Someone told us about an interesting spot just south of Washington Fields on the Arizona-Utah border, so we decided to take a look. It was a beautiful sunny day and we followed the directions we were given and found it easily. The locals call it the Glitter Mountains. As we neared the site with the sun shining, it was easy to see why. The mounds glittered brightly as we parked our car. It actually is an old pioneer gypsum mine. The gypsum was used for building materials, including early cabin windows. I gathered some up to make bookends.
