Show NO TOURIST MECCA IN UTAH It takes more than city motels and roadside eating places to make a community or a state a tourist attraction. It also takes more than natural beauty and scenic vistas to convince tourists they should take time to stop, unlimber their cameras, and enjoy things they can not find anywhere . else. , Most tourists think of Utah as a vast desert with one town centered on a temple which may arouse their curiosity enough to stop for a quick tour. The only reason they stay overnight in Utah is because the state is too big to cross in one day. And, let's face it, this is Utah's fault. We have not to tell the rest done anything well, not much, anyway of the country what we have here and how to reach it. And so each year millions of dollars in tourists' pockets go speed ing over our splendid highways, to be spent in other states which have less to offer but do a magnificent job of selling what they have. Only one place in the entire nation has a scenic overlook to compare with Utah's Dead Horse Point. Yet tourists don't know about it, aren't told about it. And the occasional car which finds this grand scenic wonder is forced to travel over 25 miles of narrow, winding dirt road (and back again), and on reaching it the folks can't buy a bottle of coke, find a drink of water, a sandwich, or decent rest rooms. Other states, with far less gorgeous spots, have ads in the Sunday papers, roadside signs far beyond their own state boundaries, magnificent tourist hotels (charging exorbitant prices) in the area, lunch and souvenir shops practically on the rim of the cliffs, highways, a toll gate where fees are collected from all visitors, go telescopes to entice extra dimes, signs pointing out the name of every chunk of rock, gulch, river, and mountain within sight, and colored slides of everything for sale to the tourist who is unsure of his photographic abilities. This is just one "for instance." There are literally thousands more in Utah. Have we no business men willing to risk investment in such an enterprise? And have wo no state officials with vision enough to do some promoting at the state level, and build some adequate roads? easy-to-dri- pay-as-yo- u from the MIDVALE JOURNAL 30 Years Ago II SENTINEL lUtahl MIDVALE THE stars of this area will round out the casts.
