There's still an old stage coach trail that leads into Granite, as well as many other reminders scattered around this area, showing glimpses of the hard lives that these early westerners lived. The original cemetery is nearby, with lots of notable markers. There are very few permanent residents in this town, so you could almost have an entire "ghost town" to yourself.
