Paul Bunyan’s Woodpile is a natural geological formation that formed about 30 million years ago, when a lava flow cooled and created what looks like lava logs. These lava logs are about a foot in diameter with some measuring up to 15 feet in length. The logs are neatly stacked like a massive wood pile.
The Tintic Train Tunnel is unique because it’s a family friendly way to experience Utah’s mining past. Sometimes referred to as the Elberta Slant Railroad Tunnel, this tunnel extends more than 200 feet. It was created near the town of Elberta to make way for the Tintic Range Railway. While many mining rails were dedicated to coal, this one actually helped bring valuable silver from the area’s mines.
