Unforgettable Utah: Historic Moments, Milestones and Marvels (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781467155489)

Chronicles of the Memorable and Mysterious!

Utah's history is as distinctive as its uniquely stunning landscape. From the state's own "Mount Sinai" to the tourist mecca of the Four Corners, remarkable locales demanded national attention. Angels Landing, the Zion Narrow Treks and Twin Peaks were sites of milestone explorations. Beloved, bygone resorts like the legendary Saltair and short-lived Eden Park represented cherished memories. Historic catastrophes defined local resilience, such as the state's first earthquake in 1859 or the 1944 holiday railroad disaster. And, seasonal mishaps and tragedies underscored the dark side of Utah's five national parks. Author Lynn Arave presents a diverse, unorthodox collection of Beehive State heritage, illustrated with nearly 100 images.
