If this is redundant, please redirect me. History that can't be beat; may have the most Beckey routes of any state, save Washington. Arguably the best crack climbing in the world (except for Vedauwoo), worldclass ice in Provo and Ogden. Rockclimbing? 'merican forks, jaoe's valley, maple, those tourist friendly climbing resorts along I-15, but also Big wallin' in zion, and again the desert.
Surely a State deserving love, stories and photos!
What else?

News Flash!!! Utah and Colorado agree to land swap. Utah gets NW Co. and Colorado acquires SE Utah- effective immediately!
Phew! Now the canyonlands are with people who care.

Jaybro, the amount of snow on top of the tent does not do it justice. We probably had 6-8inches and damb near got stuck in beef basin as the road turned to porrage. It was quite an adventure as I-70 was clsoed due to a semi sized whole in the bridge by Glennwood springs and had to detour a couple of hundred miles on wintery roads. This led to us doing some pretty knarly 4 weeling through the creek in that old toyota below the damb. Also checked out the awsome ruins off the road, but I can't access the pictures now will try later. Then skied 2 ft of fresh powder in the Abhoes(spelling?)We did get a few climbs is including the awesome Bunny Slope, 140ft of Twos. I am sure it was a pretty interesting trip for my 9 year old's time to Moab.
