EXPLORING A GHOST TOWN

It's been several years since we've driven out to Grafton. It's on the way to Zion Park, but  you have to take a road near the end of Main Street in Rockville that say Bridge Street or 200 East. Then it's about 5 miles over an historic bridge pass several homesteads then eventually to a dirt road. Finally you are there at Grafton settled in 1859 then deserted years later because of flooding and lack of accessibility to larger towns. Amazing step back in history of early Utah.

Went looking for autumn leaves but too early for that.
