Six towns in six miles: The story of Spring Canyon - ETV News

CARBON COUNTY — At first glance, Spring Canyon seems quiet, with nothing but nature all around. However, dive a little deeper and you’ll notice some remains of a past that once was — this canyon comes alive with the rich history of six coal towns that thrived in the 1900s. In the late 1800s...

That tour looked like a fantastic opportunity learn more about the canyon. Would anyone be interested in doing something like that in Spring Canyon if I helped line up some of those historians for a visit this next summer?

Yessir!

Scott Wheeler does a neat job with those. I've not seen them in person or had the chance to meet him yet but they are quite large format.

Alright, I’m making some good inroads with the group that hosted this as well as Scott Wheeler, the gent that does the neat then/now pictures. Turns out he is a friend of a friend (anderson750 for those that know Paul on RME) and he’s actually having lunch with him today. Thinking something in May/June would work for that area/elevation as we’ll really be stuck to the main Spring Canyon road. We can camp on BLM land to the south, in the canyon or on my land.
