Reparadise: Cranking Out Off-The-Grid Rigs

September 15, 2020 by Claire McArthur Leave a Comment

  For more than eight years, Brandon Zinninger and his team at Reparadise in West Valley City have been turning camper trailers — usually vintage Airstreams — into high-tech custom homes on wheels.  But as the market has fluctuated — as well as the interests of Zinninger and his crew — Reparadise has found themselves spending more time in the shop crafting unique … [Read more...]

Whitewater Rafting Through Cataract Canyon

August 26, 2020 by Claire McArthur Leave a Comment

As we plunge through the roiling waters of Big Drop 3, a class IV rapid on the Colorado River’s path through Cataract Canyon in Southern Utah, I find myself repeating the same thought over and over while whiteknuckling my anchor points: “Stay in the boat. Just stay in the boat.” It’s mid-June — peak water flow season — and the river is running at roughly 38,000 cubic feet … [Read more...]

Utah is an outdoor playground on all levels, from 13,528 feet atop Kings Peak in the Uintas to 1,227 feet below ground in Main Drain Cave — the deepest cave in Utah and 11th deepest in the nation. The Beehive State’s underground world, shaped by water, minerals and time, is filled with colorful formations like helictites — hollow twiglike deposits of calcite or aragonite — and … [Read more...]

New Faces in Salt Lake Places

April 20, 2020 by Claire McArthur Leave a Comment

When my husband found out that he got a job in Salt Lake City for a mining company, and we’d be leaving behind our beloved Lake Tahoe, I had mixed feelings. I began reading through Reddit threads about what life is really like along the Wasatch Front. I Googled, “does Utah water down its wine, too?” I was woefully behind in my understanding of what were, in my opinion, the … [Read more...]

March 25, 2020 by Claire McArthur Leave a Comment

This past summer, my husband and I planted hops for the first time in a sunny corner of our yard in Sugarhouse. After years of buying shrink-wrapped packages of the papery cones for his homebrews, we decided it was time to give it a try ourselves.
