DUTCH JOHN RESORT

The area received its name from John Honselena, often mispronounced "Hunslinger", who was actually a native of Sheiswig, Germany. He raised horses and had a summer camp and cabin near the Summit Springs Guard Station. He used winter range on the east side of the Green River in what was known as "Joe's Pasture". His headquarters was along the river in Red Canyon and his range spilled over into the area now called Dutch John Flat or Dutch John Bench...
