Preparation Canyon State Park is a 344-acre site that was once the town of Preparation. Preparation was established by a Mormon leader and at its peak had sixty-seven houses, a blacksmith shop, a post office, and a skating rink. The town faded by the 1900s and the land was sold to the state over the years. Visitors today will be able to explore the historic site where the Mormons settled so many years ago. Facilities that they currently have include picnicking areas and rentable shelters for groups, secluded campsites, and trails for hiking and biking.
