Nearby ski resorts provide ski facilities. Historic Hatch A Traveler's Haven n HATCH The tiny town of Hatch has been hosting travelers since pioneer days when weary travelers would stop to get something some-thing to eat before tackling the road south known in those days as the "divide." Today it is called Sevier Summit, and Hatch on the north, and Glendale on the south, marie its two ends. Traveling the same road today, widened and paved, the winter traveler trav-eler on a stormy, snowy night feels the same warm feeling the early pioneers pi-oneers did as the lights of Hatch greet him and its friendly residents make him welcome. Summer in Hatch means lots of fishing at nearby Asay and Mammoth Mam-moth Creeks and on the Sevier River that passes by town. It means gardens full of healthy vegetables, alfalfa ready for mowing, flowers in ' bloom, and the pink mountains of V Bryce Canyon in the distance. The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Pio-neers maintain a museum in town that tells something of the town's history. It is really worth an hour of the visitor's time. Local shops display handcrafted items for sale that can't be matched anywhere for quality or price and all services are available for the traveler including a few tips on where the fish are biting bit-ing best. |
