Great Basin National Park
From the 13,063-foot summit of Wheeler Peak to the sagebrush-covered foothills, Great Basin National Park hosts a sample of the incredible diversity of the larger Great Basin region. Come and partake of the solitude of the wilderness, walk among ancient bristlecone pines, bask in the darkest of night skies, and explore mysterious subterranean passages. There's a lot more than just desert here.
Bonneville Salt Flats
Imagine the passing thunder of strange vehicles hurtling by on a vast dazzling white plain. This is not an alien world far from earth; it is Utah's famous Bonneville Salt Flats.
Rock Hounding
Amateur and professional rock and fossil hunters in Utah enjoy some of the best rockhounding sites in the country. Topaz Mountain in Utah’s West Desert, for example, is part of Utah’s rich geological history that has left astounding deposits of rocks, minerals, fossils and gemstones across the state. BLM and National Forest lands cover a large percentage of the state and permit free rockhounding in many areas.
Topaz Museum
The mass exile and incarceration of Americans of Japanese ancestry during WWII was one of the worst violations of civil rights against citizens in the history of the United States. The government and the U.S. Army, falsely citing “military necessity,” removed 125,284 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry– about two-thirds were American citizens–from their homes on the West Coast and forced them into ten remote camps controlled by the War Relocation Authority (WRA). There were also other types of detention facilities including male-only camps controlled by the Justice Department. None of the people of Japanese ancestry was ever convicted or even charged with sabotage or espionage, yet they were confined, some up to four years, in camps surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards.
