Public and private organizations from across the country are
coming together as members of the Great Outdoors Month® Council to
help all Americans Escape the Indoors and celebrate the
educational, economic, health and social benefits of active fun
outdoors.
Governor Gary Herbert has identified outdoor recreation as
indispensable to increasing economic opportunity in Utah,
especially in the more rural areas of the state. To support the
statewide and national celebration of the great outdoors, Utah’s
Department of Technology Services and its technology partner, Utah
Interactive, remind people to visit Utah.Gov to access convenient
online services that make enjoying the outdoors even easier.
“Utah is fortunate to have five amazing national parks, as well
as our 44 beautiful state parks,” said Eugene Swalberg, Public
Affairs Coordinator. “This is the perfect time to celebrate Great
Outdoors Month and enjoy these treasures. The State Parks Website
makes preparing for these experiences quick and convenient.”
The Utah state parks website captures the beauty of Utah’s
public lands and helps visitors find vital information about the
parks. Residents can also access online services on the website,
including: annual park pass sales, youth off-highway vehicle and
personal watercraft education courses, campground reservations,
event registration, interactive and off-highway vehicle maps.
While in the outdoors, the Hunting and Fishing iPhone and
Android apps help visitors get the most from their adventures. The
mobile apps give Utah’s outdoor enthusiasts a resource for wildlife
events, licenses, permits and communicating with the Division of
Wildlife Resources.
