Utah County Resources

Utah County Resources You have been assigned a Utah county and are required to learn as much as you can and report to the class. Why not have a little fun? Instead of creating a boring, traditional report - use the resources below to plan a one week vacation for a family of four to your assigned county. The family consists of a father who enjoys local history, a mother who likes outdoor activities, a teenage boy who likes museums and a ten year old girl who wants to go to parks and shopping malls. Do your best to satisfy each family member. Below are some of the things your family will need to know:
