Text Box: Things to do in Marysvale near the Paiute Trail You may be asking ‘What is there to do’ once we are Bullion Creekside Retreat for a week…. The world-famous (among ATV enthusiasts) Paiute Trail, and Fremont Trail, Great American Trail and other trails can be accessed directly from the retreat without trailering (The Great American trail system and others are overnighters). There are also plenty of remote areas that can be accessed by passenger automobiles. You can rent ATVs nearby. Marysvale is near the National Forests and high Tushar Mountains which offer great hiking, biking, fishing, mountaineering, photography, sight-seeing, animal watching, bird-watching, and wildflower opportunities. The Escalante loop can be accessed from the cabin as a day trip for great canyoneering and sightseeing. Marysvale is near more National Parks in this part of Utah than any place else in the world. There are also many little-known areas that probably should be national parks. Zion’s Park, Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, Capitol Reef, Lake Powell, and Grand Canyon are the best known areas. When the ladies lose enthusiasm for ATV riding, they can go shopping. Ana also has her art and jewelry in several gifts stores in the area. There is are three great gift stores in Marysvale: Piute Crafts, The Trading Post, and a great little affordable antique store called the Wooden Nickel. There are many historic sites nearby. The Fremont and Anasazi culture museums with their rock art are interesting day trips from the retreat. There is also many historic mining sites and ghost towns relating to the Spanish Trail and Gold Rush days of the Marysvale area. There are gold panning opportunities in some of these areas for those with the desire and know-how. There are fishing opportunities nearby with beautiful stream pools nearby that hold great native Cutthroat Trout. We are sure you will be successful if you fish where we tell you and use the methods we recommend.
