Views of Notch Peak from all around the base of the Sawtooth
Mountain.
To get to Amasa Basin, drive west for about 50 miles down Highway
6-50 from Delta, Utah. Turn north or right at the 'U-Dig Fossils'
or Death Canyon turn. Continue north until you reach Marjum
Canyon Road, turn west or left. Follow this road until you see
a large black mound on the right or north side of the road called
Knells Knob. Turn left or southwest down North Canyon to Amasa
Basin.
