“I'm just up here for the ride to see the beautiful leaves," said Kamie Gibbons."And they are gorgeous this year.”“I was taken by surprise, especially around the curves," said Miranda."I was a little unprepared for the traffic.”“For about a mile stretch in each of the canyons, you have traffic that's going one way," said John Gleason, Public Relations Director for UDOT.
“You want to make sure that you're planning extra time," said Gleason."Just recognize that so many people have the same idea because this is one of the best weekends to get up there and see the fall colors.” Being stuck in traffic isn’t the most exciting way to spend a beautiful fall day, but Utahns like Larry Gibbons see the importance in updating the infrastructure.
“I know we get frustrated because we're all in such a hurry," he said."But if it makes things better, it's worth it. You have to have the big picture in mind.”“Keep the goal in mind," he said."If the goal is just getting up there and experiencing fall colors, enjoy the ride.”
