The Hermit's Cave was constructed by a man named Bob Stinson. Bob served his
country in World War I. Upon returning home from the war he learned that his
girlfriend left and married another man. Heart broke he decided to travel to
Delta Utah to visit his brother in 1929. While making his way through the
Marjum Pass just 45 miles from Delta Utah; Bob's house on wheels broke down.
Looking for shelter Bob located a small natural cave in the side of a canyon.
By using local rock, he enclosed the front of the cave which is now known as
the Hermit's Cave House, or Hermit's Cabin. Bob was often called the Hermit of
Marjum Pass. The government paid him to keep the pass clear of debris, as it
was at the time the major east/west highway from Delta to Nevada. To earn
extra spending money he trapped bobcats and coyotes, mixed poisons for the
government to kill grasshoppers, and he even raised a handful of sheep. When
Bob would have visitors, out of the greatness of his heart, he would offer
them a glass of home brew. In 1951 Bob lost his road job when the new paved
highway was built several miles to the south. Bob, then in his 70's, moved
into Delta to be near a few more creature comforts. At the age of 80 when Bob
passed away he was cremated and his ashes were spread at the base of the rock
house he built in Marjum Pass. Please protect the Hermit's Cave for many more
generations. Please don't lean on the walls and don't leave your mark in
anyway. Always pack out your trash.

Hermit's Cabin

This WSA is characterized by rugged terrain and steep cliffs. Shrubs and
grasses are the dominant vegetation at lower elevations with pinyon-juniper
woodland at higher elevations. The area is known in Utah and throughout the
country for its beds of Cambrian trilobites. In addition, Council Cave, near
Antelope Peak, has the largest entrance of any cave in Utah, and can be
visible for 50 miles.
