Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah is synonymous with wilderness, natural beauty, remote uncultivated regions still in natural conditions—and recreating.
It's been forecasted that by the year 2060, Utah will have an estimated population of 6.84 million. Compare that to today's estimated 3.22 million.
Yet today, 2019, the environmental infrastructure in place to accommodate both the protection of Little Cottonwood Canyon's natural beauty and protect what's left of it, as well as preserving the people's rights to enjoy that which belongs to everybody as much as they wish, is untenable.
Something needs to be done about it, but what?
On this episode of The Utah Stories Show, we had Executive Director of Save Our Canyons, Carl Fisher, on to talk about what can be done to further protect Little Cottonwood Canyon and other Utah canyons from the massive growth Utah is currently experiencing.
