Show Group Gives Tour Tips A new Utah Travel Council publication, "1, 2, & 3 Tank Tours of Utah," has fast become one of the Council's most popular travel publications. Recent advertising for the brochure has generated a volume of response far beyond the norm for Utah's summer travel promotion programs and has inundated Travel Council's staff. Included in the brochure are four tours in and around the Garfield county area which should increase travel in the county. The Painted Cliffs-Bryce Canyon tour, a one tank of gasoline tour, includes some of Utah's most famous and spectacular rock formations, taking tourists from the Panguitch area, to Bryce Canyon, Kodachrome Flats, Lake Powell, Glen Canyon area, through Kanab, Coral Pink sand Dunes, and back to Panguitch. Travelers, will see a desert of red sand, and possibly a Hollywood movie in production in the Kanab area. Two to four days are recommended for the trip. The Zion-Cedar Breaks tour takes tourists on a tour featuring the splendors of Zion National park and Cedar Breaks National Monument. In addition to the striking scenery, fishing in several of the local lakes is also a big attraction. Two days are recommended for the full circle, one tank trip. The Henry Mountains-Capitol Reef tour includes petrified forests, a 10,000 foot mesa, sheer canyons, and vari-colored stone formations all found in this unusual and seldom visited area which takes the tourist on another circle trip through Hanksville requiring two or three days and one tank of gasoline. The Panoramaland Tour recommended by the Utah Travel Council circles through Panguitch, Bryce Canyon, Kodachrome, Escalante, Boulder, Capitol Reef, Fish Lake, Richfield and back to Panguitch. It treats the traveler to a variety of scenery from a mineral-rich red sandstone to thick forests of aspen, spruce, and pine trees. Two National Parks, a state reserve and a beautiful lake are just a few of the features of this unique tour exceptionally rewarding for sightseers, photographers, and fishermen. Three days should be allowed for the one tank trip. There are a total of 51 separate trips planned by the travel council for sightseers in Utah. |
