If you’re planning a visit to Utah and want to get out of Salt Lake City, or if you’re looking for an awesome stay-cation destination, might I suggest a visit to the Golden Spike National Monument? Live out your inner-child’s dream and get up close and personal with a couple of ginormous replica steam locomotives! History of the Golden Spike What I can remember, however, are the feelings of patriotism, nostalgia, and historical significance, even at a young age ( think grade school-aged). My first visit to see the Golden Spike happened so long ago, I can hardly remember the details. Whatever the case, a visit would be a dream come true for lovers of history, trains, and all things Americana. The Golden Spike National Monument is a place that Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory would love to visit. We’re here! We finally made it to The Golden Spike National Monument and now I have to use the restroom. Are those the trains? I can’t tell for a while because like an oasis, driving through rolling hills can often play tricks on the mind and make your eyes see things that aren’t really there. After yet another climb, we finally flatten out into a lush valley (well, lush for northern Utah) and I can see something in the distance: colorful dots on the horizon next to a small building. We’ve been driving for what seems like hours, climbing over hills, overtaking the occasional semi truck, heading into the middle of seemingly nowhere.
