fruita utah
This significant town was established in the 1890's by the Mormons. How they got there must have been a huge achievement, as there are these overwhelming monoliths everywhere. The weather was extremely windy, hot and dry in the summers. Many people died making this journey to the west. Across the street is the old schoolhouse, where (legend has it) there sat some unusually, unruly children, which caused the school teacher to quit. In 1955, the town was abandoned and then became part of Capitol Reef National Park.
