Tourism manager: Flaming Gorge selected for state 'Adventure Safe' kickoff on May 16
Summary
Tourism staff said Utah's new 'Adventure Safe' outreach will hold a May 16 kickoff at Flaming Gorge/Lucerne; the state selected 10 kickoff locations and county tourism will participate at no cost, offering family- and child-focused safety materials.
Peggy White, speaking for tourism, told the commission that the state's new 'Adventure Safe' program will host a kickoff event on May 16 and that Flaming Gorge/Lucerne was selected as one of 10 locations statewide. She said the event is intended to help travelers prepare — for example, by carrying enough water and sharing location information — and includes child-focused materials to help parents teach safety practices.
White said the tourism office will attend the full-day kickoff and will provide outreach materials at no cost to the county. Commissioners welcomed the selection and noted it may help summer-season messaging to visitors.
Why it matters: The state-led outreach aims to reduce search-and-rescue incidents and promote safe behaviors among visitors; local tourism participation can increase visibility for Flaming Gorge as a recreation destination without county expense.
Next steps: Tourism staff will coordinate logistics for May 16 and post schedules and event details on the Flaming Gorge Country website and local chamber channels.
