Range Creek:

Deemed “The Secret Canyon,” Range Creek was hidden from the public for hundreds of years. Range Creek was home to a large number of Fremont Indians who mysteriously disappeared some 800 years ago. The ranch is now owned by the State of Utah and managed by the University of Utah. Come with us to see this untouched treasure.
