We stopped in looking for information about Nine Mile Canyon. The folks here were unbelievably helpful, pointing out a number of places in the canyon that most visitors miss. (Thanks, guys...we found them, and wow!!) They have an excellent selection of books on local history and, for our purposes, Utah rock art. I saw some beautiful jewelry which I would have loved to spend more time checking out. They also have tours which sounded worthwhile, including haunted Price cemetery tours for the month of Halloween. (Because honestly, Halloween really lasts all month these days.) We were exhausted or we'd have signed up for one of the tours ourselves. More people should stop in here when they are in town. They'd find all kinds of things to do that they might never have known about. Very highly recommended!

This museum has a high level collection on paleontology and native american finds. The displays are excellent and a joy for the visitor. We've been to similar musea in Denver, Salt Lake City and Bozeman to name a few. This museum in Price is a gem that is only limited by it size. We heard they only can show a part of their collection. We would love to see more. This was our third visit to this museum and we were glad we made it going up from Moab to Salt Lake City.

Desert Wave Pool is a fun, safe environment to enjoy all year. Ride the waves in ten minute intervals. Can you master the indoor aqua climbing wall?
