  • Monument Valley Meander
    RV Traveler's Roadmap to Monument Valley Meander However you experience it, the valley is a wonder to behold, a harsh yet hauntingly beautiful landscape. View it in early morning, when shadows lift from rocky marvels. Admire it in springtime,when tiny pink and blue wildflowers sprinkle the land with jewel-like specks of color. Try to see it through the eyes of the Navajos, who still herd their sheep and weave their rugs here. 1 Highlights & Facts For The Ideal Experience Agathla Peak Trip Length: Roughly 260 miles, plus side trips Best Time To Go: Spring - autumn What To Watch Out For: When on Indian reservations abide by local customs. Ask permission before taking photos, never disturb any of the artifacts.

Named for a rock formation there that resembles an upside-down sombrero a whimsical footnote to the magnificence of Monument Valley—Mexican Hat is the nearest settlement to Goosenecks State Park, just ahead and to the west via Rtes. 261 and 316. The monuments in the park have descriptive names. They are based on ones imagination. These names were created by the early settlers of Monument Valley. Others names portray a certain meaning to the Navajo people.

  • How Safe Is Our Food?
    VOLUME TWELVE NUMBER 2 Lobbying Reform — Keeping it Legal by Cheryl Baisden When you want something really special for your birthday, it may take more than just a simple request to convince your parents to buy it. You probably start out dropping hints about how great it is, and then casually mention how your friends have it, and how good you’ll be if you get it. If that doesn’t work, maybe you become a little more helpful around the house, or try winning your mom over by complimenting her new haircut. You probably never realized it, but there’s a word for all of the effort you’re putting in — it’s called lobbying. And while you may be lobbying to get that special gift, the practice is most often used in government as a way to influence lawmakers. WINTER2008 “In government, a lobbyist is someone who tries to influence the decisions of elected officials,” explained Todd Sidor, an attorney From ‘Farm to Fork’: and lobbyist for the New Jersey State Bar Association. “Usually they are experts in certain fields, or former government officials with connections HowHow SafeSafe isis OurOur Food?Food? in certain fields, and their job is to by Barbara Sheenhan account for about 20 percent of our (CSREES); and the Department of educate legislators about why a food supply.

  • The Twenty-First Century Rediscovery of Nullification and Secession in American Political Rhetoric: Frivolousness Incarnate Or Serious Arguments to Be Wrestled With?
    The Twenty-First Century Rediscovery of Nullification and Secession in American Political Rhetoric: Frivolousness Incarnate or Serious Arguments to Be Wrestled With? Sanford Levinson* I. ZOMBIE (OR DINOSAUR) CONSTITUTIONALISM? THE REVIVAL OF NULLIFICATION AND SECESSION I begin with some news regarding contemporary American politics. On July 5, 2013, Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri vetoed a bill1 widely described as an attempt to “nullify” federal gun-control laws.2 According to one reporter: The Missouri legislation called for misdemeanor charges punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine against federal agents. It would have applied broadly to any attempt to enforce federal gun laws and regulations—past, present, or future—that “infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms.”3 A Republican legislator from a St. Louis suburb aptly described the legislation as “probably the most far-reaching attempt by a state to protect a citizen’s Second Amendment * Initially prepared for delivery as the Wylie H. Davis Distinguished Lecture, University of Arkansas School of Law, Friday, September 27, 2013. I am extremely grateful to Professor Mark Killenbeck for inviting me to deliver this lecture and for organizing the stimulating Symposium for which it serves as a “keynote.” The participation of the distinguished scholarly quartet of Mark Brandon, Jack Rakove, James Read, and Christopher Wellman was wonderfully complemented by the insights of long-time observers and participants in Arkansas politics—Bob Ballinger, Max Brantley, and Morril Harriman. As always, I am grateful to my friends Jack Balkin and Mark Graber for their close readings and many suggestions, as is true of my now sadly former U.T.

  • The Ultimate Journey Itinerary
    The Ultimate Journey Itinerary visitutah.com /plan-your-trip/recommended-itineraries/mighty5/ultimate-journey A 10-day expedition from Salt Lake City through Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon and Zion national parks. 10 days in Southern Utah? Good choice. Take off your coat and stay awhile! You'll appreciate giving yourself a little extra time to experience each park more intimately and to be able to linger at incredible stops along the way. Explore the itinerary below or download the PDF now. Day 1: Salt Lake City to Arches National Park Distance: 231 miles/3.5 to 4 hours Adventure in Arches National Park picks up where 300 million years of patient erosion has resulted in unbelievably dramatic landscapes that look more sculpted by giant mythological beings than the processes of time. Arches National Park contains about 2,000 windowed arches, towering spires, harrowing hoodoos, and precarious pinnacles on display, including Delicate Arch, perhaps Utah's most iconic feature, which is a must-hike destination in the park. A paved 40-mile scenic drive from the park entrance provides numerous parking areas for trail access and scenic overlooks. Guided Tour: Reserve a tour through the Fiery Furnace. This twisting labyrinth of brilliant red rock fissures and spines is so intricate it is highly recommended to find your way through with a guide. Hikes: The 1.5-mile hike to Delicate Arch is beautiful, with the end reward of viewing Utah's famous landmark, a famed standing any bucket list. Or hike some of the easy short trails in the park, such as the Park Avenue Trail and trails in the Windows Section of the park, or some of the longer trails in the park, such as Double O Arch, Tower Arch, and Landscape Arch.
