Canyoneering Robber’s Roost Country- By Air!

Flying over the Utah landscape is always an eye opener for me. I find myself pinned to the window, amazed by the point of view from the air. No matter which way you are coming from there is always some amazing topography to take in. I love scoping out the dirt roads, [...]

LoToJa- A Look Back

This September 11th, a few thousand cyclists will line up in Logan to race and ride the 28th version of the longest sanctioned single day race in the US. Covering 206 miles and ending in Jackson, WY, the LOTOJA (Logan to Jackson) has also become one of the most popular road riding events that many [...]

The Chase- Inside the Tour of Utah

Sport has always been intertwined with our state’s history. From recreational pursuits like skiing, climbing, and paddling, to the 2002 Winter Olympic venues, Utah’s dynamic geography and stunning beauty has made it the likely choice for sport-centric people worldwide. However, until recently, Utah’s place in professional cycling has been minimal. That all changed [...]

The Great Ride in the Sky

The Great Ride in the Sky

Riding your bike 100 miles in a single day is one thing. Riding your bike 100 miles in a day over multiple mountain passes at altitude with a vertical gain of more than 12,500 feet is quite another. But every August, over a thousand mountain bikers (a good number of them from Utah) venture to [...]

The Fixie Scene in Salt Lake

Imagine flying down the avenues on a bike that has more in common with a tricycle than a traditional 10-speed bike. The rear cog is directly connected to the rear wheel so that anytime the bike is moving the pedals go round and round making coasting totally impossible. You just can’t decide to stop [...]

HB 141 Restores Property Rights
By Randy Parker
According to Adam Smith, author of The Wealth of Nations, the expectation of profit from improving one’s stock of capital rests on private property rights. It is a belief central to capitalism that private property rights encourage the property holders to develop property, generate wealth and [...]

Cataract Canyon- Blissful Days on the Colorado

Cataract Canyon- Blissful Days on the Colorado

Cataract Canyon was one of the last places the white man explored in America. No small wonder, as it truly is in the middle of nowhere. Nowadays, you can four- wheel into the Doll House, about twelve hundred feet above the river and just upstream from the beginning of the river canyon. This [...]

Solo Down the Middle Fork of the Salmon

Solo Down the Middle Fork of the Salmon

In 2009 I won the lottery. The ticket cost $6 and I won the right to pay $700 for a 5 day camping trip. The lottery was held by the Forest Service, and winners got a permit to float the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.
The Middle Fork winds for about 100 miles through the [...]

Canoeing the Little Grand Canyon

Canoeing the Little Grand Canyon

I hate water. More accurately, I hate to get wet. This is why I don’t know what I was thinking when the idea came up to canoe down the San Rafael River through Utah’s Little Grand Canyon. In general, I pursue water sports with about as much effort as I lick asphalt. Rafting in particular [...]

Dr. Geoffrey Tabin- Giving Eyesight to the Blind

“What do you think is the most fun we can have?” The words of Dr. Geoffrey Tabin as I sit waiting to begin my interview. He is conversing with one of his good friends about the possibility of skiing ten resorts in one day. “We’ll see what the avalanche danger is, but I [...]
