Their watersheds provide more than 50 percent of the drinking water for more than 500,000 residents. Many of us enjoy the Wasatch canyons for recreation purposes or to escape for a bit of solace. They provide habitat and wildlife corridors for a wide range of abundant animals, plants, and birds at the edge of a vast desert. The Wasatch canyons stand as the backdrop and viewshed for our urban Wasatch Front and, because of careful management by local and federal managers, have prevailed as a respite for urban users for generations. The canyons are one of the top five most visited national forests in the country and draw important tourism to the state.
