A closeup of the Wasatch Mountain Range from the center of Corinne. . .








. . .same Wasatch Mountain Range, but a widened shot with a better view of how flat the area is leading up to the foothills. . .




. . .a historical marker about the Steamship “City of Corinne”, originally built to compete with the Utah Central Railroad moving cargo and passengers to the south side of the Great Salt Lake in the late 1800s. It was Utah’s first steamship, and built onsite – but it wasn’t successful. . .




. . .more Corinne historical markers -- this one about the town in it's heyday in the late 1800s when there were 1000+ permanent residents and gained the reputation of the 'Dodge City' of Utah (in contrast to the quiet Morman settlements elsewhere in the area). . .






. . .a historical marker speaking of the history of Corinne, Utah and how it was originally laid out when the railroad came through. . .




. . .a scenic view of the Wasatch Mountains across the northern shores of the Great Salt Lake.
