Summer adventures are better when everyone makes it home safe.
Morris is fully on board. Frank is…well, adjusting.
Whether you’re hiking, boating, camping, fishing, biking, off-roading, or exploring Box Elder County with family and friends, a little preparation goes a long way.
Before you head out:
💧 Bring plenty of water
⛅ Check the forecast
🥾 Dress for the activity
🧭 Know your limits
📍 Tell someone where you’re going
Utah weather can change quickly, trails and water conditions can vary, and summer heat can sneak up fast.
Morris wants you hydrated, prepared, and home safe.
Frank preferred the good old days when people forgot water and wore the wrong shoes. Don’t give Frank the satisfaction.
Plan ahead, stay aware, and take care of the people adventuring with you.
Let’s enjoy the outdoors safely all summer long.

Looking for a one-of-a-kind Box Elder County experience?
Each year, Golden Spike National Historical Park commemorates the 1869 Golden Spike ceremony at Promontory Summit with replica locomotives, living history demonstrations, and volunteer actors. The annual event marks the completion of the first transcontinental railroad and gives visitors a chance to experience history in a truly memorable way. Plan a visit to the park on May 9th and 10th this year, and keep it on your list year-round for scenery, history, and a chance to experience one of the most iconic places in the American history.
As we wrap up International Dark Sky Week, we want to remind families across Box Elder County that experiencing the night sky doesn’t require a telescope or even a long trip. With so many wide-open spaces and dark skies all around us, some of the best stargazing spots are right in your own backyard.
Whether you step outside your door, head to a nearby field, or take a short drive to a quiet country road, there are countless places close to home to look up and connect with the night.
From simple stargazing activities to fun ways families can explore the sky together, we’ve gathered a few ideas to help you celebrate the night, right here in our community.
Where is your favorite place to see the stars?
