Latest from Mormon Land: Will President Dallin Oaks defend U.S. elections — again?

For thousands of years of human history in the valleys of Utah Lake and Great Salt Lake, the Jordan River was a center of community and culture. It was the ribbon of life, providing food, water and sustenance. It was the “highway” for moving across the region, and a gathering spot for trading, sharing stories and news, and connecting with other Indigenous tribal communities. In September, the Jordan River Parkway will again become the gathering place for community and culture during the annual Get To The River Festival. Its more than 50 miles of parks, trails and natural lands that wind through 16 cities across Utah, Salt Lake, and Davis counties, is the perfect place for gathering, learning, exploring and caring. The Jordan River Commission and Jordan River Foundation, alongside dozens of community partners, have developed the Festival as an opportunity for fun, with a broader purpose. An Entry Point for Every Community Along the Corridor The Festival isn’t a single event on a single day. It’s a monthlong calendar that features dozens of gatherings across the river’s length. It provides activities that are familiar, and opportunities for discovery. There’s an entry point for every individual regardless of age, interest, background, ability level, and location. For kids and families, there’s a month-long scavenger hunt along the trail in West Jordan.
