Site Update March 2025

If you visit my site frequently, you'll notice I've added quite a few new pages and articles lately. At the same time, I am updating and re-publishing older pages with current information.

I will continue to do this as I have time to improve and update the site. You may have read some of these pages before but hopefully the updates will be an improvement or just serve as a refresher.

If you see me republishing pages that you've already read, please bear with me. I'm just updating them and making them more current.

As I've mentioned before, I’ve had to put this site on hold a couple times over the last 4 - 5 years. There are various reasons but I'm back at it pretty much every day. 

I realized that despite not adding any new content, my traffic had continued to grow.  People kept finding this site and coming back to it. 

Anyone who has been in the blogging space over the last decade or so has experienced what I have.  It has often been discouraging to the point of giving up. 

Google likes to play games and change their algorithms periodically blowing up so much of the traffic that we’ve tried to grow.

I enjoy traveling this state and writing about it. This site has been a labor of love. I created it and spent countless hours on it over the past 15 years with no monetary reward whatsoever. 

One thing that has also kept me from spending time on this site/blog lately is that I don’t earn a dime from it. I don’t have an email list.  I don’t send out annoying emails. I haven’t added advertising. Yet. 

Moving forward, I will be changing this by offering eBooks and writing a mirror site on Substack.  That will enable me to continue to offer good (I hope) content on this site while allowing me to monetize my efforts on the Substack side.

I am currently just completing one ebook and will be publishing several more. Please watch for these if you are interested. 

One thing I would ask of you if you like this site/blog especially if you are a frequent visitor.  Please drop me a note using the “Contact Us” form and let me know what you want to see more content on.  Or email me at utahtravelsecrets@comcast.net  . 

• What do you like reading about most? 
• What do you want to see photos of (I’m easing back into outdoor and wildlife photography)? 
• What do you want to know about?      
• What kind of posts do you like reading?
• What kind of a much more detailed eBook would you actually pay a few dollars (bitcoin, lbs., euros, etc.) for? 
• Do you want to learn more about the more popular destinations or the more out of the way places in Utah?
• Or just let me know anything else you might be interested in.

Thanks for visiting my site.
