The Uintah Mountains of Northeaster Utah are one of the most scenic places in North America and said to be a prime destination for wilderness hikers, backpackers, and sportsmen. It also attracts gold seekers due to its history of being a source of gold deposits for both the ancient Aztecs and the early Spanish explorers, who enslaved many of the local Ute Indians and forced them into laboring in the mines. When the Mormons settled in Salt Lake City, 100 miles west of the Uintahs, they learned from a Ute Chief of the location of a rich mine in those mountains, but only if a pact could be made and kept that only one man could know the location. The secret to the location died with the descendants of the man who made that pact- and only a very few Utes know of its location. Legend has it they still guard it, and those who get too close don't come out alive.
