Mineral Mountains

Mineral Mountains

Precious Gems and MineralsThe Mineral Mountains are the largest exposed mass of solidified molten rock in Utah. A renowned rockhounding area, the range is also one of the richest in minerals, with collectors often finding amazing gemstones in the region. Area mines yield spectacular chunks of smoky quartz, opal, pyrite, gold, silver, obsidian and blue beryl — one of the world's most prized gems. The famed purple opal site on the range's western flank gives up astounding specimens with vibrant colors and patterns. Meanwhile, museum-quality specimens of azurite and malachite speckle old mine dumps in the southern part of the range.Adventure Hiking in the MineralsDesignated hiking trails are rare in the Minerals' rocky wilderness. Instead, modern-day explorers follow old wagon tracks still visible from the 19th-century mining boom as well as ancient paths once used by native inhabitants. Summiting Granite Peak and other noteworthy mountains requires careful navigation, cross-country hiking and scrambling over rock outcrops. The rewards are plentiful — sublime views of Ramblers' landscape, excellent hiking and often, no one else on the trails. But, outdoor enthusiasts need to be prepared with the proper gear (and honest about their abilities) before embarking on the ambitious hikes in this region. Off-trail hikers, especially, need to be skilled with a map and compass or a GPS unit and carry the Ten Essentials, including emergency shelter, extra clothes and plenty of water in their packs.

Beaver Canyon Scenic Byways

Beaver Canyon Scenic Byways

Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway is a 17-mile section of Utah Highway 153 heading east out of the town of Beaver into the Tushar Mountains of Fishlake National Forest. This is a beautiful, forested area with many streams and lakes. There are a lot of old mine dumps and ghost towns in the area, too, so rockhounds can have quite the party in these woods. Just one thing: This route is a relentless uphill climb from the western desert of Utah into the high mountains. Figure on taking probably 45 minutes to reach the upper end of the scenic byway at Eagle Point Ski Resort, a four-season resort at the foot of Mount Holly and Delano Peak.This is a National Forest Scenic Byway and there are several campgrounds and trail heads along the route. Fishing in the streams and reservoirs of Fishlake National Forest is also excellent. Winter sees most of the trails in these woods turn into cross-country skiing and snowmobiling trails.
