Bob Dustman – Over 1,000 Times on Top of Mt. Wire

September 10, 2020 by Amiee Maxwell Leave a Comment

Although I had never met him in person, Bob Dustman became a friend of mine.  I valued him for his fortitude, determination and love of the outdoors - qualities one can discern from a small plaque at the top of Mt. Wire which reads Bob Dustman (1925 to 2018) - Over 1,000 Times On Top.   His wife would say it was over 1,500 times. Lately, I’ve taken to buying old guidebooks, … [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...]

As Utah begins its slow post-COVID reopening, many of you may be having the same urge to be anywhere that isn’t the roof you’ve been quarantined under for the past several months. We hear you.  If a trip to Moab is in your future, don’t beeline to your destination. Instead, make the most of your journey — and newfound freedom — by checking out one of these pit stops along … [Read more...]

Hidden Utah

August 11, 2020 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

It’s more fitting than ever that our annual “Hidden” issue is delivered when a sinister, hidden threat has gripped our country, leaving our leaders and the media scared and irrational. In our ensuing panic it is now estimated by the New York Times that as many as 40% of our nation’s small businesses could close this year. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the real threat … [Read more...]

Utahns’ Love Affair with Cottonwood Canyon

January 5, 2020 by Sophia Limpert Leave a Comment

The love affair with Cottonwood Canyon began long before the Mormon Pioneers settled Salt Lake City in 1847. Fremont Indians inhabited caves along the canyon nearly a thousand years ago. Just a short ways up Little Cottonwood Canyon, Fremont pictographs can be found, depicting hunters, who took advantage of the bountiful fauna that is still present in the canyons today. The … [Read more...]

December 31, 2019 by Maria Milligan Leave a Comment

Ski season is finally here! Time to start haunting the weather app and planning your time off around good powder days. For some Utahns, though, time on the mountain is spent on the clock. Gonzola Artola, a supervisor in the lift operations department at Northern Utah’s Snowbasin Resort, is entering his fourth winter as a liftie. What it’s like to work at Snowbasin Resort?
