Piedmont, Wyoming Charcoal Kilns and Ghost Town

 After our hike of Waterfall Canyon in Ogden, we made our way east through Weber and Echo Canyons and into Wyoming. Near the town of Evanston, we took a detour off the interstate to the Piedmont Charcoal Kilns. The kilns are very photogenic and very interesting. 



They were once located right on the railroad route. However, once the railroad was rerouted, the kilns and nearby community of Piedmont were virtually abandoned. We made the drive from the kilns to the remains of the town and I had a quick look at the buildings there.
