OVERNIGHT # 24 FREMONT INDIAN STATE PARK CABIN

 Hi,  The canyon along what is now Interstate 70 near Sevier Utah, was home to one of the largest communities of Fremont Indians ever discovered. The Fremont Indian State Park and Museum is a place where you can learn about the artifacts, petroglyphs and pictographs made by the Fremont Indians between 700 and 1300 years ago. The museum houses the artifacts of a sprawling village. In 1983 it was discovered during the construction of Interstate 70.

This State Park has 2 campgrounds and we were in the Sam Stowe campground. We stayed in one of their 2 cabins. Other options are 7 RV sites with full hook-ups, a group area, or a pithouse, so visitors can experience a small taste of Fremont life.

Here are some pictures of the area around  our cabin. 

The other campground is Castlerock Campground with 31 campsites including 2 teepees.

There are more than 10 trails at this park for exploring rock art, geological formations, pinyon and juniper colored mountains or canyon views.

There is a trailhead that provides access to over 700 miles of connected OHV trails.

The Centennial Picnic area offers a shady spot to eat with views of Clear Creek and access to one of the trails. The area includes picnic tables, fire rings, water , shade and restrooms. There is a cabin here that was moved from Junction Utah. The Census records show it was inhabited by Joe Lott with his wife and 6 children during early 1880s.

LAZY CAMPING MEAL IDEA: Combine 1 package ready pasta (fully cooked), one jar of alfredo pasta sauce and one individual package of green peas. Heat in microwave or in a pan. We had this with some chicken nuggets that we cooked at home before our trip.

Have a Good Day and Night,
