About 10 miles up Logan Canyon, on the right-hand fork road, is the trail leading to the site where Old Ephraim, the legendary grizzly, was killed. A granite monument marks the site. His skull sits under glass in USU's Merrill Library Special Collection.

About 5.2 miles up the canyon is the parking area for the popular Wind Cave. Over time, wind and water have created in the limestone wall a delicate triple arch and natural cave. There are actually several caves here, part of a triple-arch formation belonging to the China Wall rock area on the slope of Logan Canyon. Hardware Ranch, an elk sanctuary, is located 15 miles east of Hyrum in Blacksmith Fork Canyon.

Davis County

Along with Antelope Island, there are other well-known places like the Farmington Bay Bird Refuge on the shore of the Great Salt Lake, which is popular with bikers, waterfowl hunters and birdwatchers. There are more than 200 species of birds that have been documented there, everything from white pelicans to horned grebes.

As with all of the communities along the Wasatch Front, there are access points to the popular Bonneville Shoreline Trail, which is the waterline for old Lake Bonneville and runs along the mountain range at an elevation of around 5,200 feet. The Mueller Park loop is one of the more popular trails along the Wasatch Front with hikers and bikers. The 13.5-mile loop starts at the picnic area, goes to North Canyon and then returns to the park.

The S & S Railroad Park and Museum in Farmington started as a hobby and is now a working railroad with 11,000 feet of 7 1/2-gauge track and 5,000 feet of 24-gauge rail, with more than 90 engines and cars and a full-size replica of a 1920s Union Pacific Freight Station. There are more than 20 miniature trains that are large enough for people to ride.

Daggett County

This is one of the most frequently visited areas of the state, mainly because of Flaming Gorge Reservoir and the popular Green River.

The 90-mile reservoir, with more than 350 miles of shoreline, offers summer activities such as water skiing, swimming and fishing. In areas around the reservoir, there are biking, hiking and ATV trails, along with ample opportunities to view wildlife.

The area is also rich in history, dating back to the very beginning of the earth all the way to early visits by pioneers and mountain men. Paleo Indians, Fremont culture people and Ute and Shoshoni Indians have all called the area home. The drive from Vernal to Flaming Gorge is a race through time. It's called "Drive Through the Ages," and there is a special brochure available at locations in Vernal that tells of the formations, groups and ages.
