Emily and I were hankering for an overnight backpacking trip, so we packed our bags and headed out for Dog Lake, a hike we found on AllTrails that seemed like a decently light effort.

We hit the trailhead and were met with a pretty peaceful uphill climb to the lake. Honestly, it was one of the more relaxing hikes of my life. We went slow, and really the only thing that happened to us was almost running into a moose! Talk about exciting.

I was walking behind Emily and I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye behind me. I turn around and am met with the pleasant surprise of being roughly 10 feet away from a full grown female moose! It was 2 feet from the trail! And behind us! That means we walked right past it without even noticing! Holy moly!

Anyways, we made it to Dog Lake and set up camp shortly after our moose encounter. Let me tell you, whoever called it Dog Lake has clearly never seen a lake in their life. I might have suggested Dog Puddle. Or Dog Oops I Spilled My Glass of Water. Whatever. I don’t get to name things.

Some other hikers were there with dogs who they let off the leash to jump into the “Lake”, which seemed pretty harmless except for the coyote we also saw hanging around by the lake. I don’t think the tiny chihuahua we saw running around without a leash would stand much of a chance…

We made our camp, had a very delightful mac n’ cheese dinner with laffy taffy for dessert, and snuggled up in our sleeping bags for an early night. We probably would have stayed up for some stargazing if it weren’t so dang cold.

The next day we hiked down without seeing much of any people or wildlife. Bliss.

We did however receive some news when we got back home. Apparently there was a mountain lion attack on a trail pretty close to the one we were on! Two women were hiking when they got attacked; it bit one of them and the other women fought off the cat with a rock! Props to them for being badasses, but mostly I’m glad we weren’t them.

[ad_1] If all roads result in blank calories in Utah, some municipalities comparable to West Valley Town are leaning towards taking another trail to succeed in it.A 2019 renewable calories invoice promised a gradual direction for native governments to apply to reach 100% blank calories through 2030. The plan was once to push the improvement of an calories infrastructure that may interconnect and feed sun, wind and different carbon-free resources of electrical energy without delay into the Rocky Mountain Energy machine.The Neighborhood Renewable Power Act, an interlocal settlement born out of HB411, began when just about two dozen Utah towns and counties dedicated to the 100% blank calories function through passing a qualifying answer, although many different native governments stayed at the sidelines. The regulation handed with Rep. Stephen At hand, R-Layton, and then-Sen. Daniel Hemmert, R-Orem, as sponsors.Imposing the initiative didn’t finish there, alternatively. This multiyear effort required more than a few steps. Presently, advocates are looking to get the ones qualifying towns and counties to join a governance settlement so to proceed in this system.Opting in approach towns and counties would pay the prices for Segment 1. Additionally they would develop into a part of teams that may paintings along Rocky Mountain Energy within the design of the application methods.To this point, 15 native governments have joined the interlocal accord to turn on HB411. Salt Lake Town, Summit County, Grand County, Moab, Millcreek, Park Town and Fortress Valley have signed and made further voluntary bills to verify the investment of the ones implementation prices, which run roughly $700,000. Alta, Cottonwood Heights, Francis, Holladay, Kearns, Ogden, Salt Lake County and Springdale are also collaborating in the second one step of the method.8 different communities that to begin with embraced the challenge haven’t made the dedication to stay going — although they're eligible since they followed resolutions supporting net-100% renewable electrical energy for his or her communities through 2030.West Valley Town, the state’s 2nd most-populous town, is certainly one of them — in conjunction with Bluffdale, Coalville, Emigration Canyon Township, Kamas, Oakley, Orem and West Jordan.Price stays a concern(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) West Valley Town Corridor, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022.After two years of discussions, a metamorphosis of mayor and of 2 council seats — or even with a brand new cut-off date that may permit town to sign up through Would possibly 31 — town turns out not likely to signal on and make its preliminary $47,899.22 cost for Segment 1.A number one concern is the affect that switching to scrub calories would have at the town’s low-income citizens.Town Supervisor Wayne Pyle advisable the Town Council to not take your next step to join the Neighborhood Renewable Power Act. He warned that town would now not be capable to keep an eye on its personal future as soon as it dedicated to the plan.“You're a small portion of the entire,” he stated.“We’re at all times skeptical and intently read about any type of new group earlier than we sign up for it,” Pyle stated. “My primary large worry with Space Invoice 411 is that I were given 140,000 citizens out right here, and what they're proposing would come with an undefined monetary burden for citizens.”The Town Council nonetheless discusses the settlement. If West Valley Town in the end indicators on, citizens could be routinely integrated within the blank calories transfer. They may be able to decide out through checking a field on their application invoice.Newly minted Mayor Karen Lang has doubts about this system.“I don’t suppose we've sufficient cast data from Rocky Mountain as to what it will price the citizens,” she stated. “They simply don’t have the main points, or they’re now not sharing them. And so I’m now not comfy committing our citizens to anything else with out all of the data.

”(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) West Valley Town Mayor Karen Lang at her house on Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2021. She is cautious of committing town to an interlocal settlement about renewable calories.There’s now not an exact prediction about how a lot the calories charges would build up. A 2017 find out about discovered that, with this program, “charges could be 9% to fourteen% upper in 2032 for the communities as opposed to trade as standard.” Since then, sun costs have diminished through round 25%, Utah 100 Communities, the company that administers this system, said on its website online.Going it by myself(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) A UTA bus choices up passengers in West Valley Town, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022.Program advocates argue this represents an extraordinary alternative to succeed in a key environmental function. Electrical energy is among the greatest resources of carbon emissions national, and this program has the prospective to vastly minimize them and make blank calories out there for individuals who can’t have the funds for the in advance funding of sun panels and different energy-efficiency equipment.“This program is not going to come round once more. This chance isn't one thing that there's a political urge for food to re-create,” stated Lindsay Beebe, marketing campaign consultant from the Sierra Membership. “It took massive political capital to create this within the first position. And it lately is the one program in Utah, and likewise within the nation, that permits towns to reach 100% renewable calories through 2030.”For his phase, Pyle doubts West Valley Town is lacking out on a possibility. Town, he stated, is operating towards the similar function of 100% blank calories through 2030 via its personal approach.Town shifted to four-day workweeks for its staff within the early 2000s, as an example, and transformed a part of its fleet to hybrid cars, together with vehicles for police detectives.(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) West Valley Town Police Division headquarters, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022.“We put 1,000,000 greenbacks in federal partnerships to emission relief efforts that may lead to energy-efficiency upgrades right here at Town Corridor,” Pyle stated. “We’ve finished the similar factor on the Circle of relatives Health Heart. That’s a 100,000-square-foot facility. We’ve finished that on the Maverik Heart, in its inside, and we’re operating at the out of doors, to make lighting pass right into a complete LED construction up there.”Town approves 400 residential rooftop sun tasks a yr, in keeping with Pyle, and has collected round 4,500 total. He believes that a majority of these movements will boost up and proceed within the subsequent 8 years.“We’re now not best. We’re now not there but,” Pyle stated. “However we've been accelerating and are making nice growth in opposition to that.”Carmen Valdez, coverage affiliate on the environmental nonprofit Heal Utah, has mentioned this system with town officers and has been operating with companies to inspire them to recommend for HB411.Valdez stated govt officers wish to know that being a part of the interlocal accord does now not imply that they're tied to a program they are able to’t keep an eye on.“What we’re hoping for is for them to peer that through changing into a part of the committee and the board that’s creating this plan and proposing it to Rocky Mountain Energy,” she stated, “you'll be able to in reality make sure that the ones considerations that you've got are addressed and come with such things as ensuring that there are alternatives for growth from the application on the subject of native supply energy.”Alixel Cabrera is a File for The us corps member and writes concerning the standing of communities at the west facet of the Salt Lake Valley for The Salt Lake Tribune.

visual excerpts of fall

Fall was the season hiking— from big cottonwood to millcreek canyon. These were only two of my favorites. I am thankful to live in a state where nature is accessible, where the canyon and hiking trails are only a 10 minute drive from home. I think that’s the one of the few reasons I’m still living here in my hometown— the nature difficult to be replicated anywhere else. I love my state and the opportunities for outdoor rec. I am grateful for nature walks and hiking as it was one of the few things that helped me feel grounded and at peace during difficult times.
