What’s on your Utah bucket list?  What adventure have you always wanted to do? What activities have you crossed off your Utah Bucket List and can suggest to us? We’d love to share your list with others. We’d also love to share your photos. You can share your list & photos on our Utah Public Radio Facebook pageand call 1-800-826-1495 Monday 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.  A film, “The Utah Bucket List,” premieres August 1 on KUED and is hosted by Salt Lake Tribune outdoor writer Brett Prettyman and produced by KUED’s Nancy Green. Prettyman has featured several of the adventures on the list in a series of articles in the Tribune.

On Monday’s Access Utah we’ll talk with Brett Prettyman, Nancy Green, and KUED producer Ken Verdoia and hear some clips from the film. Does your Utah bucket list include skiing through waist-deep powder? Running the rapids of Cataract Canyon? Exploring Devil’s Garden in Arches National Park, mountain biking on the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park or canyoneering in Escalante?  Perhaps you’ve always wanted to try ski jumping or bobsledding at the Utah Olympic Park? Or maybe bald eagle watching, attending a wildflower festival, or enjoying a sunset sail on the Great Salt Lake are more your style? If you are a wildlife enthusiast you might include the Bison Roundup on Antelope Island or fly fishing along the Green River.
