"An expansive desert three hours northwest of Salt Lake City, this park is a couple hundred acres in size where, as Brian Phillips notes, you can’t walk two hundred yards without stepping on a crystal. You’re pretty exposed out there, so bring water, and focus on ridge lines or other exposed spots to find the good stuff. Most of the booty here is quartz, including clear varieties as well as “smokies,” with plenty of necklace-sized pieces you can spot just walking around—and friends have dug some up that are probably 5 inches diameter and 10 inches in length." - Todd Plummer
