About Grantsville
Grantsville was settled in 1850 on the west side of the Tooele Valley. The Donner-Reed Museum holds items the Donner Party left behind crossing the desert in 1846, and the Clark Historic Farm hosts events through the year.
Grantsville is also the turnoff for South Willow Canyon, where the campgrounds and the Deseret Peak trail are, and the home address of Utah Motorsports Campus. Grantsville Reservoir, just south of town, is a local spot for fishing and paddling.

Good to know
- Tooele County is big. Tooele to Wendover is about 100 miles on I-80, so plan the Salt Flats as its own trip.
- Fill up before you head west or south. There are long stretches with no gas past Grantsville, and none on the Pony Express Trail.
- Cell service drops in the canyons and across the West Desert. Save your directions before you leave town.
- Summer is hot and dry on the valley floor and much cooler in the canyons. Bring more water than you think you need.
