EPHRAIM

Danish heritage required long list of nicknames ROGER BAKER

The old timers around here will tell you that Ephraim has the longest list of nicknames in the known world. It isn’t clear who did the counting or why they counted or exactly what counts as a nickname.

The Guinness Book of World Records seems to ignore this important accomplishment.

In fact, it isn’t even exactly clear what “nick” has to do with “name.” A nick off the ol’ name could be something like a chip off the ol’ block, in which case it has gone on for so long that most of those descended from the founding Ephraim Danes are barely slivers or one-syllable ciphers.

It is probably some Scandinavian thing because the Prince of Denmark himself, Hamlet, used the term.

When he is sending Ophelia to a nunnery he blasts her with a list of accusations like being two-faced and having a speech impediment: “God has given you one face and you make yourselves another: you jig, you amble, and you lisp, and nickname God’s creatures, and make your wantonness your ignorance.”

Notice the Danish Prince (not to be confused with the artist formerly known as Prince) was not saying that nicknaming is a good thing to do. Shakespeare’s Hamlet equated nicknaming with being two-faced. But remember, an Englishman, Shakespeare, is putting the words in the Dane’s mouth.

It may be the English who

think nicknaming is twofaced because for Danes it is necessary.

The fact is that nicknames were necessary among the early Scandinavians of Ephraim because they all had the same name in the first place and were a “son” or “sen” of someone else.

I learned about the limited name choices a quarter century ago when a third generation local Dane confronted me with the facts of life in Ephraim: “There are only three kinds of people here: Sens, Sons, and SOBs. Which are you,” he asked.

I suppose the questioner was really trying to discover my heritage even though the name usually gives it away. Danish heritage counts fo r s o m e t h i n g h e re o f f the Wasatch.

Sanpete County’s Danish born residents made up 24 percent of its population in 1870. The only other Utah town that rivals this number was Mantua in Cache County.

Think of the problems without nicknames to separate out the same names. The bishop announces that Peter Petersen will give the closing prayer and a dozen people begin to make their way to the pulpit.

The bishop sees the rush and quickly says that he meant Pete not Peter, and half the men sit down while another bunch stand up.

Now standing are all the Peter Hansens, Peter Christiansens, Peter Nielsons and Peter Andersons.

With more clarification, “I

meant Pete Peterson,” almost a dozen are still standing.

These include “Lead Pencil” Peterson, “Belly Briggs” Peterson, “Pete Bishop” Peterson, “Pete Davy” Peterson, “Yens Peter” Peterson, “Pete Friday” Peterson, “Pat (Parley)” Peterson, “Little Pete” Peterson and, with a possible point to make for women’s equal rights, “Sarah Fat” Peterson.

And once again “Oluf Coffee Pot” Thursby would have been passed over for a public Sabbath prayer.

Check out the list—at least 200 nicknames for early citizens of Ephraim. And that’s just the list of “prominent” citizens!

Because so many early Ephraim residents had similar Scandinavian names, nicknames were used to identify people.

Here’s a sample: Andrew “Kinikinik” Olsen; Andrew “Ah-Haw” Anderson; Otto “By-yingo” Anderson; “Chris Cellar” Jensen; “Oluf Coffee Pot” Thursby; “Pete Woodenhead” Hansen; “Tossy Pete” Christensen; “Brazilian Blacksmith” Jensen; “Whiskey Larsen”; “Red Whiskers” Olsen; “Bailer Pete” Hansen; and “Mormon Preacher” Nielsen. “ C o p p e r P e te ” H a n sen; “Shingle Pete” Hansen; “Scottie Water-Eye” Louis Christensen; “Bulldog Anderson”; “Absolutely” Mortenson; “Johnnie Buttermilk” Johnson; “Peg Leg Shoemaker”; “Chinaman” Nielsen; and “Soren Chickenheart” Anderson.

Pack these road trip tips (StatePoint) Americans from across the country will be hitting the road for a welldeserved summer vacation.

Summer is the perfect time to say goodbye to airport lines and hello to the great American road trip.

Whether you’re headed somewhere sunny, going camping in a national park, or visiting family or friends in another city, these tips can help you save money and reduce stress while traveling America’s highways and country roads.

Travel off-peak

Savvy planning can help you avoid crowds on the road and at the destinations you visit. For example, hitting the road mid-week after the morning rush hour can help you get a great head start on your travels.

Visit attractions on unpopular days of the week to avoid long lines and annoying surcharges. Many attractions

and hotels charge extra fees on popular travel weekends, like holidays.

This is an especially good year to consider a midweek visit to a national park. With the National Park Service celebrating its centennial this summer, look for special events at parks across the US!

Save on fuel

Whether you’re driving a motor cycle or minivan, tuning up your vehicle before hitting the road can be a smart way to ensure optimal performance and fuel efficiency.

Also, take advantage of fuel savings opportunities. For instance, using an ExxonMobil Smart Card helps drivers save on their fuel expenses.

New customers who apply from May 1 to July 31 will save 12 cents on every gallon of fuel for the first two months after the account is opened. After that, they will enjoy ongoing savings of six cents off every

Make it fun

A road trip is about so much more than the destination. Bust boredom with games like “20 Questions” and “Name that Tune.” Don’t be shy about making small detours to see on-the-way points of interest — it’ll break up the journey and be easier on the driver and passengers alike. Avoid typical disputes by rotating DJ duty. If you bring the right attitude, the old adage “getting there is half the fun,” will be true of your summer road trip.

With a few tips and tricks, you can hit the road headache-free this summer.

This wonderfully unique old edifice is now in its final phase of renovation. Once completed, the Old School will serve as a community center and city office space.

The second floor will include a large ballroom for receptions and community programs, plus art and cultural events, and will serve as the venue for this year’s Art

Randall Lake’s house and studio is one-of-50 of Spring City’s historical structures that have been carefully restored. Purchase a ticket and tour the rest of the beautiful mid-19th century pioneer homes and buildings Saturday, May 28 during the annual Spring City Home Tour.

A Wall of Honor, comprised of engraved plaques, will be displayed as a permanent

show of gratitude to all those who have made substantial contributions to the restoration of this magnificent

Breathtaking views on mountain bike trails

Sanpete County boasts of two top-notch golf courses. Palisade is an 18-hole, 72 par course located in Palisade State Park, Sterling.

Skyline Mountain golf course is a nine-hole, UGA approved course with two certified golf instructors with a new clubhouse and pro shop in Fairview.

Sanpete boasts top-notch golf courses Palisade 18 hole, par 72 golf course measures 6,360 yards from the back tee markers but plays longer because all the par-5s play uphill. However, the golf course will challenge even the most advanced player because of the difficulties encountered around the greens. The mountain layout has an elevation change of 230 feet from 5,885 feet at the base to 6,115 at the top.

Though its expansive undulating greens are truly a test, the greatest challenge may be signature hole number 4.

This 179-yard par-3 has an elevation drop of 70 feet and requires golfers to carry the ball over a canyon, and land it precisely on the green. A ball hit too long will hit into the mountain behind the green and ricochet anywhere.

On the other hand, a ball hit too short will certainly come to rest in the canyon below.

The Salt Lake Tribune has likened this hole to the famous 12th at Augusta National and the Deseret News had it on its “Best Holes” list for 2005.

Clubhouse amenities include golf shop, restaurant, club rental, clothing, equipment, and accessories, food and beverages, private and group lessons, driving range, and cart rental. Tee times may be made seven days in advance.

Views and vistas of the natural surrounding are stunning.

Many golfers use their cameras as much as their clubs. In addition to golf, Palisade State Park offers boating, camping, fishing, hiking, off-highway vehicle access, and a variety of other activities.

Golf professional is Casey Fowles, 435-835-4653.

Have you ever ridden a mountain bike over 50 miles at an altitude of nearly 10,000 feet?

Skyline Drive from Fairview to Mayfield has breathtaking views that will expand your outlook on life. The Skyline Drive area offers single or multi-day adventures.

Be prepared for all types of weather. High elevation; to over 11,000 feet. Vehicle support is recommended. Rating: easy to difficult. Mostly a good dirt road, but there are sections that are worn and rutted from weather and use.

Skyline Drive Mountain Bike Trail Skyline Drive Mountain Bike Trail begins 13 miles east of Fairview on Hwy 31, south of the Sanpete Valley overlook, (N39.61756 W111.31082, elevation 9,786).

It traces the central backbone of the plateau south all the way to Twelve Mile (Mayfield) Canyon.

National Forest Campgrounds can be found all throughout the area. You can access the Skyline Drive from Fairview, Mt. Pleasant, Spring City, Ephraim, Manti, Sterling and Mayfield Canyons.

Primitive backcountry camping is allowed along Skyline Drive which allows you to camp along the trail.

Pioneer Mountain Bike Trail To access the P ioneer Mountain Bike Trail, drive or ride up Ephraim Canyon road approximately 5.4 miles past the end of the pavement (about 1/2 mile past Lake Hill Campground) and you will see a dirt road on the lefthand side of the canyon road, (N39.32633 W111.49604,

elevation 8,392). This is a great place to unload if you have chosen to drive.

From here it is approximately 3/4 mile decent on a primitive road. At this point you will see a small sign on the left that says “Pioneer Trail”. Turning left here will put you on approximately 3 miles of singletrack.

Eventually the trail intersects the main canyon road at either GPS N39.33947 W111.51664 or N39.33698 W111.52119 (parking at the National Forest Boundary).

If you ride down the canyon road approximately 1/2

mile, you can cut off and ride another 3 1/2 miles of singletrack on the famous “Flume” trail. (N39.33766 W111.52684, elevation 6,637).

Flume Mountain Bike Trail To a c c e s s t h e F l u m e Moutain Bike Trail, drive or ride up Ephraim Canyon road approximately 1.2 miles past the end of the pavement.

Turn right off of the canyon road by an A-Frame cabin, (N39.33766 W111.52684, elevation 6,637). This is a good place to unload if you drive.

Ride the road for about 250 yards until you come to an intersection. Here you will see a large pipe sticking vertically out of the ground next to an old canal.

Ride off into the old canal “flume” and follow the single track several miles until it eventually emerges from the junipers in the valley and intersects with Bald Mountain road. From this point it is just a 1/2 mile ride back to the paved Ephraim canyon road. The Flume Trail is fairly steep so make sure your brakes work well.

One of those simple, pleasant discoveries!

Year round, amazing small town charm!

Learn more about small towns around Sanpete County Where in the world did Sanpete County get its name?

It all started when the Ute Chief Wakara invited pioneers to settle the San Pitch valley, named after a tribe of hunter-gatherer Indians.

Wakara claimed that the Great Spirit had appeared to him in a dream, telling him to welcome the white men. Later, Wakara engaged his guests in the infamous “Walker War” from 1853-54. The Black Hawk War, named for another Ute leader, also disrupted county settlement from 1865-68.

Eventually, the San Pitch name was corrupted to Sanpete. Some historians now believe that more than the

agricultural skills Wakara claimed to want for himself and his tribe, he was interested in the cattle that the pioneers seemed to take with them everywhere they went. The county wasn’t the only entity to undergo a name change.

Most of the cities within the county have gone through changes in identity since their founding.

Indianola

Lying at the northeast edge of Thistle Valley, Indianola was organized as a ward and named by Apostle Erastus Snow in 1880. Then it numbered over 100 members-half Indians, half Whites. North

Sanpeters had herded livestock in the valley and even homesteaded there before Brigham Young decided to set up a model Indian farm for Utes not already removed to the Unitah Basin. Eventually the church had to pay $12,000 to induce pioneers to vacate the valley.

Eventually, most of the Utes moved away, died, or simply failed to multiply, so some of the sellers eventually returned to the valley. Most of them lived on their farms rather than locate close to the brick meetinghouse (now a granary) built on the town site.

picturesque cove barely visible from the U.S. 89 scenic overlook near Hilltop. Platted in 1886 on a rocky slope watered by Dry Creek, it was organized as a ward in 1896.

The fair number of sawmills already built in canyons above it sparked the choice of name.

Families began homesteading this herd ground of Fairview as early as 1876, so a majority of Milburner’s never lived in the town itself- loosely clustered around a school, church and stone store/dance hall whose walls still stand.

When Dry Creek turned wet and wiped out the town in 1903, the population spread out even more. Eventually so

many moved away that the church dissolved the ward and transferred the last 33 members to Fairview in 1961. Photo of the Milburn Mercantile Building taken by Pat Johnson.

Freedom

Freedom was settled in 1875 under the name of Draper, which was the name of the families who settled there.

The settlement was located along Current Creek four miles north of Wales. In 1877 the Draper’s and other families formed a ward which was renamed Freedom and lasted until 1881. The arrival of the Martin Van Buren Taylor family eventually required the creation of a new ward in 1897 which lasted until 1926. The orchards, the best in Sanpete, and the Meadow View Creamery kept the small community going. Freedom is the gateway to beautiful Maple Canyon.

Chester

Soon after the homesteading fever hit Sanpete in 1870, polygamists and other farmers from Mt. Pleasant, Moroni and Spring City spread out onto the meadows along the bottomlands of Oak and Canal Creeks below Spring City.

Despite their dispersion they formed a ward (1877) named Chester, shortened by the Post Office from the “Chesterfield” proposed by David Candland, who had immigrated from Chesterfield, England. We must forgive his lack of originality. He was only trying to improve the image of the hamlet from its original name: The Bottoms. A meetinghouse, a school, an Allred store, and a few houses soon sprang up close to the crossroads at the center of town.

Axtell

Settled about 1874 by John Bosshardt, who raised the first barley and alfalfa and Lars Fjeldsted, who ran a co-op heard of sheep, and Axel Finarsen, a Danish bachelor.

The town spread out on an east-west axis along Willow Creek, which was the area’s name until the railroad and post offices arrival in 1891.

The place has an expansive open flavor reminiscent of the Midwest, with irrigated grains and alfalfa sweeping eastward to the foothills of the Wasatch Plateau.

We appreciate your business! Thanks for voting us #1!

Farms and houses are dispersed, as are Axtell’s “central places,” notably the post office and the ward house.

Thus it differs from the typical Mormon village settlement plan. Axteller’s have a keen appreciation of their “peace and quiet” and a sense of “in between” stemming from their county border location. Notable sites include historic and contemporary salt mines in the foothills east and west. Willow Creek Reservoir, a haven for wildlife, is about 5.5 miles east of town behind the foothills, and a graded road continues to Skyline Drive near 10,984-foot Musinia Peak.

Fayette

Settled by five families from Springville who arrived by ox team April 8, 1861. After finding Hog Wallow (Gunnison) too crowded, they backtracked five miles to establish Warm Creek. Three families soon left, but the Joseph Bartholomew and James Mellor families stuck it out and descendants remain today.

One pioneer described the site as a lush meadow paradise abounding in wildlife. Chief Arapeen extracted two fat oxen for ceding the life-giving spring and some calves for the meadowlands. Willow-covered dugouts and wagon boxes first provided shelter, followed by log cabins and later houses of local stone and brick.

Retreats were common and log buildings were moved inside the Gunnison fort during the Blackhawk War of the 1860s.

Apostle Orson Hyde urged the name change to Fayette for the New York town where the LDS Church was organized.

Ghost Towns

Sanpete also has its share of ghost towns. Across the Sanpitch River from Ephraim and against the Sanpitch Mountains is Manasseh, which consisted of 21 families scattered from the borders of Maple Canyon to a point near Wales.

The hollow west of Sterling is where the old town of Pettyville used to be. In 1881, the people of Pettyville moved to Sterling. Dover was founded in 1875 over the hills north of Gunnison and around the point on State Road 28. If you go west of the Sevier River, you might see remnants of farms where Dover once existed.

The ghost town of Clarion, located west of Gunnison, was a settlement of Jewish immigrants, founded in the fall of 1911. They tried to eke a living from the poor, rock-strewn soil with very little resources, and abandoned the site in November 1915.

Liberal Hall restored as museum Liberal Hall, 67 West Main Street, Mt. Pleasant, is significant in the history of both Sanpete County and Mt. Pleasant. The totally-renovated museum was originally built in 1874 by a group of local citizens who were disenchanted with the Mormon faith and wanted a building for their own religious and social activities.

A year later, a Presbyterian minister established a congregation and missionary school at Liberal Hall, which became the base of operations for a network of missionary schools in the territory and foundation of Wasatch Academy.

In the 1990s, Wasatch Academy acquired ownership of Liberal Hall, but was unable to use the building due to its deteriorated condition.

With the help of Certified Local grants, Wasatch Academy undertook a total building rehabilitation, even pursuing a major capitalcampaign.

Liberal Hall was carefully restored as a major landmark on Mt. Pleasant’s Main Street and serves as the museum and cultural center for Wasatch Academy.

Hours are 1-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday or by appointment by calling (435) 462-0415.

You can ride up one canyon, travel along the “Skyline”, and come down another.

Free fishing day June 7 If you’re looking for a fun activity that’s outdoors and close to home, mark June 7 on your calendar.

June 7 will be a great day to take a kid fishing: It’s Free Fishing Day in Utah. You don’t need a fishing license to fish in the state that day.

“Make plans now to take your family out and enjoy a free day of fishing,” says Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources.

Cushing says early June is one of the best times of the year to fish in Utah. Fishing for warm water fish, including bluegill, catfish, white bass and smallmouth and largemouth bass, is just starting to pick up. And trout and other cold water fish are still active and available to catch.

in lakes and reservoirs, so lakes and reservoirs should be good places to fish on June 7.

Utah’s community fishing ponds are another good place to try. Before June 7, catfish that average 18 inches in length will be stocked into the ponds. “Catch one of these cats,” Cushing says, “and you’ll be in for a fun fight.”

Depending on where you live, a community pond might be only a few minutes away. You can learn more about Utah’s community fishing ponds at wildlife.utah.gov/cf.

Cushing says the DWR will keep stocking catfish into the ponds until the temperature cools in the fall. “Then, we’ll place trout in the ponds,” he says.

Some of the best places to fish

Before Free Fishing Day, the DWR will place extra fish in waters across Utah. Most of the fish will be placed

You don’t need a license to fish on June 7, but all of the other rules in the state’s fishing guidebook will still be

in effect.

Cushing encourages you to get a copy of the 2014 Utah Fishing Guidebook and learn the rules. The free guidebook is available at wildlife. utah.gov/guidebooks. Copies are also available at DWR offices and from fishing license agents across Utah.

“If you have any questions,” he says, “please call the nearest DWR office. We’ll be happy to help you out.”

Special events

Several free fishing events will be held on Free Fishing Day. The following are some of the events the DWR will be involved with: EPHRAIM Community Lake A Free Fishing Day event that includes a fishing contest will be held at Community Lake (sometimes called Lake Hill Pond). The lake is in Ephraim Canyon, about five miles

Nothing brings a smile faster on a child’s face then when they catch their first fish. Kids have a chance to learn new skills and have fun too during free fishing day on June 7. east of Ephraim.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. The fishing contest starts at 10 a.m. Food and prizes will be available.

Before the event, the DWR will

stock the pond with trout.

The U.S. Forest Service is sponsoring the event. For more information, call the Sanpete Ranger District office at 435-283-4151.

MANTI

Annual pageant draws record breaking crowds Manti, Sanpete County seat, hosts travelers seeking quiet relaxation and historical reflection. Visitors spend a night or two at quaint bed and breakfasts, or tour the grounds of the historic Manti LDS Temple, built in 1888. Others come for the thrills offered on any of the nearby fishing or ATV, hiking and mountain biking trails.

But in June of each year, Manti takes on new life and excitement when Manti LDS Temple grounds turn into a giant stage, larger than a football field, for the Mormon Miracle Pageant. The town truly comes alive as a cast of over 500 works to combine dance, music, and drama in a unique production for a large audience seated under the canopy of stars. The pageant runs for eight nights, June 16-25, except Sundays and Mondays. This year will mark the 50th year of the pageant.

Each year, the pageant retells the account of the resurrected Jesus Christ visiting the people on the American continents. The dramatization includes Christ healing and teaching the people, as well as blessing the children, just as he did in Jerusalem.

Manti LDS Temple sits on a hill overlooking the Sanpete Valley and is visible for miles around. Temple hill is the scene for the annual Mormon Miracle Pageant held June 16-18, 21-25. The event is open to the public and free to attend.

Time fast-forwards to the 1800s, when farm boy Joseph Smith received and later translated the record of this ancient American people. The record is known today as the Book of Mormon.

concludes with the story of a fictional couple searching for religious truth and enlightenment and the joy they find upon discovering that family relationships can be eternal.

First time pageant-goers will find the following tips useful:

Arrive early for optimum seating.

First-come seating is provided for 14,500 and there is room on the grass for additional spectators.

June evenings can be cool so bring a sweater or blanket. Blankets may be used on chairs but are not allowed in the aisles. The blanket area is now larger.

There are facilities and accommodations for special needs, lost and found, drinking fountains, restrooms, translators. Search and Rescue and emergency personnel are on site.

The pageant is free, but dinner is not. Bring a picnic dinner, or plan to purchase a barbequed turkey or roast beef dinner at the pageant. The tasty meals are reasonably priced and will be served each evening during the pageant at the National Guard Armory, 100 West Union. No food or drink is allowed on the grounds. Manti City Vendor Plaza, 100 East 350 North, will have a variety of food and craft booths.

Plan to stay overnight in Manti the night of the pageant as traffic will be exceptionally congested at the conclusion of the production.

Many visitors find that staying at

a bed and breakfast adds to the experience, providing a unique local perspective, plus great service. Whether choosing a bed and breakfast, hotel, or campground, be sure to make reservations well in advance.

Camping at Manti City Park, 200 North 300 West, is allowed only during pageant on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reservations are not taken. Restroom facilities are available, but no showers. Set up tents or trailers and a camp-fee collector will visit the site to collect.

The park is within walking distance of the temple grounds.

Take some time before or after the pageant to explore the region.

Take scenic drives, rent ATVs, or visit museums, unique boutiques and craftsman shops.

For those not familiar with the story of The Book of Mormon, it may help to learn a bit about its history before attending the pageant. Background information can be obtained from locals or members of the LDS Church or check out a copy of The Book of Mormon from the library in Ephraim, Mt. Pleasant or Manti.

Let’s face it. You’re ready for more speed.

Explore Sanpete’s numerous backcountry trails Sanpete County offers a diverse selection of biking trails, for both the beginner and the advanced rider. The following lists some mountain trails worth exploring. Be sure to follow recommended safety procedures for riding in the backcountry.

Skyline Trail

This is a single or multi-day bike adventure, vehicle support is recommended. This course is rated easy to difficult, it’s 50 miles long, and usually takes 2—3 days to complete.

To begin, head east from the town of Fairview, up Fairview Canyon on UT 31. Continue on UT 31 as it turns south heading toward Huntington Reservoir and Electric Lake (the northern section of Skyline Drive comes in here from the left).

Approximately one mile after the Fairview Lakes overlook, you will come to the Sanpete Valley Overlook, just past the second overlook you will pick up Skyline Drive, also FS Road #150, heading south.

The first part of this route is a roller coaster taking bikers up and down over several good hills. Start out slow as the air is thin up there and some of the climbs will require determination.

Sections of this route can become treacherous due to clay-like mud that can freeze moving bike parts in a matter of minutes.

Wrap around the west flank of North and South Tent Mountain at the top of Canal Canyon before coming to Big and Little Horseshoe, two glacially carved out mountains with summits over 11,000 feet.

Ascending the backside of Big Horseshoe, a distinct geological feature, will provide spectacular views before a great four-mile descent to Horseshoe Flats.

From here continue to roll along until, reaching High op, the highest point on Skyline Drive at 10,897 feet. It’s downhill from here to the turnoff to Ferron Reservoir and camp, or another three miles to the campground at Twelve Mile Flat.

Twelve Mile Canyon Road takes off the plateau to the town of Mayfield.

Josephite Point Loop/ Pete’s Hole This 28-mile loop follows improved dirt roads, unimproved dirt roads and single track taking the intermediate to advanced rider five to six hours to complete.

Start at Pete’s Hole Reservoir heading east from the town of Ephraim on UT 29 as it winds its way up Ephraim Canyon. Continue east on UT 29 as it crosses Skyline Drive, following signs for Joe’s Valley Reservoir.

Approximately 4.5 miles from where rider’s cross Skyline Drive they will come to the turn off for Pete’s Hole Reservoir. Turn here and park at the campground. Plan at least an hour drive to reach the trailhead.

From the south end of the

reservoir pick up the Josephite Point Tail, also FS #109.

The trail will wind its way through meadows, creeks and pine forests taking riders to the overlook.

An awesome view of Joe’s Valley Reservoir and surrounding country is worth the short hike out to the overlook.

This single-track will continue heading south to Mary’s Lake where it turns into a rough dirt road, also FS Road # 041.

Stay on this dirt road, still heading south, for approximately four miles, to an intersection. Go left and stay left as this somewhat better dirt road, still FS # 041 as it bends around and heads north.

After a long descent, riders will come to another intersection, go left again and head to Joe’s Valley Reservoir for a rest and swim.

From the reservoir head west on UT 29, also FS Road #FH8. Now climb up through Whites Dugway, then follow Olsen Canyon drainage, before emerging onto Thistle Flat.

Be looking for the turnoff to the Soup Bowl and Pete’s Hole Reservoir on the left.

Twelve Mile Flat Loop

This loop is a great ride for novice to intermediate riders looking for a scenic backcountry 11 mile ride through one of the highest regions of the Wasatch Plateau.

From the town of Mayfield, head east up Twelvemile Canyon on FS Road #022. Drive approximately 14.5 miles to the start of FS Road #024 on the right-hand side of the road, directly across from the Grove of the Aspen Giants Scenic Area.

For a quick warm-up, ride the one-mile loop through the giant aspens. They are some of the largest and oldest aspens known to exist.

Next, head back out onto the Twelve Mile Canyon Road and pedal for almost three miles up to the intersection with Skyline Drive. Go right, heading south on Skyline Drive, past Twelve Mile Flat Campground.

Huge meadows and the barren knoll of Mt. Baldy will be on the right with an enormous basin that forms the head-waters of Muddy Creek on the left.

Just under three miles from where people turned right onto Skyline Drive, they will see FS Road #151 to Emerald Lake taking off to the left. A few hundred yards beyond the turn off to Emerald Lake a trail branches off the right, dropping down about 500 feet in less than a third of a mile.

This trail will take riders down to Step Flats and FS Road #024. When riders reach the road go right, cruising though the flats while approaching the southwestern flank of Mt. Baldy.

The south fork of Twelve Mile Creek drainage drops away to the west and is traversed by a trail called the Narrows.

Continue heading north on FS Road #024 as it takes riders

the main Manti Canyon Road.

From here it is just another mile back to the campground.

Burnt Hill Loop

COURTESY OF JASON STEPHENSON

Biking and hiking trails through the backcountry in Sanpete County offer a diversity of scenery and difficulty levels. Go prepared with water and a snack and enjoy. around the west side of Mt. Baldy, eventually intersecting the main canyon road where riders started.

White Ledges/Dan Henry

This three hour, 15 mile ride for intermediate to advanced riders begins at Palisade State Park and follows Six Mile Canyon to the trailhead for Dan Henry Trail, also FS Trail #095, just two miles from the park on the right.

In about one mile riders will cross the forest service boundary. Continue up Six Mile Canyon to encounter the Harmon Tail crossing the road. Keep pushing uphill for another 2.5 miles to the trailhead for the White Ledges Trail, also FS Trail #088, and be prepared to a single-track descent that is steep and sometimes rough.

Riders will be riding south and west toward the ledges.

Soon they will come to an intersection where the trail forks. The White Ledges Trail continues down to the right and the Dan Henry Trail forks to the left.

Go to the left onto the Dan Henry Trail, also FS Trail #095. The Harmon Trail will come in from the right approximately two miles from where the trail forked. Take the Harmon Trail out onto the main canyon road and follow it down or stay on the Dan Henry Trail for another two miles to where it eventually hits the canyon road below.

Once riders are on the main road they can ride down to Palisade State Park where they began.

Beaver Creek/Clear Creek Loop This route is a challenge for intermediate to advanced riders in good physical shape. It’s 21 miles long, although it is possible to shuttle to the top to avoid the climb. This is an ATV route, so be prepared to yield to the right.

From Mayfield, pedal up Twelve Mile Canyon Road, also FS Road #022. Approximately 5.5 miles from town the Beaver Creek Road, also FS Road #029, takes off on the right hand side of the road. Go onto this road bearing right again where it forks in just under a mile. In another two miles the road forks again.

The left fork will take riders to Woods Lake. Stay right,

onto FS Road #159, and continue heading south, down into the drainage, across the creek and up onto the ridge.

Reach the ridge and head east, toward Porcupine Knoll.

A short loop to the southeast of the knoll will take riders out to the start of the Balsam Grove Ridge Trail, FS Trail #127.

This great, sometimes wild, single track that heads back down into Twelve Mile Canyon that may be too much of a temptation for some.

Mary’s Nipple (10,984’), one of the higher points on the plateau, rises to the southeast. Another mile beyond the knoll and bear right again, heading down the Clear Creek Drainage.

You may also want to explore down Olsen Canyon Trail which you’ll pass taking off to your left as you begin the steepest part of the descent.

This trail comes out just above Mayfield in Twelvemile Canyon. Continue heading down Clear Creek Canyon, following the trail as it crisscrosses over the stream. When bikers emerge onto the main canyon road, go left and head back to Mayfield.

North Fork Manti Canyon

This trail is rated for intermediate to advanced riders who will travel 15 miles and while riders must be in good physical condition, not much technical skill is required.

The trail starts at the Manti Community Campground, approximately five miles up Manti Canyon from town.

Climb on a graded dirt road for almost 5 miles before reaching Skyline Drive. This climb is 3,000 feet in five miles.

For bikers who aren’t up to the climb, they may want to shuttle or drop off a the point where Manti Canyon Road meets Skyline Drive.

Once on Skyline Drive, go left, heading north. There elevation here is 10,000 to 10,500 feet. Pass Jet Fox Reservoir at 2.5 miles from the starting point on Skyline Drive and in another half mile bikers will come to the turn-off for Lowry’s Fork and Logger Fork Reservoir, also FS Road #046.

Go left on this road and bear left at the fork in he road.

The right fork will take riders to Loggers Fork Reservoir.

Descending steeply for just under two miles bikers will come to the North Fork Trail, also FS Road #046. Go left again, following this drainage down to where it meets

This ride is for intermediate riders and will take three to four hours to traverse the 17 mile ride. However, a shuttle can be taken to the start of Thistle Flat Road to eliminate the climb.

From Manti start climbing up Manti Canyon. Pedal this gradual grade for 7.5 miles gaining 2,500 feet in elevation. At this point the Thistle Flat Road, also FS Road #193 takes off on the right hand side of the road.

Go onto this road heading west as the trail wraps around the south side of Burnt Hill.

Just under three miles from where riders picked up Thistle Flat Road, they will come to the Patton Trail taking off on their right. This is a rough trail and recommended for hiking only.

Continue onward to Patton Reservoir. Cross the top of Birch Canyon and Funks Canyon before intersecting the Manti Sheep Trail, about 2.5 miles beyond the reservoir.

Once bikers reach the sheep trail the route begins to descend rather steeply.

Certain sections of loose rock will rattle bones and nerves so walking those sections may be a good choice.

Drop down into the valley just south of Manti as ending this ride.

New Canyon/Cane Valley Loop Another trail for intermediate peddlers which is 16 miles and again, shuttling to the top will eliminate the climb.

From the town of Ephraim, begin heading up Ephraim Canyon. Just under three miles from town, FS Road #039 forks off to the left and heads up New Canyon. Climbing more steeply now, reach the turn off for New Canyon Reservoir in approximately four miles. This is the highest point in the ride.

From the reservoir, head north on FS Road #278, the Hell Hole Ridge Road, and roll along for one mile before picking up the Pigeon Creek Driveway Trail, a single-track also listed as FS Trail #074.

This trail branches off the Hell Hole Ridge Road to the left just over a mile from the reservoir. The trail first heads northwest following the Horseshoe Ditch before dropping down into Cane Valley and heading west to where it ends at Snow College.

The Horseshoes

This is a great trail for hiking or an out and back trail for novice to intermediate bikers looking for a 10 mile ride taking two to three hours.

The best way to access the West Sanpete Trail, also FS Trail #090, is from the town of Ephraim. Drive up Ephraim Canyon all the way to Skyline Drive. Go left and drive for approximately another eight miles to the West Sanpete Trailhead where it is located on the left-hand side of the road.

Begin hiking by wrapping around the ridge and into the basin of the glacially carved Big Horseshoe. People will lose very little elevation as they follow the contour of the slope as it wraps around into the basin of Little Horseshoe.

Intersect the Pigeon Creek Driveway Trail in just under five miles. Take this trail heading up to Skyline Drive and follow Skyline drive back to the starting point or return back via the trail.

Sanpete Valley Loop Road

This ride is for novice and intermediate riders, yearround, covering 38 miles and taking about four hours.

From the town of Mt. Pleasant, head south on US 89. Bear left onto UT 117 to Spring City about one mile out of town.

Follow UT 117 as it heads west through Chester to the small hamlet of Wales.

From Wales head north on UT 30 as it parallels the San Pitch Mountain, to the town of Fountain Green.

From Fountain Green turn around and head south on UT 132 to the town of Moroni.

From Moroni, head east on UT 116 back to the town of Mt. Pleasant where the ride began.

Powerhouse Loop

This ride is for advanced riders as it takes four to five hours and covers 22 miles. A shuttle up to Skyline Drive will eliminate the climb making the ride shorter and easier.

From Spring City head east up Oak Creek Canyon on FS Road #036. Continue to climb on that road, gaining over 4,000 feet in just under nine miles, to where it intersects with Skyline Drive and ride south for approximately three miles to the Canal Canyon Trail, also FS Trail #058.

Make sure helmets are on tight and prepare for a fast and sometimes wild descent. Go right onto this trail and follow it as it heads south across the top of the drainage to Poulson Ridge.

The trail follows the ridge for approximately 2.5 miles before hitting the Canal Canyon Road, also FS Road #339.

As bikers emerge from the canyon bear right onto the canal road that heads north back into town.

Maple Canyon

A hiking trail for novice to intermediate hikers looking for a three mile hike taking one to two hours to complete. There are other routes to explore in this canyon, so be prepared and take plenty of water.

From Maple Canyon Campground head north up the Right Fork of Maple Canyon.

Follow the route as it makes a loop, connecting with the Middle Fork Trail about midway up.

Go left onto the Middle Fork Trail to get back to the campground or go right, further up into the drainage. In one-half mile, hikers will intersect the Skyline Trail, also FS Road #069, where they can go left, hiking south for approximately 1.5 miles to the top of the Left Fork Trail. Go right, down this trail to return to Maple Canyon Campground.

On any given weekend climbers of all abilities, ranging from novice to expert, can be seen testing their skills.

Maple Canyon has more than 550 routes with climbing grades from 5.4 to 5.14 in difficulty. Routes are easily accessed from the road and various hiking trails. View routes in Google Earth.

Maple Canyon is a cool place to climb in the summer heat due to the shade of the narrow canyons. Rock in the canyon consists of cobblestone-sized conglomerate that has eroded to form cliffs and an impressive natural arch. The arch can be found along the Middle Fork trail, which begins at the campground.

The canyon is rated one of the top locations in the world for rock climbing. The reason for this is that Maple Canyon offers such diverse climbing opportunities to match any climbing skill. The rock walls are filled with thousands of imbedded cobblestones, which makes every climb in this canyon unique.

The canyon offers hundreds of established climbing routes that range from walls less then 10 feet high to hundreds of feet and for those more advanced climbers there are several large over hangs and offers several other activities such as hiking, ATV trails, camping, picnicking and more.

Located less then one mile up Maple Canyon is the Box Canyon hiking trail. This trail leads into a narrow canyon where the rock walls will tower hundreds of feet overhead. Every corner of this hike offers unique features such as flora growing out of the rock surfaces, small and large caves in the canyon walls and rock walls overhanging the trail below.

Maple Canyon campground offers 13 campsites with fire rings, grills, tables and pit toilet restrooms. This campground offers no electricity, water or sewer hookups. At the end of the Maple Canyon campground are two large parking areas with a marked trailhead. This trail leads to the Huge Cave, along with several other established climbing routes such as Toxic Potatoes, Deliverance and Dang Awesome.

Huge Cave however may very well be one of the largest natural caves you will ever see, hence the name Huge Cave.

The trailhead for Huge Cave is located approx 1.8 miles up Maple Canyon; there are two areas to park at the end of the Maple Canyon Campground.

The trailhead is located on the left hand side of the road. This trail is not marked Huge Cave but has a sign listing the Right Fork, Middle Fork and View

Point trails.

The start of the trail is relatively flat with trails leading off; these trails lead to the several established climbing routes that are available up this canyon. To enter the cave you must climb approximately 15 feet up a rock wall, someone has left a rope to assist you. If you are not comfortable with

heights, or not sure of your ability, don’t attempt this climb. A fall will land you on the rocks below and could easily cause serious injury.

Before you climb up to this cave keep in mind one thing — what goes up must come down, and for some reason going down seemed more challenging, mentally

and physically. Be sure you know your skill level before attempting this climb and as always, keep this wonderful natural resource clean.

The campground marks the end of the improved canyon road and this is where an ATV comes in handy. The Maple Canyon / Log Canyon ATV Trail Loop is a 34-mile loop.

This trail offers beautiful views of Maple Canyon from above, and leads you through thick pine and aspen forests on the way back down.

For rock climbers this is the place, for everyone else this is still a place to visit, hike and just take in the beautiful rock formations and scenery this canyon has to offer. And for those not skilled in rock climbing, just sit back and enjoy watching others as they negotiate their way up the canyon walls.

Maple Canyon also has various ice climbing routes during the winter months. In past years, winter access to Maple Canyon has been difficult because the road has not been plowed.

Since December 2010, the road has been cleared to the Forest Boundary- as conditions permit. The road, however, may not be open for a few days after a storm. Be prepared for a hike if the road is not open.

Driving directions: From Salt Lake City take I-15 South to Nephi. At Nephi take exit 225 to Manti/Ephraim. Travel on Highway 132 to Fountain Green. Once you enter the town you will see a sign for Maple canyon. Turn right on 400 South and travel approx six miles to Freedom Road.

From this point just following the signs.

EPHRAIM

Scandinavian Days celebrates 40 years The 2016 Scandinavian Heritage Festival is set for Friday and Saturday, May 27-28, Memorial Weekend in Ephraim.

Upon arrival, people can go to the information booth located at 150 East 100 North, for all questions and answers and to pick up a printed guide for the festival.

The annual event welcomes visitors from all around to come enjoy the traditional festivities. About 650,000 Utahns trace their ancestry to Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Iceland.

Like us, many are descended from 19th Century Scandinavian converts to the LDS Church.

The festival begins Friday at 10 a.m., in the Huntsman Library auditorium at Snow College with the Scandinavian Heritage Conference, a free educational event. The conference talks are scheduled for 10 and 11 a.m.

From Friday Noon through Saturday at dusk, the festival grounds on the north side of the Snow College campus and at Pioneer Park, 50 North 100 West, will buzz with costumes, dancing, storytelling, entertainment, historical tours, craft and food booths and more.

The Little Gourmet Scandinavian Dinner, will be served Friday at 6 p.m. at the Greenwood Student Center at Snow College. No reservations are required.

Storytelling

In the cold, dark winters of old Scandinavia, storytellers were held in high esteem because of their ability to spin tales of adventure, romance, and war providing a welcome diversion from everyday tasks. Eager listeners stared into the flames while images of magical conquests swept through their minds and inflamed their imaginations.

Over time, electronic entertainments seem to have shuffled

Many children dress in traditional Scandinavian fashion for the Annual Scandinavian Festival which is held May 27 and May 28, over Memorial Day weekend. storytellers off to the pages of history books, except for special events such as Ephraim’s Scandinavian Heritage Festival.

Drawing on the old and cherished tradition of storyteller Hans Christian Andersen, storytelling has expanded to include pioneer stories and other folktales from various tellers who love the craft.

This year, 14 storytellers; Josh Peterson, Beth Hughes, Katelyn Allred, Emily Frishknecht, Kyler Nelson, MHS Improv Team, Michael and Shirley Bahlmann, Barrett Haughton, Enoch Eddy, Bethany Clark, Sydney Howell, Aubreigh McGregor and Birkley Ross, will let go & share historical information.

To learn more, call the festival information line, Ephraim City at 435-283-4631.

Saturday, May 28

The annual Fun Run will begin

the fun-filled day with registration starting at 6 a.m., at 50 East 100 North. Pre-register online at scandinavianfestival.org. If runners don’t meet the deadline, they can register on-site.

There’s a lot of events this day so be sure to stop by the Ephraim Co-op, 96 North Main Street, to start the day off with an appetizing breakfast.

The Lions Club Aebleskiver breakfast will be available from 8 to 10 a.m., in a pavilion located in the parking lot behind the Ephraim Co-op.

Reserve a good spot to watch the parade at 10 a.m., on Main Street then take a stroll to the Ephraim Co-op to view the beautiful handmade quilts displayed on the top floor.

Throughout this eventful day, there will be lots of entertainment, good food, bus tours, and activities for children and much, much more. Most entertainment events take place on the Snow College Main Stage or on the Heritage Plaza stage.

Pioneer Heritage Reenactments

Pioneer Heritage Company will show festivalgoers how the pioneers lived, worked and played. Come to Snow College 100 East 100 North for two days of reenactments that should give modern day folk a glimpse into the pioneer way of life. See how pioneers cooked historic Scandinavian recipes over an open fire. Then, stick around for demonstrations on period sewing, woodworking, and listen to some good old-fashioned pioneer storytelling. The kids should have fun participating in pioneer children’s games and activities. The reenactments and demonstrations go from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

Quilt Show

The Scandinavian Heritage Festival’s Quilt Expo will be held upstairs at the Ephraim Co-op Building at

96 North Main Street on Friday and Saturday, from 10 a.m.—6 p.m. The expo includes quilts from local artists, particularly quilts that exemplify Ephraim’s Scandinavian or pioneer heritage. For information about entering a quilt, call Marcia Christensen, 435-283-2212.

Quilt show features a Mormon pioneer handicraft kept alive by today’s aficionados.

A patchwork of quilts is expected to show up at the Scandinavian Festival Quilt Show; hand sewn, machine sewn, appliqued, pieced or perhaps even antique.

The show at the Ephraim Co-op, 96 North. Main Street, will show off a pioneer handicraft that hobbyists and artists alike keep alive in the present day. Quilts will be shown Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Many quilters are people who like to sit down, be with others and work together on puzzles, said quilt show coordinator Marcia Christensen.

“We’ve always said quilting is kind of crazy, you take some nice material and take it apart into pieces, and then you put it back together again.”

Local quilting groups, like the Mountain Valley Quilting Group in Gunnison, the Horseshoe Mountain and Stitchin’ Sisters groups in Ephraim, and Quilt Keepers in Wales, will all contribute quilts to the show, but others are invited to bring their works in as well.

Antique quilts that may have been in the family for years are also welcome, as are quilts by young or first-time quilters, and quilted projects other than blankets. But tied or kit quilts are not encouraged, Christensen said.

The show will not be judged, but visitors may vote for their favorite quilts.

To show a quilt, bring it to the co-op by Thursday between

10:00 a.m. and 12 p.m. Quilt show organizers will attempt to show all works brought in depending on available space. For more information call Marcia Christensen.

Annual Grand Parade

One of the Scandinavian Heritage Festival’s highlights is the annual parade, which will take place this year beginning at 10 a.m. The parade route follows Main Street from 300 South to College Avenue (100 North), where it turns west for one block. Ephraim City anticipates that this year’s parade will be very fun and interesting for all participants and spectators alike. The parade will give an opportunity to reflect upon the Scandinavian heritage of this part of the country. Each year the parade is well attended with local residents as well as may visitors who come for the weekend. Families, businesses, organizations or for that matter, anyone, mavw y enter the parade. Candy is okay. There is no entry fee, but you must pre-register online: www.scandinavianfestival. org/parade. On the day of the parade, entries are required to check in at the corner of 300 South 50 East and will line up on 300 South on the east side of Main Street starting at 9 a.m.

For further information about the parade, contact Thomas Peterson at 435-668-2068 or parade@scandinavianfestival.org.

Live Your Legacy Celebration

Beginning at 7:30 p.m., at the Manti High School Football Field, Lieutenant Governor Spencer Cox will be the keynote speaker and the children and youth of Sanpete County will sing, dance and perform. A special honor and commemoration will be the Veterans of Sanpete Tribute climaxing with fireworks sponsored by the Ephraim City and Scandinavian Festival.

Spring City Plein Air competition and artist studio tour brings artists and visitors flocking into the Sanpete valley to paint in the open air and to enjoy camaraderie, share ideas or just take in the magnificent scenery and appreciate the talents of others.

Plein air is a French expression which means “in the open air” and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors, which is also called peinture sur le motif, “painting on the ground” in French.

The scenic, pastoral rural landscape of Sanpete County

is dotted with sheep, cattle, horse and agricultural farms as well as historic cities and is known for its beautiful countryside of farmlands, majestic mountains and wonderful blue skies. Additionally, Spring City is a National Historic District, where dozens of 1800s Pioneer homes and buildings are located in a rural city setting.

This is huge fodder for artist’s imagine and they may paint anywhere in Sanpete County; its cities, farms, mountains and streams and of course Spring City. Possible scenes include historic streets

and structures, pastoral vistas, mountain and stream scenes, landscapes and agricultural subjects. Professional artists may turn in up to five completed, framed and readyto-be-hung artworks. All traditional plein air painting mediums are acceptable, but work must be done “en plein air” without the assistance of photography.
