On my visit to St. George to visit my Mom and Craig, my brother Vic coincided his vacation and we saw some sites together. One interesting day trip was to Pipe Spring, Arizona.
The tiny town was along the "honeymoon trail" where travelers occasionally stopped in pioneer days on their journey between Mexico and St. George, Utah.
A fort was built by the Mormon settlers with the help of Paiute Native Americans. A national monument includes a museum and tour of the fort and grounds where you can learn about the two cultures that lived here a hundred years ago
Where were the springs? The fort was strategically built over them! At the time water came out at 55 gallons a minute, and was very important to desert life here.
