At the Museum of Utah, objects ranging from ceremonial jewelry to rodeo buckles help tell a broader story about who Utahns are and how the state’s history is remembered. The museum’s “The Past is Personal” exhibition, open through spring 2027, brings those stories together while asking visitors to consider what being a Utahn means today.

Across Utah’s canyons and high country, spring begins with small signs – melting ice, warming stone and the first hints of green beneath snow. These poems linger in that in-between season, when winter holds on and the land slowly turns toward renewal.

Just 25 minutes from Salt Lake City, Little Cottonwood Canyon rises into granite towers, snowfields, wildflower meadows and alpine ridgelines. It supplies drinking water, shelters wildlife, draws skiers, climbers and cyclists, and holds decades of memory for those who know the Wasatch.

In “The Canyon We Inherit,” photographer Howie Garber joins writers, scientists, conservationists and community leaders in honoring the canyon at a moment when the proposed gondola has sharpened questions about access, growth and protection. Their work asks what it means to love a place – and what it takes to defend it before it changes.

Becca Jordan steps out of a plane above Moab with redrock below, a purple wingsuit catching the air and a world record to her name. At 27, the Moab wingsuiting instructor has completed about 1,500 skydives – roughly 1,100 of them in a wingsuit – and helped take an all-female acrobatic wingsuit team to the 2025 FAI World Cup of Wingsuit Flying.

In competition, Jordan flies with teammate Elizabeth Brott and camera flyer George Hargis, performing grips and maneuvers at speeds near 200 mph. The speed, though, is not how Jordan describes the sport. "The fear diminishes and it becomes this place of comfort and focus," she said.

By midmorning in Kamas, the donut case at Mirror Lake Station is often already empty. The Chevron station has been turning out homemade donuts for decades, with current owners Kristin and David Wade keeping the routine alive: early mornings, scratch-made dough and doors open at 5:45 a.m. for locals and travelers headed toward Mirror Lake Highway.

The station is best known for dinner-plate-sized fritters in apple, blueberry and raspberry, made from leftover donut dough and available only as long as the morning batch lasts. Even in health-conscious Park City, a pink box from Mirror Lake Station rarely lasts long in an office break room.

John Moses Browning spent much of his childhood in his father Jonathan’s gun shop in Ogden, filing rust from salvaged gun parts, sorting through “Pappy’s” scrap pile and learning the trade beside him.

As a boy, Browning built crude fi****ms from discarded pieces and worked to earn the approval of his father, a respected gunsmith who pushed him to keep improving. That relationship would shape the work of the future inventor behind Browning & Bros. and some of the most influential fi****ms of his era.

At Edge of the Cedars State Park Museum in Blanding, pottery, tools and textiles trace more than 700 years of life in the Four Corners. Inside the galleries and visible storage, visitors encounter one of the region’s largest on-display collections of Ancestral Puebloan artifacts.

Outside, a restored pueblo, open kiva and sun-aligned sculpture connect that history to the landscape, offering a closer look at how people lived, worked and adapted at the edge of desert and field.
