HANNA - Coming from the Wasatch Front in the summer time, taking the scenic route from Francis and Kamas, Utah following State Road 35 over Wolf Creek Pass and down the mountain to turn left up the North Fork of the Duchesne River you will find the Stoney Sentinel - "Stone Face" - watching over the Uintah Mountains. The Face in the rock with only one good eye guards the valley and hundreds of years of secrets. If you need information to find "Stone face", any local will tell you where it is. But you can always stop at the local Old Mill Gift Shop or the Hanna Store, and someone will be happy to give you directions. Few even know about this remarkable formation, and it remains practically unknown. Lore has it, that Stone Face, a 25-foot-tall rock outcropping that resembles a one eyed man with high cheek bones and a jutting jaw, signaled the route to a lost Spanish gold mine. The legend is that the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes dispatched exploration parties as far north as Utah in search of the Seven Cities of Cibola. In the Uintah Mountains, they supposedly struck god. But after the conquest, the mine lay dormant for centuries until Brigham Young sent Thomas Rhoads to find it. With the help of a Ute Indian chief, who knew the secret location, Rhoads brought forth enough gold to help establish the Mormon empire -- or so the story goes. It is truly a vision of mystery.
