Great views of Utah, Peter. Thanks!

Colorado is really excited it stole the biannual Outdoor Retailer shows from Utah after two decades there.

From the Denver Post:

"The Outdoor Retailer show made the announcement just hours after leaders of the 1,200-member Outdoor Industry Association and executives from The North Face, REI and Patagonia told Governor Herbert in a conference call that Utah must change its stance on public lands or the industry would move its lucrative Outdoor Retailer trade show from Salt Lake City.

Specifically, they said Herbert must abandon state and national efforts to gut the Antiquities Act, claw back Bear Ears National Monument and transfer federal lands to the state.

Herbert’s office called it offensive that the show won’t even let Utah bid for future shows after so many years of support. Utah’s Democratic chairman meanwhile blamed the state’s GOP’s “far-right agenda” for costing the state the $45 million in direct spending the show brings annually."

Politics won't change the scenery in Utah!
