Panoramic Viewpoints
 

  • From the hike there are many panoramic viewpoints. The valley before you is where the construction camps of both railroads were scattered. Junction City was located approximately 2 1/2 miles to the northeast where the paved road below you intersects Highway 83 just across from Thiokol Corporation's Solid Rocket Motor plant.
  • From this vantage point can be seen the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area, Bear River National Wildlife Refuge, Willard Bay Reservoir, and the Great Salt Lake. Across the valley rise the Wasatch Mountains. If you look carefully, you can trace the Central Pacific Railroad grade out across the valley toward Corinne, Utah.
