Utah and the Colorado Plateau feature some of America’s most iconic National Parks. These special and sacred places attract growing numbers of visitors from all over the world and they provide an enormous economic benefit to the region and the state. Are we taking our good fortune for granted? Multiple threats, issues, political maneuvers and just plain over-visitation are placing these fragile, unforgiving places that we love in great peril.
