'You’ve got families in the canyon and children and elderly that are using it' - Salt Lake City officials are trying to educate the public on the rules and regulations in City Creek Canyon in order to keep all visitors safe.
"It’s a very nice place to get out from the city, from the hustle and bustle, to come up here and relax," explained Sgt. Mark Wian with the Salt Lake City Police Department."Have a picnic, maybe go running or go for a walk or ride their bicycles."
The safety reminder comes as fire crews have had to respond more than a dozen times this spring and summer due to a variety of issues. Some of the problems stem simply from people traveling too fast. Besides the natural beauty of the canyon, city public utility crews are in the canyon 365 days a year, to monitor and protect the main natural resource that Utahns need. Water.
Due to the necessity of water and its importance to all people in Salt Lake City, visitors heading into the canyon should be aware that swimming and wading in the water is not allowed and absolutely no dogs are allowed in the river.
