Forest Service may cut fees, but no changes yet in Top of Utah areas

OGDEN — A court decision in Arizona means the U.S. Forest Service may reduce or eliminate recreation fees in some of its forests, but there are no changes yet in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache, which covers most of the Top of Utah.

See kokanee salmon at Strawberry

WASATCH COUNTY -- Bright red kokanee salmon have started to swim up some of the tributaries to Strawberry Reservoir. The salmon make this journey as part of their annual spawning run.

You can see hundreds of these salmon -- and possibly other wildlife, too -- at the annual Strawberry Valley Wildlife Festival.

The festival will be held Sept. 24 at the U.S. Forest Service visitor center at Strawberry Reservoir. The visitor center is along U.S. Highway 40, about 20 miles southeast of Heber City.

The festival is free. It runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Friends of Strawberry Valley host the festival every September amid the valley's beauty and changing fall colors.
