Frommer's Utah

I was disappointed that there was not any information about the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in Brigham City.This is a star in Utah and is an IBA (Important Bird Area). It also is designated as a Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network Site, a globally important shorebird area.The Great Salt Lake boasts the largest fall staging concentration of Wilson's Phalaropes at approx. 500,000 birds, nearly 100,000 Red-necked Phalaropes.A Presidential Proclamation established the Refuge in 1928, so it is very historic in Utah.The Bear River is the largest fresh water component of the Salt Lake System.The Refuge contains over 74,000 acres of marsh, open water, uplands and alkali mudflats.Possibly it was in a previous edition, but is certainly worthy of a mention.

We went to a lot of the restuarants recommended and they were all great. Handy and easy to transport, what more can you want.

Frommer's Utah was great! we spent the week after christmas skiing at Alta- rated one of the best by Frommer's and i'd have to agree. the second week of our trip we spent in moab, and the book gave great hiking, camping, and driving directions for canyonlands, arches, dead horse state park, natural bridges national monument, and monument valley. what a trip!!!
