Veyo is located at the base of a dormant volcano cone and is well known for its bakery that sells pie by the slice. Since we were on a diet, we just ate one slice and ordered one slice to go.
A few miles up the road from Veyo is Baker Dam Campground and reservoir. There is a beautiful little stream at the base of the dam and an abundance of wildlife around the reservoir.
Pine Valley is located in Dixie National Forest at an altitude of over 6,500 feet; thus, the mountains were still covered with snow and it was coooold!
The historic Pine Valley Ward Chapel was designed by shipbuilder Ebenezer Bryce in 1868 in the shape of an upside-down ship. The Chapel is the oldest LDS Chapel in the world in continuous use. Just down the street from the Chapel is the Pine Valley Heritage Center, but it is only open during the summer months.
Adjacent to the Pine Valley Reservoir is a campground that is specifically designed for campers with horses. Each campsite contains a separate corral and a hitching post. However, the only campers we encountered were a herd of deer.
Just off State Route 18 South of Enterprise is the Mountain Meadows Massacre site. There are a number of monuments around the area, but the main memorial is on a hill overlooking the meadows and a large rock monument is located in the meadow where the pioneers were camped.
