  • 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.

  • Utah Lake Watch Report 2005
    Utah Lake Watch Report 2005 Prepared for Utah Division of Water Quality By Andy Dean, Utah State University Water Quality Extension www.extension.usu.edu/waterquality (435)797-2580 December 12, 2005 For additional copies of this report contact: Nancy Mesner (435)797-2465 [email protected] Introduction The Utah Lake Watch (ULW) program recruits volunteers to take Secchi depth measurements in lakes and reservoirs throughout Utah. This ULW annual report summarizes the results of Secchi depth measurements taken by volunteers throughout the summer of 2005. The data collected through the ULW are submitted to the Utah Division of Water Quality to supplement the data they take through their lakes program. The data can be used by scientists, lake managers, and numerous other organizations to analyze the clarity of and overall health of the lakes. Volunteers are trained individually to use a Secchi disk. The Secchi disk is lowered into the water body and the depth at which it disappears is the Secchi depth. Volunteers are also given information about site location (the DEQ station description or GPS coordinates). The monitoring site is typically the deepest part of the lake or nearest the dam on a reservoir. Standardized data sheets are given to each volunteer, which are returned to the USU Water Quality Extension office (Appendix 1) at the end of the summer season so these data can be recorded and summarized. Results During 2005, Secchi depths were recorded by 16 volunteers on 20 different lakes and reservoirs throughout Utah (23 sites total due to multiple sites in several reservoirs).
