House Concurrent Resolution on State Monuments, Parks and Campgrounds

This House Concurrent Resolution (HCR 13) urges Utah's Division of State Parks to evaluate two specific areas - Monte Cristo in Cache, Rich, and Weber counties, and trust lands in the San Rafael Swell - for potential designation as state parks, monuments, or campgrounds. It does not create new parks or allocate funding but asks the agency to assess these locations for future recreational use. The resolution highlights Utah's need to expand outdoor recreation opportunities amid population growth and tourism demand, while noting trust lands could serve both public access and generate revenue for beneficiaries. It is a non-binding recommendation, not a legislative mandate.
