Number of National Forests in Utah

In the first paragraph in Tourism section it states that Utah has 6 National Forests, yet in the "Protected Areas of Utah" it lists 8. I can see how the Caribou-Targhee and Sawtooth National Forest are mostly in other neighboring states. My question / comment is that both areas should be consistant, using either 6 or 8. Additional comments?? Rocketmaniac ^RT 16:04, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would support there being 8 listed in the Tourism section unless clarification is made that would exclude the other 2. Jhunt47 (talk) 17:18, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest Snow on Earth

I'm not comfortable with the editing of the text at this time but wanted to point out an error in the Climate section. It states that Utah's Ski industry started using the "Greatest Snow on Earth" mark in the 1980's but in the legal filings for the Ringling Bro's lawsuit it states that Utah started using the phrase in 1962. Findlaw

From the filing:

"Defendant Utah Division of Travel Development (“Utah”) is an agency of the State of Utah. As early as 1962, Utah began using its GREATEST SNOW mark in connection with Utah tourism services. Utah has used its mark in magazine advertisements every year from 1962 to the present except 1963, 1977, and 1989. Utah has authorized the Utah Ski Association to use the GREATEST SNOW mark in connection with the Association's promotion of Utah tourism. Utah's primary use of its mark in Utah is its display on motor vehicle license plates. For each of the past fifteen years, Utah's budget for winter advertising, including advertising of the GREATEST SNOW mark, has ranged from $300,000 to $450,000."

Fox visit

Is the Vicente Fox visit important enough to merit its own bullet point within the Utah article? Kant66 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:19, 5 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]

County area rework

I noted a significant discrepancy in the areas of Utah counties; this page differs in every instance from the data listed by the US government on its gazetteer page (http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_counties_49.txt) and the listing in the National Association of Counties (for Utah). The NAC data agree precisely with the census data, as long as you realize that in every case the total is rounded DOWN to the nearest whole number. I am going to re-work the data on this wikipage, and then re-work each county's wikipage, using the census data area. It hurts me to say this (since I am so used to rounding up when = or greater than 0.5), but I will round the census values down to the integer, in order to be in strict accord with the NAC values. Any comments or rebuttals??? --Spray787 (talk) 19:53, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Stand

The scene in The Stand where Nick meets Tom was filmed in Ogden, UT, not Midvale. Ogden's iconic Union Station is clearly visible in the background when the camera pans up as they ride away on bicycles. I have changed the entry to make the correction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.52.76.53 (talk) 02:35, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Error?

In the climate section, there are error messages. Should I delete them, or should someone fix them? Thanks, 17adavis7 (talk) 01:35, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
