Words of Caution
Photographer: Barry Swackhamer
Taken: June 20, 2017
Caption: Words of Caution
Additional Description: The abandoned railroad grade to the west managed by the Salt Lake District of the Bureau of Land Management. Interpretive signs have been installed for your convenience and enjoyment. As you travel west, remember that this country is little changed in the last 150 years or even in the last 10,000 years. The next 90 miles is largely uninhabited. Take plenty of water with you. Tell someone where you are headed and when you plan to return. Four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended.
So that future visitors may enjoy the area as much as you do, please do not disturb any of the historic features on or surrounding the grade. Remember that you will be on private and public lands. Destruction or removal of property is both a discourtesy and a violation of the law.
Please report any problems of violations to: Box Elder County Sheriff, (801) 734-9441, or Bureau of Land Management, (801) 977-4300.
