Description: Arizona Highways Magazine April 1947 (Bryce Canyon, Southern Utah, Mormon Settlement) (Vol. 23, No. 4) In this issue, the state magazine of Arizona salutes the state of Utah, and especially southern Utah, on the 100th anniversary of its settlement by Mormon pioneers at the Great Salt Lake. Arizona history is entwined with that of Utah, because Mormon settlers were among the very first to settle permanently in the territory to the south. Names like Romney and Flake can trace their lineage to these early residents. Editor Raymond Carlson writes: ?We point your way, in words and picture, to some of the scenic shrines of southern Utah ? to Zion and Bryce National Parks, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Wayne Wonderland, and to Arches and Bridges National Monuments. We have tried to stress places that we have not shown you before, but we would be neglectful if we did not point out that part of Monument Valley is in Utah and that Rainbow Bridge is one of Utah?s precious jewels.? Cover photo is ?The Silent City,? a study of Bryce Canyon by Robert Freeberg. Perhaps most striking, though, is the inside back cover, ?The Anticline on the San Juan,? by the Arizonan for all seasons, Barry Goldwater. Articles include: The story of the Mormon Temple at St. George, Utah. ?This is the right place. Drive on.? ? The Mormon pioneers arrive in Salt Lake. Walls of Fair Color, and Sculptors of the Wastelands. Visiting the scenic shrines of southern Utah, and pointing your way to Arches and Bridges. The San Juan: A river with a personality. A Monument To Those Who Went Before: On a hill east of Salt Lake City, the group of sculptures was to be dedicated July 24, 1947. Black and white photos through the magazine show the entire monument, and details from its friezes.
