Utah is such a great place to explore. This was my ride yesterday to a little old mining town called Ophir. It’s located at the south end of the Oquirrh Mountain. This town was established in 1870 and is considered to be a ghost town by some, though people do live here and there is still some mining done here. It’s about an hour’s drive from Salt Lake City and it’s worth some exploring. Stop, get out the car and walk through Utah history. There is a part of the town that is preserved and it’s a great place to walk about.
If anyone is interested in exploring the many cool places of Utah, I’m available for tours.
