Fodor's Review:

The Helper area—in particular the area around Spring Canyon—probably holds the state's best concentration of ghost towns. Spring Canyon Road winds past the remnants of several, including the towns of Spring Canyon, Standardville, Latuda, and Mutual. While most of the buildings are slowly crumbling back into dust, you can still see some foundations, and if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of "The White Lady"—a ghostly figure rumored to haunt the Latuda mine office. You can get a map of all the ghost towns in the Helper area at the Western Mining & Railroad Museum's information desk.
