The Waste Wilderness National Historic Trail connects the California and Pony Express Trails, following the last miles of the routes taken by trucks which delivered 40,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel to the center of the Skull Valley Goshute Reservation in Northwestern Utah for permanent storage. Individual trucks carried consecutive loads of waste from major nuclear energy producers around the country over a period of eight years, from 2006-2014, comprising a vast network of nuclear trails which converges at this point. The burial of nuclear waste beneath this land dictates a new relationship between you and the land, one in which you are neither servant nor master but rather a nuclear tourist of a land too polluted for human use, a zone of exclusion, a waste wilderness. Those native to this 30 square mile plot of land have since disappeared, leaving the area inhabited by nothing except death. Visitors are encourgaed to hike the perimeter, climb the walls and enter the tunnels, but it is strictly prohibited to cross into the wilderness itself.
