➔ All field sessions include a boxed lunch and bus transportation

➔ Casual attire and comfortable walking shoes suggested.

Field Session 1 | Antelope Island State Park

Antelope Island is a Utah state park in the Great Salt Lake, about one hour north of Salt

Lake City. The field session will begin at the park visitor center on the north end of the

island, where the Executive Director of the Friends of the Great Salt Lake will discuss the

natural history and ecology of this unique place.

We’ll then drive south, stopping along the way for views of the lake and abundant wild-

life like waterfowl, bison and pronghorn antelope. Our destination is a historic ranch that

was established in 1848 by the island’s first permanent resident, Fielding Garr, who was

sent to the island by the Mormon Church to oversee the church’s sheep and cattle herds.

We’ll have lunch and then tour the well-preserved ranch buildings, including an 1848

adobe ranch house, bunkhouse, and sheep barn, all the while taking in the spectacular

view across the lake to the Wasatch Mountains. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for

changeable weather.

Field Session 2 | Cast Metal and Local Trails

Part A – Historical Arts & Casting

Salt Lake City is privileged to be the home of Historical Arts & Casting (HACI), one of the

premier ornamental metalcasters in the United States and abroad.

HACI recently collaborated on the restoration of the cast iron dome of the US Capitol in

Washington, DC.

For over forty years, HACI has been actively involved in the design, manufacturing,

installation and restoration of cast metal ornamentation – learn how everything comes

together under one roof.

Part B – Salt Lake City, Crossroads of the West

Many trails in the American West intersected in the Salt Lake Valley. This walking tour

will explore 19th century emigration and settlement through a series of significant sites

in Salt Lake City. Places and information will be related to the California Trail and the

Hastings Cutoff (Donner Party), the Mormon emigration and establishment of the city,

and the Pony Express and transcontinental telegraph. The significance of native tribes and

mountain men will also be considered in this story of intersecting trails.

Note: Downtown Salt Lake City is pedestrian-friendly, but distances shown graphically

on printed guides can be deceptive. City blocks are 1/8 mile in length and the streets

are extra-wide. A 3-block walk in Salt Lake City is equivalent to 5 or 6 blocks in other

towns. Wear comfortable walking shoes and consider carrying a water bottle. And come

prepared for cold, windy weather — we never know what to expect in March here on the

western range of the Rocky Mountains.

Field Session 3 | Salt Lake City Seismic

Building on the seismic paper sessions, this field session will provide in-depth review of

completed and in-progress structural upgrades and seismic mitigation retrofits.

The base isolators, structural upgrades and other aspects of comprehensive restorations

will be viewed at the Utah State Capitol and the Salt Lake City-County Building. The latter

building was the first historic building in the United States to receive a seismic upgrade

using base isolators and is currently receiving additional structural changes.

The Tabernacle on Temple Square will be visited to learn more about the upgrade of this

unique structure and its setting. The field session may also include tours of an in-progress

historic renovation/seismic retrofit of the 1935 library at the University of Utah and other

recent Salt Lake City projects.

Note: While a bus will transport us between sites, this field session will involve sub-

stantial walking and climbing of stairs and some short fixed ladders. Active construction

sites will be visited so personal protective equipment will be required (bring your own if

possible). Rough walking surfaces, dust, snagging surfaces, etc. are likely so please dress

appropriately.
