Bluff Fort Historic Site in Bluff, UT, offers visitors a glimpse into the pioneer life of the 1880s through its meticulously restored original cabins, wagons, and replicas of log cabins and the Meetinghouse. The site, maintained by the Hole in the Rock Foundation, showcases the arduous journey of Mormon pioneers over the Hole-in-the-Rock trail and their settlement in the southeastern Utah region.

Founded as the first Anglo community in southeastern Utah, Bluff City was established in 1880 by Mormon pioneers seeking to establish a mission on the San Juan River. The Hole-in-the-Rock Expedition, considered one of the most extraordinary wagon trips in North America, is commemorated at Bluff Fort, where visitors can explore the history and heritage of the region's early settlers.
