Volcanoes in Utah
At some time in the future there will be a big earthquake in Utah. Most likely several. If dreams and visions of some are to be believed, there will be a big earthquake at one point and some time later (could be months or years) an even larger earthquake will strike.
According to Hector Sosa, Jr., before the first big earthquake there will be a two-day sign. He believes that sign will be volcanic activity in Utah.
From Hector's forum on his site he states:

There are some definite lava fields you drive through on the way to south, but I'm not recalling much tell-tale sign of volcanic activity along the Wasatch Front. Not saying there isn't, I'm just not aware of it.
I know when I worked at Beaver High Adventure Base years ago that there were all kinds of volcanic rocks in the mountain tops. And the nearby canyon, surrounded by several mountain peaks, had the look of a very ancient, and extinct, caldera. That area isn't on the map of the above site.
There are definite indicators of volcanic-related activity along the Wasatch Fault. There are a number of hot springs and the "crater" at Midway are a few.
Black Rock Volcano, west of Kanosh, Utah is the closest listed volcano to the Wasatch Fault. But it's not on the official fault. (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Black+Rock+Volcano/@38.8070644,-112.5041266,29363m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x874b492c3da3b47b:0x9faa610de4d11c61!8m2!3d38.8063555!4d-112.4843846)
If I remember right, the Black Rock Volcano is the youngest and probably the more likely to have activity in the near future.
The southern end of the Wasatch Fault is about Levan or Fayette, depending on what source you read.
There is the Santa Clara volcano near St. George, but that's not even close to the Wasatch.

From Hector's forum on his site he states:
"Here are two criteria to know if it is indeed the 2 Day Sign:I'm not aware of many volcanoes in Utah, and most of those are in the southern part of the state.
"1. You won't need to ask if that was it. If you are asking, then it isn't it.
"2. There have been more details given. The actual sign is a dormant cinder cone coming alive and spewing ash somewhere along the Wasatch Fault. Once that happens we are on the clock for 48 hours."

There are also lava tubes a little further west and north of Black Rock Volcano, although the tubes were likely formed by the Wah Wah Springs supervolcano, which is in south-central Utah, going towards the Nevada border. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/02/08/super-volcano-under-southern-utah-30-times-larger-than-yellowstone/4700460002/
North of the lava tubes and west of Holden is the Pahvant Butte, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pahvant_Butte, which was formed by a now dormant volcano. But this is also not on the Wasatch Fault.
The closest volcano I can find to the Wasatch Fault is the Fumarole Butte which is a shield volcano in west Juab county (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fumarole_Butte).
While these volcanoes may not be on the Wasatch Fault, most of them are within the Intermountain Seismic Belt.
It will be interesting to see what happens, and how events unfold, over the next several years.
