, carved by centuries of abrasion by wind and water. The Goblin Valley, a basin fi lled with hundreds of geologic wonders, is open to the public. Hikers can spend a few hours or an entire day wandering through the goblins and urchins. It is easy to imagine the antics of these chocolate goblins amid balanced rocks, spires and pedestals. February is a perfect time to visit Goblin Valley. Either the valley is dusted with the contrast of white snow on the bright orange sculptures or an early spring will allow hikers to stay and camp in the 21-unit campground. What-ever the weather allows, Goblin Valley in an unforgettable place worth visiting. The state park is open all year and

reservations are accepted from March 15 to Oct. 15. Stays at the park are lim-ited to 14 days. The maximum recreation vehicle length allowed in the Goblin Valley park is set at 30 feet. Camping and day-use fees are required for people plan-ning to visit the park. Goblin Valley has picnicking areas for travelers and a group pavilion. Reserva-tions may be made by calling Utah State Parks and Recreation offi ce in Salt Lake City toll-free 1-800-322-3770. The Salt Lake City offi ce is open Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., excluding state and federal holidays. This area is a photographer’s para-dise, and off-highway enthusiasts will fi nd hundreds of miles of dirt roads to explore. History buffs can discover traces of early Indians, prospectors, miners and ranchers. Facilities at the 3,654-acre park include a campground, observation out-look, culinary water, modern restrooms, hot water showers and a sanitary dump station for trailers and motorhomes. Cowboys searching for cattle fi rst dis-

covered Goblin Valley. Then in the late 1920s, Arthur Chaffi n, owner of the Hite ferry, and two companions were search-ing for an alternative route between Green River and Cainsville. They came to a vantage point about a mile west of Goblin Valley. What they saw was amaz-ing- fi ve buttes and a valley of strange shaped rock formations surrounded by a wall of eroded cliffs. In 1949, Chaffi n returned to the area that he called Mushroom Valley. He spent several days exploring the mysterious valley and photographing its scores of

intricately eroded creatures. Visitors began to fl ow to the valley despite its remoteness. In 1954, it was proposed that Goblin Valley be protected from vandalism. The state of Utah later acquired the property and established Goblin Valley State Reserve. It was of-fi cially designated a state park in 1964. For additional information regarding applicable camping or rental fees and reservations, Castle Valley residents and tourists visiting the Carbon-Emery area may contact the Goblin Valley State Park offi ce in Green River at 435-564-3633.

It’s a Carbon County tradition which begins July 29 and runs through July 31. This celebration commemorates those from many countries that settled the area and continue to live here. The fun begins with a kids parade on Thursday morning and the wave pool open from noon to 7 p.m. Offi cial ceremonies begin Thurs-day at 7:30 pm with the presentation of the fl ags in a touching reminder of the wide divercity of ethnic backgrounds that settled in the county. A youth dance concludes Thursday’s activities. Friday is jammed packed with food, fun and booths in Washington Park and Pioneer Park. Everything from the climb-ing wall to stories that kids will love and live entertainment. Saturday is more of the same kicking off with the Lion’s Club breakfast in the park, followed by a 5K run/walk, pet contest, grand parade and car cruise. More live entertainment, the climbing wall and various athletic compe-titions. Music and dancing in Pioneer Park concludes the activities Saturday evening.

People often ask what the best time of year to visit Castle Country. While every season has it’s charms, the summer with it’s warm breezes, the spring with the fl owers in bloom and the winter when lakes freeze over and make for great ice fi shing, many will say in the fall because the color of the region’s rock formations are com-pounded by the trees and brush that change colors. The mountain regions come alive with vivid reds, oranges and yellows. Photo-graphing these colors can best be done along the scenic byways.
