Fry Canyon Travel Guide

Fry Canyon is a small community in San Juan County, Utah, USA, located in Fry Canyon, on Utah SR-95 and just south of the White Canyon River. Fry Canyon is a former uranium boom town during the 1950s. The tiny hamlet, almost a ghost town now, is southwest of the Woodenshoe Buttes, and west-northwest of Natural Bridges National Monument.
The uranium mining caused some of the groundwater in Fry Canyon to become reactive. The U.S. Geological Survey (with funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies) installed three permeable reactive barriers, containing three different reactive materials (foamed zero-valent iron (ZVI) pellets, bone charcoal pellets, amorphous ferric oxyhydroxide (AFO) slurry mixed with pea gravel), at the experimental site, which is managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.http://ut.water.usgs.gov/fry/fry.html
