Loving Our Lands: What Does It Take To Actually Enjoy The Outdoors?

Utah is a destination spot for those who want to explore the raw, untouched lands of America. Adventurers seek out Utah to experience the awe of the land by exploring its northern snow-capped mountains or the river-carved canyons of the south.
