Squaw Peak Road – My favorite Sunday drive in Utah

August 17, 2020 by Dan Potts Leave a Comment

I rediscovered the great American road trip in the 1980s after returning from graduate school in Alabama. I had just started up Provo Canyon in my car when I saw the turnoff to the Squaw Peak Road (FS Road 27) on the right leading to the Rock Canyon area above downtown Provo. The Rock Canyon “Gorge” is easily visible from I-15, immediately above the Provo LDS Temple, and … [Read more...]

Joseph Smith knew this, as … [Read more...]

Hidden Utah: Dugway Revisted

July 15, 2015 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

For probably the first issue ever, we don't begin our series of stories in Utah but in Nevada, in an electronics store parking lot in Las Vegas. I'm returning a piece of equipment I bought to charge my camera battery. I've finally found the charger I need and I'm on my way. But what I'm about to witness can't be caught on my Nikon 3300. Out of nowhere, a spinning, invisible … [Read more...]
