  More than one million people who visit the public lands surrounding Escalante, Utah every year will benefit from new outdoor exhibits and a companion trip planning mobile application (app) which will be unveiled at the Escalante Interagency Visitor Center March 22.
  The exhibit and app were designed to help visitors have safer adventures in the area and forge deeper connections with their public lands. The Escalante Interagency Visitor Center will host the unveiling celebration for the new outdoor exhibits and app at the visitor center on Thursday, at 1 p.m. The public and media are invited to attend.
  "This project is an attempt to provide visitors with information to allow them to make good decisions - both for safely exploring and for being good stewards of this area," Angus said. "Ultimately, we hope to see fewer calls for emergency assistance in the Escalante area, and improved resource conditions in the backcountry as a result of the exhibits."
