Photograph the Ghost Town of Grafton

Itinerary tips

• 1Budget approximately 60 to 90 minutes to explore the cemetery, the schoolhouse, and the remaining homesteads.
• 2Access the site via a short drive on a well-graded dirt road off UT-9 in Rockville, which is accessible for most passenger vehicles.
• 3Bring a wide-angle lens to capture the historic structures against the backdrop of the Zion canyon walls.
• 4Respect the 'no interior access' signs, as the buildings are fragile and managed by a preservation heritage project.
• 5Pack plenty of water and sun protection, as the site offers very little shade and no public facilities or restrooms.
• 6Check the weather before heading out, as the dirt access road can become impassable and muddy during heavy monsoon rains.
