Camping at Simpson Springs along the Pony Express Trail. This part of the trail travels through the vast west desert of Utah and into Nevada. The Pony Express used Simpson Springs as a way-station along the route. It was also the site of a Civilian Conservation Corps Camp established in the 1930's.


Spent a lot of time plinking cans with my son. Utah's west desert is primarily BLM land and open to the public, target shooting is a common activity out here.



We day-tripped out to Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge, a 10,000 acre oasis of lakes and marshland located in a remote corner of the Great Salt Lake desert. The waterways of the refuge are fed by five large fresh-water springs that emerge from the base of the mountain.
