Here are the meanings of the clues released in the treasure hunt, provided by the Bank of Utah:

Clue 1: It’s time for our riddles, what a feast this shall be. It’s got so much flavor to fill you with glee. To begin, find the giants that bookend a city. You’ll know you’re on track when it gets grid-y.

• This clue was meant to get you to the right county.
• Giants that bookend a city = Wasatch mountains and Oquirrh mountains bookend Salt Lake City/Valley, which gets you to the main Salt Lake County.
• Grid-y = Salt Lake and many of the surrounding cities are based on a grid system.
• Flavor = Hinting toward salt.
• Feast/glee = Start hinting to the trails that are very food themed and the color yellow is often associated with happiness/glee.

Clue 2: Take a break. Grab a CUban with Thomas and Henry.
Rest for a spell, where black hoppers stand sentry.
Echoes of the past still linger in view,
Enough to dig into what’s coming to you.

• This clue gets you to the city of Herriman.
• CUban = CU is copper on the element table and Cuban sandwiches have ham on them which helps you get to the Bingham Copper mine which is near Herriman.
• Thomas and Henry = Henry Herriman and Thomas Butterfield were among the first to settle Herriman.
• Black hoppers/echoes of the past = The only remnants of Fort Herriman are two black locust trees that stand near the entry to the old fort.
• TREE = Acrostic poem hidden in the line so the first letter of each stanza spells TREE as a subtle hint at what the “hoppers” mean.
• Dig = Another hint toward the copper mine.

Clue 6: Set your sights East for a watchful eye, be sure to find it and not pass it by. Look into its soul to find a formation, go up to its cave and start the celebration.

• This was our keyword cipher clue. By using the keyword at the branch you could decode this message. Typically with keyword ciphers you place the keyword at the start of the alphabet to create a substitution alphabet. This creates a secret code by rearranging the alphabet based on the chosen keyword. If we’d dropped our other clues, by this time, you would be in Yellow Fork Canyon on Butter Knife trail.
• Set your sights East for a watchful eye = On the east side of the trail is a unique rock formation with a hole in the middle of it. The hole looks a bit like an eye.
• Look into its soul to find the formation = If you put your eye up against the hole and look through it there is a perfect pile of rocks just in sight.
• Go up to its cave = Within the pile of rocks is a small cave-like hole. If you reach in the wallet is within reach.
