Cove Fort Historic Site
The picture below helps explain why Cove Fort ended up on our itinerary. The Eastern terminus of I-70 is at the Baltimore Beltway, about 15 minutes from my house. Shortly after heading West, you see this big sign with destination mileages. We had looked up Cove Fort and knew it was at the very end of the Interstate in Utah and looked intriguing. We definitely wanted to check it out and were not disappointed. The Fort was built in 1867 as a Mormon way station, to be used by pioneers traveling along the Mormon Corridor. It is now a wonderful museum owned by the Mormon Church depicting the 19th Century life there. Well worth a visit if you are nearby.
