Keep Driving…is this the ‘STRANGEST TOWN’ in Utah??
There's nothing like a roadtrip.
The Mountain Dew.
The beef jerky.
The beefing in the van.
Some say that they'd rather drive for 15 hours to a destination instead of taking a two and a half hour flight. I'm with those people. Because once you add up the time to go to the airport, wait in the terminal, go through security, get felt up by TSA etc...isn't it better to just hop in the Caravan?
Well, part of the joy of roadtripping is running into towns you'd never have seen otherwise. And there are several of these types of towns in Utah.
In fact, a Redditor recently asked: "What is the strangest town in Utah?"
Here are some of the answers they got.

"Ophir. It’s tucked up a canyon, and both times I went through I felt like everybody was watching me."
Ophir, UT
Sounds like there's some ghosts in Ophir.
I've never been but it's out in the mountains by Cedar Valley, west of Provo.

"Look at Hilldale on Zillow. Crazy houses for sale, a lot of them being marketed as group-living or inpatient rehab type places because a lot of them have like 15 master bedrooms."
Hildale, UT
Hildale is where Warren Jeffs lived I believe. It's on the Utah side of the border and Colorado City is on the Arizona side.
Somebody else said:
"Anybody heard of Eureka? The cemetery has most of the population and the town has very limited access to technology still 😂 to my knowledge they JUST got access to the internet like 5 years ago."
Eureka, UT
Another ghost town type place.
Let us know if you have a different pick for strangest town in Utah!
