Highs and Lows: Celebrating Zion National Park

Welcome to another edition of Highs and Lows! This week, I’m coming to you from Zion National Park, which is a high by any standard. But what makes this experience special is that I joined the local community in celebrating 100 years of Zion Lodge, which has played an integral role in helping people from Utah and around the world form a real bond with this place. As you know, Utahns love the outdoors and our national parks, and we are particularly grateful for the local communities who have, for decades, done an amazing job stewarding these lands. My low has been the unfortunate headlines highlighting bad actions made by sitting members of Congress and candidates. While it’s important that politicians are held to account for such actions, these stories can dominate the news cycle to the point that folks don’t always get to see the good work happening here. I wish I could transport you all to Washington, D.C., to see the many people who do behave and work in good faith on behalf of their constituents. I wish we’d see more reporting and social media posts on that. Hope you all have a great weekend! Read Newsletter
