Silver Reef & Leeds, Utah

Silver Reef Utah Ghost Town Leeds Wells Fargo building

I think my family drew sticks to see who would accompany me each day on my explorations. My son won, or was it lost, the day I went to Leeds.

Silver Reef is a great ghost town off I15. They have a nice museum in a Wells Fargo building along with multiple other structures. In 1866 a Nevada prospector discovered silver, the only location in the US where silver was found in sandstone.

I would have explored more but despite feeding my son eggs, sausage, pancakes and fresh fruit an hour before we left, he was convinced I was starving him to death.

We made a quick stop in Leeds at a CCC Camp and an even quicker stop in Harrisburg before headed back to St. George to fill the kid up on yummy Mexican food.
