I just got back from a four day backpacking trip at Coyote Gulch with four of my siblings. On our way there we passed through our old hometown of Spring City. My family moved here in 1983.
This the view of Horseshoe Mountain from where we used to live. We weren't actually in Spring City proper, but a mile or so out of town.
Our friends, the Sopers, renovated this beautiful house. I think they're trying to sell it now.
They've been working on renovating this old school for years. I remember we once had a Halloween activity where we sat in the foyer of the school and watched the original Night of the Living Dead. Very creepy in that building with the peeling walls and eerie shadows.
I always loved this painted billboard.
Right next to the gas station is this monument where you can actually drink the spring water.
Here's the old Bishop's Storehouse.
I didn't appreciate how cool this chapel was while I attended there. It's over a century old.
Here's one of the many restored homes. Every may they have a historic home tour where you can go and see inside.
This is Joe Bennion's pottery shop. They made a documentary about him and his life creating pottery for a living in the early 90's.
Forbes recently listed Spring City as one of the nation's prettiest towns. I sure didn't think so growing up there as a teenager in the 80's, but driving through there I would agree, it is beautiful.
