The history within reach

• Bryce Canyon19 mi

  Not a canyon but an eroding amphitheatre of hoodoos, carved by frost wedging rather than a river, the rim freezes and thaws about 170 nights a year.

• Zion, the canyon under thirty feet across47 mi

  A gorge half a mile deep and at its narrowest under thirty feet across, cut by a river that still moves a million tons of rock a year.

• Frisco63 mi

  The Horn Silver mine made Frisco one of the wildest camps in the West, the sheriff hired to tame it is said to have shot several men his first night.

• Silver Reef64 mi

  The place that broke a rule of geology: silver in sandstone, which experts said could not happen, in a reef the Mormons around it largely refused to mine.

• Short Creek, the polygamist town on the state line65 mi

  The polygamous FLDS community on the Arizona-Utah line was raided by Arizona in 1953 and led in the 2000s by Warren Jeffs, now serving life..
