I'd like to see a source of P.'s information. Has he ever been to Utah? It's a desert in most of the valleys - very obviously so. Read any of the many existing journals of those that visited the area before it's settlement by the Mormons, and it attests to this fact (including but not limited to the writings of Father Silvestre V茅lez de Escalante, Jim Bridger %26amp; the Donner Party). There's a reason the Paiute, Goshute, Shoshone, and Ute only visited the areas where mountain rivers emptied into the valleys.



And as for the de-timbered mountains - well, they seem to be doing just fine. In fact, I've camped in them many times and often had a hard time find a place for a tent due to the trees.
C Developed a irrigation system and destroyed the natural environment. They sent out huge hunting parties and slaughtered the local wolves, eagles, bears, etc.



Contrary to popular myth, the Salt Lake basin was a fairly green and welcoming place. You can still see that in the canyon areas - which the pioneers stripped of timber.
