Ghost Town Century
Saturday May 5, 2012
Join us on a fun ride through some of Utah’s historical Ghost Towns of Yesteryear. This is the perfect ride to start the season. Mostly flat country with some rolling hills, little traffic, the Pony Express trail, and awe inspiring vistas. Keep a watchful eye and you may even see some old miners off in the distance. Keen ears may hear the faint notes of bugles from old Camp Floyd, which was the largest military installation in the United States & the third largest city in Utah, or hear the creak and moan of wagons along the old Mormon Wagon Train trail. Come, join the ranks of past Ghost Town Riders!
