Amazing Earthfest provides an opportunity to explore and play on our wildlands	4.5.2021	The Wilderness Society
Image: I"ll let you in on a secret. There is a way for your family to experience the best of southern Utah and northern Arizona and all you have to do is get there. Yup, no need to develop a plan for how to spend your days, others have done that planning for you! Every year, the Amazing Earthfest takes place the third week in May and offers a sample of the rich cultural and natural world surrounding the area of Kanab, Utah. May 13 is the kickoff date for the 6th annual festival. Last year, I participated in a group hike within the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument that took us through the stunning Paria Canyon and to an incredible sea of color on a picture-perfect day. Contrast the oranges, yellows and whites of the Navajo sandstone with the deep red of Indian paintbrush in bloom, the unending blue in the sky and the greenish-grayish-brownish in the desert grasses and forbes all around. Afterward, I enjoyed a mouthwatering meal at the Rocking V Café and then walked ...

by Brian Maffly The Salt Lake Tribune Published Jun 18, 2013 07:21PM MDT Utah Gov.

Wharton: Selfish reasons to oppose Nevada water deal	18.6.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Tom Wharton The Salt Lake Tribune Published Jun 18, 2013 12:29PM MDT Most of us are selfish. We view the world through a prism of what helps us get through life. I thought about this recently when reading a story about how Utah water barons such as Washington County Water Conservancy District general manager Ron Thompson are critical of Gov. Gary Herbert for vetoing a water-sharing agreement with Nevada over underground water in Snake Valley that straddles the two states. The veto concerns Thompson because of fears that Nevada water barons will make it more diffi... ...

Canyonlands National Park • Of all the adventures we set off for on The Utah Bucket List, there was only one that had me a little anxious/nervous.

by Mike Gorrell The Salt Lake Tribune Published Jun 15, 2013 12:12PM MDT The search is on to find a suitable new home for the Hoberman Arch.

by Steven Oberbeck The Salt Lake Tribune Published Jun 13, 2013 08:53PM MDT Depending upon who is talking, Zions Bank either received numerous warnings from the Federal Trade Commission, bank regulators and even its own employees that over a period of several years it was involved with dubious Internet merchants ripping off consumers — or there were few concrete signs anything was amiss. The Utah-based bank and its Modern Payments subsidiary are defendants in a proposed class-action lawsuit in Pennsylvania that seeks to represent several hundred thousand mostly elderly ... ...
