Utah Proclamation Promotes Yearlong Travel in 1948
The Utah proclamation urges residents to explore their state as travel demand rises in 1948. It highlights national parks and monuments, scenic diversity, and seasonally driven tourism, with Utah positioned to share in a booming US tourist era. Photographers from Ansco and local Moab photographer Harry Reed document Utah’s landscapes for nationwide displays. A Western Natural Gas well near Monticello yields 25 million cubic feet daily, linking to Needles California, with plans for expansion. A rediscovered giant scrub oak near Deep Creek may be the world’s tallest, predating Columbus discovery.
