As wildfires continue to burn across the West, Southeastern Utah has felt impacts, especially when it comes to air quality. But beyond the smoky air and searching through pictures, it’s difficult to get a real sense of neighboring wildfires. What do they feel like? Sound like? Have they affected that favorite hiking trail? Today on the news, our partners at KDNK answer some of these questions reporting from Grizzly Creek Fire, currently burning in Glenwood Canyon. And later, Moab resident Carey Dabney produced an exhaustive study for the League of Women Voters on the transfer of public lands movement in Utah. It documents the modern movement from its roots in the Sagebrush Rebellion to current legislation today.
