When we visited in March, there were Utah plates in the parking lot. I think it is safe to say that this is a pilgrimage site year-round for devotees of the Morman faith. I am placing my coordinates at the log cabin as the focal point of this site, however, the LDS website (
visit link) discloses that the log cabin is a replica built after the church bought the original 100-acre property in 1930.
