Ghost Towns of Utah 

More to come soon!

Thank you for sharing!

That’s great to hear.

Ill see what I can do!

Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely go check it out

Very interesting! It’s on my radar so thanks for sharing!!

Wow sounds fun!

@historyunexplored5312 It was a lot of fun, actually. Several times, I had to get out of the truck and decide the best approach around the narrow, hairpin turns, trying to keep at least three wheels with traction. It was a relief to see car headlights in the distance heading towards Stockton.

Glad you enjoy it!

I wouldn't know if i wasn't looking for it!

Yeah that’s so common with a lot of the ghost towns in Utah. It always blows my mind with how big the towns are. I’ll absolutely check out those other spots

I believe Lark wasn’t actually buried by the tailings. Lark housed around 800 people at its peak but the mines that the residents were working on dried up. Kennecot eventually bought the land and it now serves as a parking lot for employees that work in the pit. Thank you for mentioning Lark!!!

It is about a few northern Utah ghost towns

Yes I did haha. Working on reworking my ghost town videos

You may be correct.

It is pronounced Merr-Kurr. But really no factor. I was born in Park City, my family immigrated to Park City from Denmark in 1879. I have one great uncle living just outside of town but he is the last of our family there. My immediate family left in 1980 as the town started to become a weekend stop for the wealthy out of staters who loved skiing. I remember Park City when most of the houses where still old miners homes and the mountains still were covered with trees not ski runs, resorts, and condos/mansions. I despise what has happened to that section of the Wasatch Mountains because they were BEAUTIFUL. The trout fishing was great in the streams around the the city too, but I digress. My family spent years working in the mines in and around PC. Hearing my grandpa and great uncle’s speaking of mining in my youth sparked my interest in mining history in Utah. In my teens we traveled through the state to the different ghosts towns and I saw so much history and learned much history. My family also had weekend homes (old miner houses) in Eureka Utah. I spent a lot of time there learning about that area. Unfortunately much of what I saw around the state at the old mining towns has been taken by time now. When I went to college I studied geology and went into the mining industry based upon my travels done in my youth around the state. Utah is full of amazing history, it is nice to see you addressing that, nice video! I have lived in Oregon now for 30 years and miss Utah’s ghost towns dearly. Thanks for the stirring of old memories.
