Simpson Springs is the River Bed Pony Express Station, which lies
on the floor of the ancient Sevier River that drained from the area
of Garfield County into Lake Bonneville. The river route was changed
after a lava flow altered the river’s course into the Delta
and Sevier Lake area. Because of flash flooding in the area, little
evidence of the station remains. According to Pony Express folklore,
this site was difficult to man because of its reputation of being
regularly visited by desert spirits.
