Delta offers a welcome oasis for travelers before and after the long journey across what has become known as the "Loneliest Highway in the USA."

Delta, Utah is considered the Gateway to the Great Basin National Park.

The Great Basin Museum in town houses exhibits of pioneer farm equipment, mining tools, and home artifacts. A special exhibit of the nearby Topaz Japanese Internment Camp for World War II is especially interesting.

The festival is held the first weekend of March and is a wonderful opportunity to view beautiful white birds.
