Iosepa (Utah Ghost Town)
Located approximately 75 miles (120 km) southwest of Salt Lake City in Tooele County.
Admission: free
Hours: anytime
Iosepa has a unique history in the colonization of Mormon settlements. Its inhabitants were imported from the Hawaiian Islands. Little did they know their new home would be as different from the lush foliage and fertile soil of the Islands as night is different from day.
In August 1889, a small group of pioneers set about surviving in Skull Valley. Their skin, used to the tropics, cracked in the dry desert air. Thoughts of their distant island homes, of lush blooms and ocean waves, must have pricked at them as they stared across the forbidding valley. Their story is a classic tale of courage and endurance, part of the pioneer tradition that still echoes through the modern American West.
In 1989 President Gordon B. Hinckley, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, dedicated a monument to the memory of those early Iosepa residents for their unique part in Utah history.
Directions:
Northbound
Take I-15 northbound to I-80 Westbound, take exit #77 toward UT-196/Rowley/Dugway, turn left onto Skull Valley Rd and go about 15 miles until you reach Iosepa
Southbound
Take I-15 southbound to I-80 Westbound, take exit #77 toward UT-196/Rowley/Dugway, turn left onto Skull Valley Rd and go about 15 miles until you reach Iosepa

Salt Lake Temple
This Temple is a sacred building constructed by Mormon pioneers. It is a recognized church symbol throughout the world. The Temple is not open to the public. The interior of the building may be viewed in exhibits at the South Visitors Center.
Work on the temple stretched from years to decades until finally, 40 years after it was begun, the temple was completed. Many difficulties slowed the building of the temple. Granite was quarried in Little Cottonwood Canyon, 20 miles southeast of Temple Square, and transported to the site by teams of oxen. A single wagonload required four days of travel to reach the temple site. Today, Latter-day Saints continue to gather in temples throughout the world to worship and participate in sacred ordinances such as eternal marriage.
