Floyd Iverson, regional ector of the U.S. Forest vice, terms the new park of the most scenic and Wasatch State Park plans call for world's largest aerial trams (Editors note: This is another in a series of "See Utah" articles designed to better acquaint Utahns with their home state. They have been prepared by the Utah Tourist and Publicity council. Every other week a different sector of the state will be featured.) Plans for installing the largest network of aerial tramways in the world in Wastch Mountain State Park were disclosed this week by the Utah Park and Recreation Commission. Commissioner Harold P- - Fabian said feasibility investiga- from all over the world and would create a skiing paradise just minutes away from the thickly populated Wasatch Front, said D. James Cannon, director of the Utah Tourist and Publicity Council. It has almost unlimited potential, both for local citizens skiers and and added. I Mr. Fabian travelers, believe our Wasatch Mountain State Park could easily become one of the greatest national recreation ares in the United States. out-of-sta- tions are already under way to finance and build an aerial transportation system connecting the east and west slopes of the Wasatch Divide, just west of Midway, Wasatch County. . g cable cars The two of which will be capable of carrying 100 passengers each are just part of the developments planned for the new park, considered by state officials as Utahs number on 'ark project, Mr. Fabian ewriO chairman of the National Park Services Advisorary Board said when developments are completed, the entire Wasatch Divide from Provo Canyon on south to Parleys Canyon on the north will be under recreational development. The new cable cars, including both tramways and gondolas similar to those now in operation in Switzerland, France, Austria and Disneyland, USA, will transport skiers and summer and winter tourists from the Heber City-Par- k City side of the Wasatch to Alta and high-flyin- far-reachi- Brighton and to other points on the eastern slope. Utah's park development, by tying the eastern and western slopes together with aerial trams would attract tourists ng te The Park Commissioner pointed out the development of the east slope would relieve pres-surefro- the west heavily-use- d slope, including the Alta-Brigh-t- m on areas. Taxed facilities in these areas have long been a sanitary problem on Salt Lake Citys valuable watershed. Because of the geology and drainage of the east side of the Wasatch, no such sanitary problems would arise, and there is plenty of room for expan- one out- one state park. This request includes $50,000 for road improvements. Fred A. Picard, a representative of Von Roll Iron Works in Berne, Switzerland, largest manufacturer of aerial transportation systems in the world, said the system in Wasatch Mountain State Park would take two . or three years to complete. He said the 31,000 feet of aerial cable in preliminary plans would make the system the largest in the world. According to initial engineering studies completed by Paul Zuberbuhler of Berne, Switzer- land, the tram system would begin at a point about two miles up Snake Creek west of Midway. From there it would climb up to Big Flat lowstone. The scenic beauty of the eastern slope, with its alpine forests and panoramic view, has long been known, but access has been limited until the Utah National Guard built a road over Guardsmans Pass several years ago. The Park Recreation Commission also recently blazed a road into the park, providing new vistas of the Heber Valley, Mt. Timpanogos and Deer Creek .Canyon. Cost of the new' state park development has not yet been determined, although studies and 18, 1963 and up to Sunset Peak near Mt. Millicent. Then the system would continue down to Alta and Brighton. Both Picard and Zuberbuh-le- r were enthusiastic about the proposed project, declaring "theres nothing like it in the entire world.

Koziol, supervisor for Wasatch National Forest, pointed out that more people visit the canyons just east of Salt Lake City than visit Yellowstone National Park. In 1950 only 900,000 people were counted in Millcreek, Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood Canyons, but in 1961 figure Jumped to nearly two million, more than 400,000 above the head count at Yel- sion, Mr. Fabian added. The State Park and Recreation Commission now has title to some 20,000 acres of land in the area just west of Midway. The land abuts Deer Creek Reservoir on the south, the Uinta and Wasatch Nation- al Forrests on the west and Summit County on the north. . Mr. Fabian said the Forest Service and other local, state and federal agencies have expressed enthusiastic approval are now under way to establish feasibility and the best way to finance the project. Park officials said there is a possibility Utah can obtain a grant or matching funds from the newly organized Bureau of Outdoor Recreation in Washington, D. C. The Park and Recreation Commission will, request a $350,000 appropriation from the 1963 Legislature to begin development of the "number dev- this - January INCOME TAX REFUND IN U.S. SAVINGS BONDS For the first time, you can take your income tax refund in Series E United States Savings Bonds.
