The Ute Motel of Vernal
As you can already tell, the Ute Motel of Vernal no longer operates as a motel. It hasn’t functioned as one for decades! The structures are now used by local shops, Ashley’s Trading Post and Arlene’s barber shop.
The Native American statue, installed in 1958 by the University of Utah, remains untouched and stands proud, although the motel sign was changed to Ashley’s Trading Post sign. The entire location still looks somewhat the same, although a lot has changed in the last few decades. Kudos to them for trying as much as possible to preserve as much as they can of the original motel structure.
