Tropic Ditch
In the 1880's, when the pioneers reached Utah, they found out that the heat was
so much that the rivers dried up in summer, and there was no water for the
year around. So, they spend 2 years digging a ditch that connected a
river to the town of Tropic. This is the result of their work.
I am at a loss as to what motivated them...
These days, a few tourists come here, but mostly, it's a forgotten place.
