Moab is one of the most popular destinations to highline, a sport similar to tightrope walking. Now, the first highlining guiding business in the United States will open here in March. Plus, Utah lawmakers have clarified what therapists can do under the state's conversion therapy ban. The bill garnered support from organizations on opposite sides of the political spectrum. And later, many Black travelers in the Jim Crow era used a guidebook to tell them which places would offer them lodging and services. Now Colorado’s historic division plans a statewide survey of these locations, also known as Green Book sites.
