Silver Reef, UT


Being an frequent driver of the I-15 in Utah, I cross a sign directing me to Silver Reef a million times. I always think about stopping to explore this so called Silver Reef but never end up doing so. Took about 21 years to get to this point, but I finally stopped. The town is located about 10 minutes off the freeway. Not much is left but the remnants of a few stone buildings. One building has been restored and stands as a museum for Silver Reef. This building use to be the Wells Fargo Bank of the now abandon town of Silver Reef.

The photograph above is an HDR image of the Wells Fargo building.

Other adventures of the day included:

Hiking down a 30 ft cliff with a large format view camera (30 lbs) and all of my digital gear (15 lbs) . There was part of an old mill built into the cliff that I was standing on and I wanted to capture an image from a lower perspective. Did I mention that I drug my little sister along with me--she not as adventurous as I.
