Show Zion Park Visitors Show Big Increase Notwithstanding the . fact that Southern Utah's scenic wondeihmJ is "rapped, lipped and knocked" by certain supposed-ito-bc-boostera at the capital city, its popularity is gro .ng I just the same and the season just closed shows that more have vibiU-d Bryce canyon, Zion's National park and other famous attractions than at any other time since publicity 1ms been given the famed garden spots of the world. B. T. Evans, superintendent super-intendent of Zion's National paTk, and who was enroute to his Washington Wash-ington home, is quoted as saying that there were over 30 per cent- more visitors during the season just closing clos-ing than during the 1925 season. "Utah holds first place in numbers among the visitors," Mr. Evans U quoted as saying. "Caliornia is second sec-ond and easterners are gaining in numbers each year. All are learning learn-ing that the United States has more to offer, than all of Europe and next season the park visitors will lxr largely increased for the reason that visitors this year are broadcasting the beauties to bo found in Southern Utah." I When Salt Lake boosters come to j the realization that Zion's, Bryoe, Cedar Breaks, the Grand canyon and I other attractions to be found in I Southern Utah are ncting as a magnet mag-net and is one of tho state's 'jifc drawing cards from a tourist t ivel ' standpoint, and aid in directing . av-i av-i elerH to the scenic wonderland in-I in-I stead of the Yellowstone National j park, more travelers will head this way and the result will be rr -re money to support the great comtnon- wealth, in whose borders arc found i the greatent, best and most intcrcst- ing scenery in the world. |
