Hype for the Future 146M → National Forests in Utah

Overview Within the State of Utah, the notable national forest units include the Ashley, Dixie, Fishlake, Manti-La Sal, and Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forests. Though the vast majority of the forested areas of the State are associated with the Rocky Mountains on the eastern side, national forest units and ranger districts are also notable for protecting mountainous zones even immediately to the east of the urban corridor of the Wasatch Front.

Recent studies on the #Wasatch Front, #Utah, have identified key sources of particulate matter in air pollution: mineral #dust, #urban pollution, and #fireworks. Highlighting the need for ongoing #AirQuality monitoring.

I don't remember seeing the avalanche forecast for the local mountains look like this before.

If you're in the Wasatch it might be a good time to be somewhere else. #avalanche #wasatch #knowbeforeyougo
