Logan Canyon Scenic Byway
Sinks Winter Sports Trailhead, UT

Located just four miles past the Beaver Junction, this area is a popular snowmobile and ski recreation spot. In the early 1870s, it was a hot-bed of mining activity, flaunting big-time names such as the Lucky Bill Lode, the Utah Queen, and the inevitable Last Chance. Even local women tried their hand at seeking buried treasure. The mines usually produced galena, which contains lead, gold, silver and copper. Most of the mining excitement died down by 1893, but the Amazon Mine continued until 1970.

This area got its name from the many sinkholes found here. Sink holes are created when the earth's crust collapses into caverns created by the slow, seeping, dissolving action of water on limestone bedrock. The second-lowest temperature ever recorded in the lower 48 states, 68.3 degrees below zero, was recorded in one of these depressions, named "Peter's Sink."
