PANGUITCH QUILT WALK




If you are looking for a great get-away to a small town bursting at the seams with tradition Panguitch Quilt Walk is the event for you....

The story lives on...

The first winter in Panguitch 1864 was brutal. Food was scarce and the settlers were starving. A group of 7 men with a wagon and two oxen set out to get food from Parowan which is 40 miles away. In their weakened state, the men struggled with every footstep sinking up to their hips in the deep snow. Eventually they abonded the wagon and oxen and continued on foot. As they held a prayer circle kneeling on a quilt they discovered the quilt kept them from sinking in the snow. The men completed their journey by laying quilts on the deep snow and walking across them. The story became known as the quilt walk and is treasured in the tiny town of Panuitch Utah.
