Southern Utah Roads

The natural erosion process that has shaped southern Utah into what it is today is impacting the roads to popular national park destinations. Due to one exceptionally wet winter, a section of Kolob Canyons road in Zion National Park collapsed. One way visitors can help protect existing roads is to avoid parking on unpaved roads. [KUER]

The tallest edition to Salt Lake’s skyline and its two floors of penthouses won’t be buzzing until the end of 2024. But folks in the real estate biz are watching closely as it’s already shifting the vibe downtown. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧]

Can you guess the site of this week’s photo? Bonus if you know what it is.
