k In the Fall of 1776 Father Francisco Escalante and his party, the first white men to visit Utah Valley, reached the shores of the 30-mile long Utah Lake on their his- toric quest of a shorter route from Santa Fe, New Mexi- co, to Monterrey, California. The explorers were fasci- nated by the richness of the land and they described it as The most pleasant, beautiful, and fertile in all New Spain. Seventy-one years latter, the valley ' s beauty and fertility attracted another group: the Mormon pio- neers, who after their hazardous trek across the Great Plains came to explore the plush basin, and soon there- after began its colonization. Today, like many areas of the West, Utah Valley is a land of contrasts. Clustered in the wide valleys and on the level plains are the devices of modern civilization, but the outstanding scenery has changed little. One has only to travel a few miles in any direction to reach prim- itive, virgin terrain, that remains much as it was when first viewed by the early explorers and settlers. The abundance of water, wild game, rich soil, and rugged terrain ... all combine to provide a great variety of agricultural and recreational opportunities. ntinued The Most Utah Lake (right) is a favorite spot of water sports enthusiasts.
