Snyderville: Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter
Tucked into the Snyderville Basin beneath the Wasatch Mountains, Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter is a place whose character is shaped by protected wetlands. The preserve safeguards about 1,200 acres of marsh, wet meadow and upland habitat on the Wasatch Back, where development around Park City meets a broad valley floor. Its ponds and seasonal waterways form part of the East Canyon Creek watershed. Operated by Utah State University, the EcoCenter pairs environmental education, exhibits and community programs with a LEED Platinum-certified building. Together, the preserve and center introduce the basin’s open land and the conservation work that maintains it.

Utah has functioned as a frontier region within the United States since the mid-19th century. Its terrain spans the Great Basin, the Wasatch Range and the Colorado Plateau, where red-rock canyons and high desert occupy much of the south and east. The Great Salt Lake is the state’s defining inland water body, while the Colorado River has carved some of its most dramatic canyon country. Salt Lake City grew from the 1847 settlement of Mormon pioneers, and Utah entered the Union in 1896. Five national parks, including Zion, Arches and Bryce Canyon, reflect the extraordinary variety of its protected landscapes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Utah.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
