Lava Flows and Hot Springs: Volcanic Activity in Utah

July 24, 2018 by Alyssa Bray Leave a Comment

Years ago, I saw a photo on Facebook of a little girl snorkeling among tropical fish in a rocky pool with clear turquoise water. The photo was tagged at Meadow, Utah. I had never heard of Meadow, but I soon discovered that just outside this quaint town in Millard County, lies a collection of thermal springs. Two years ago my sister and I made the road trip to see the springs … [Read more...]

Bears Ears National Monument—Two Million Acres of Utah Land Out of Federal Control—Should We Be Worried?

January 15, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

At the behest of Orrin Hatch, Rob Bishop, and Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, President Trump made the right choice to return portions of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase to local control. How could an environmentalist editor believe such a thing? Let's examine the facts.  Moab touring companies have been offering guided recreation on these lands since the 60s. I've had the … [Read more...]

Fall Fishing is the Best—Now is the Time to Enjoy a Quiet Day on the Water

October 23, 2017 by Dan Potts Leave a Comment

Many anglers fish during the spring and summer months, and some even ice fish during winter, so avoid the crowds and enjoy fishing in the fall. Because they are cold blooded, most fish ramp up their feeding as the waters warm in the spring. But unfortunately, that is also when most species spawn, and are often found “lock-jawed” in schools in relatively small areas. The … [Read more...]

Trail Angels Among Us

August 15, 2017 by Liv Tipton Leave a Comment

When the developed world becomes tumultuous, the politics are too much, and culture looks bleak, many of us take to the wilderness for solace. At the end of the day, though, we are humans susceptible to the risk associated with the reward of the great outdoors. Blisters form, bootlaces snap, ankles roll, water is scarce, the woods are dark, the mountains are deep, and things … [Read more...]

Utah is the Perfect Place to Beat the February Blues

February 14, 2017 by Utah Stories Leave a Comment

There is a very sad phenomenon called SAD, an acronym for Seasonal Affective Disorder. This condition causes many people who live in severe climates to suffer a form of seasonal depression in the winter. According to Psychologytoday.com this disorder affects 10 million Americans. From Utah Stories’ internal research we have found that adrenaline junkies, powder pigs and … [Read more...]

Mountain Accord Update

December 13, 2016 by Andrew Wankier Leave a Comment

Compared to most mountainous states across the world, Utah has been said to have some of the best access to its recreational peaks. With urban planners and developers concerned about the State’s projected population growth, in 2014 Mountain Accord (MA) became the proposed solution to a looming problem. According to their website, “The Accord is the culmination of two years … [Read more...]

Camp Kostopulos Opens a World of Opportunities

November 1, 2016 by David E. Jensen Leave a Comment

Not far up Emigration Canyon, tucked into a hillside amongst native scrub and mature shade trees, lies a 25-acre complex of cabins, trails and equestrian facilities that resembles a typical summer camp or vacation retreat. But there is nothing typical about the people who come here.   Nearly everyone has heard of Camp Kostopulos, or ‘Camp K,’ as it is affectionately known, but … [Read more...]

Cataract Canyon – Taming the Wild Beast

September 21, 2016 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

"What's the difference between a mutual fund and a river guide?" asks Aaron Rappleye as we swap jokes at camp on the river. “A mutual fund matures in four years and starts paying out." There are plenty of applicants with delayed maturity, or Peter Pan syndrome, who would gladly love to become a river guide on the Colorado River in Moab, Utah. The job is seasonal and it … [Read more...]

Blue John Canyon — Ralston’s Rock Found

May 8, 2016 by Richard Markosian 2 Comments

Last month, I had the opportunity to visit Blue John Canyon, High Spur Canyon and Horseshoe Canyon - home of the Grand Gallery. I made the tour with Navtec Expeditions out of Moab, Utah. While there, I visited the site where Aron Ralston's arm was pinned for 127 hours. We also visited some of the most stunning examples of slot-canyon geology found on Earth. I can highly … [Read more...]
