Simpson Springs Images<\/h2>\n

Simpson Springs is named after Captain J. H. Simpson who stopped there in 1858 when he was looking for a mail route from Salt Lake City to California. There was a dependable supply of fresh water from the springs there and it would later become a mail station location No. 87 for the Pony Express<\/span><\/a> and the Overland Express. The Pony Express was only in operation from April 3, 1860 until October 24, 1861.<\/p>\n

In the 1930\u2019s the Civilian Conservation Corps created a camp there, probably because of the availability of a reliable water source which is crucial in the West Desert for people and animals. There are about 20 campsites there going up a hill.<\/p>\n
