Utah’s Buffalo Soldier Heritage Trail

Many people have heard of the famed Buffalo Soldier who were stationed in frontier outposts throughout the American West. But often overlooked is their fascinating connection to Utah. Both the 9th cavalry and 24th infantry were stationed in Utah before and after the turn of the century. The stories of these individuals and their impact on locations throughout much of Utah can still be experienced and felt. Helper, Price and Nine Mile Canyon were at the center of much of their story.
