Cedar Ghost Town is for train buffs and campers. Little is known about this shanty town located along the Union Pacific Railroad and the eastern edge of the San Rafael Swell. The Utah desert and The Swell, in particular, have an abundant history of old towns lost to time. The meadow along the tracks is littered with debris that has been burned, buried, and wind-blown for a long time. This short looping road can be traveled in a passenger car with durable tires. One large open camping area on a bluff overlooking the valley and train tracks has several fire rings for an overland group. The bend in the tracks is scenic and a wonderful place to enjoy the busy rail traffic.
