Recently I've been experiencing that old archaeology/ghost town/hiking bug. This is fine, except for two things: I don't really know where to go (that I haven't been to before), and it's been bad weather on days (ie today) when I could go and do something (OK, third thing, I'd like to have someone to go with, too).
So, just barely I started to create a list of places that I'd like to explore in Utah. I've realized that a lot of these places aren't quite so close that I could visit them in an afternoon after work, so if you've got any suggestions for places to see that are, you know, closer, I'd love to have them! I am, however, pretty much open to any and all suggestions. My only requirement for this list is that all the sites have to be in UT*.
These sites are in no particular order, other than that in which I thought of them:
- Mountain Meadows
- St. George Temple Quarry
- Milltown
- Silver Reef Cemetery
- Cascade Falls
- Mammoth Cave
- Calf Creek Falls
- Cedar Mesa
- Simpson Springs Station
- Red Cliffs Recreation Site Ruins (Felix, this is near where you almost drowned!)
- Fort Pearce (Petroglyphs)
- Nine Mile Canyon
- Buckhorn Wash Rock Art
- Sego Canyon
- Potash Road Rock Art
- Kane Gulch
- Mule Canyon
- Butler Wash
- Sand Island Petroglyphs
- Newspaper Rock
- Hovenweep
- Frisco Cemetery (I have been to Frisco, but we never found the cemetery. I have since contacted someone that's been to the cemetery, and they've told me how to get there. Need 4-wheel drive, most likely.)
Volunteers for tour guides/explorations buddies are also being accepted. Just sayin'.

*We're counting the Arizona Strip as part of Utah here.
