Forget the road trip, this is the best way to explore America's happiest state
'This is the one place on earth I can truly switch off,' said Trevor, our grey-bearded, barrel-chested fishing guide on Flaming Gorge reservoir, north-eastern Utah. In a state celebrated for its mesmerising aridity, it was a surprising sentiment – the water, not the land, was his escape. The moment felt like a slice of redneck paradise: rainbow trout dancing on the end of a line, stars and stripes flag billowing overhead, our solitary boat cutting through the pink dawn. Trevor's Glock 45 pistol glinted on the belt of his fish-blood-stained Wranglers, and in his eyes a fiery passion for his homeland burnt as red as the surrounding sandstone cliffs. Welcome to rural Utah – a place of uncompromising, unfiltered American-ness. In 1825 frontiersman William Ashley led a daring expedition through these waters, pioneering deep into the American southwest on the first recorded voyage down the 730-mile Green River – Utah's main waterway and the mighty Colorado River's biggest tributary. A journey with a twist 200 years later I was following in his footsteps through the state's remarkable red dirt deserts and labyrinthine canyons. The plan? Over eight days, my group and I would trace the Green River's course from its zenith at Flaming Gorge to its confluence with the Colorado River in Canyonlands National Park – a long-distance Utah adventure with a watery twist. The initial idea was to try and buck America's obsession with the road trip. No Winnebago RV or Thelma & Louise -style Ford Thunderbird convertible for us, just an inflatable raft and kayak or two. No arrow-straight highways or roadside motels on this trip; all we needed was the meandering water and a shoreline campsite. But, sadly, it was an overly romantic concept. The Green River is vast – stretching from its source in Wyoming's Wind River Range mountains through Colorado and Utah to its climax in Canyonlands – and simply too long to fully traverse. There are Indigenous land rights and perilous white-water rapids to consider too. The upshot? We couldn't ditch the motor vehicle entirely. Instead, we'd travel around by minibus, combining a conventional petrol-powered tour with as much river action as possible. It feels like a happy road 'n' rafting compromise: a Utah road trip, but never without a figurative nod to William Ashley's famed river voyage two centuries ago. America's happiest state Encircled by six other states, Utah wears its inland aridity with typical southwestern gusto. It's an 85,000-square-mile wedge of 'real' America – a place of cowboy ranches, Mormon churches and Butch Cassidy legends. It's one of the US's driest states, with vast deserts and searing summer temperatures. Yet despite being traditional, rural, sparsely populated (only 39 people per square mile) and a Republican stronghold, it was named America's happiest and most liveable state in recent polls. It's easy to see why. Over 70 per cent of Utah is public land – including 46 state parks and 22 stargazing Dark Sky Parks – and its opportunities for outdoor recreation are unrivalled. The classic state tour is a seven-night itinerary from Salt Lake City, visiting the 'Mighty Five' national parks: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef and Zion. These beguiling landscapes are world-renowned. Think crumbly red rock mesas piercing the empty horizon, slot-thin canyons dappled in golden light and Grand Canyon-like gorges of unfathomable scale. 'I feel so much gratitude to these amazing natural places,' explained our driver-come-guide Michelle the following day, as we hiked the otherworldly moonscape of Arches National Park. With the Green River veering sharply east from Flaming Gorge into Colorado (and thus out-of-bounds for our expedition), she would be our chaperone for the next 48 hours of river-free activities. By day, we ogled Allosaurus bones at Dinosaur National Monument, explored Capitol Reef's gargoyle-like 'hoodoos' and cruised Moab's backcountry on a white-knuckle off-roading experience. By night, we relaxed in John Wayne-approved luxury at Red Cliffs Lodge, where Rio Grande was filmed, and feasted on juicy burgers and thick shakes at Fifties diner Milt's Stop'n'Eat. 'It's been insanely good so far,' said Michelle on evening two. 'The scenery or the food?' I pondered. But I already knew the answer: both. On the water 'It's not very green, more the colour of a builder's brew,' I jested the following morning, as our raft and kayaks floated in Green River's muddy-brown waters. Nobody really knows the etymology. Is it named after cliffs of green shale, verdantly vegetated banks, green-tinted waters or, perhaps, one of William Ashley's 1825 expedition comrades? Whatever the truth, our 12-mile journey down Desolation Canyon returned us to the objective of our visit. Fifteen hours later and the crux of our adventure was upon us – a two-day rafting trip of Cataract Canyon's iconic rapids, including an overnight riverside wild camp. It would be the final leg of our Utah pilgrimage. Next stop? The confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers. 'The river unfolds with the narrative arc of a good novel.' It slipped off rafting guide Josh's tongue so languidly, it was obviously rehearsed. But his words proved surprisingly prophetic – our journey's narrative arc was set for an unexpected twist. Initially, all was well. Below striated copper-red cliffs, topped by fangs of amber rock, we floated through a landscape so alluring it felt unreal. Mesas and buttes, like giant craggy cathedrals, blazed in a golden hue. Overhead a single eagle soared; in the shallows, a great blue heron fished for breakfast; and always the river, with the perpetual omnipotence of nature, flowed southwards. That night we pitched tents on a narrow spit of land – our own little sandbank island of safety amidst the rushing currents. Steaks sizzled on the grill, stars dazzled in the inky-black night sky and we drank cold beers, as if reaching the river confluence was now guaranteed. But, cruelly, it wasn't. Engine problems wrecked our plans and, in a blur of pained decision-making at dawn, our rafting guides shared the morning's bad news: 'We can't negotiate the rapids – we need to turn around.' Was our finish line now beyond reach? Of course not. In America, land of unlimited possibilities, there's always another way. And so, the following morning, we found ourselves aboard a tiny aircraft, soaring sky-high over the sinuous, snarled maze of Canyonlands. Thousands of feet below, the Green-Colorado confluence suddenly appeared. I'd anticipated something powerful and violent, two unstoppable forces colliding with unbridled brutality. But, instead, it looked gentle and serene: dual shades of brown imperceptibly melting together, two becoming one. It was a friendly union – and perfect symbolism to end our journey through America's happiest state. Essentials Delta Air Lines flies direct from Heathrow to Salt Lake City from £918pp return.

DC man sentenced to 7 years after showing machine gun, drugs on Instagram live
WASHINGTON () — A 22-year-old man was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison after he went live on social media showing a gun and drugs. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia () said Corey Whittico was sentenced on Monday. His sentencing comes after he pleaded guilty in December of 2024 to unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition of a felon and related charges. The attorney's office said that during the video, Whittico showed a pistol with a machine gun conversion as he was traveling from Maryland into the District. Throughout the video, he also showed over a kilogram of marijuana that he stashed in the back of the car. Violence interrupter, DC man charged with first-degree murder in H Street lounge shooting Court documents revealed that in 2023, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) watched the live video on Instagram from Whittico's account. When he turned the camera around, he showed a black Glock handgun that had been outfitted with an aftermarket machine gun conversion, also known as a 'switch.' Within the next minute, Whittico reached into the backseat and showed marijuana in a black and clear bag. Officials said investigators drove to the Clay Terrace community in Northeast D.C. and continued watching Whittico's live. The officers then spotted Whittico sitting inside a Honda Accord. Shortly after, police pulled the Honda over and found three separate packages of marijuana that weighed over three pounds. Officers then found a Glock 27, a .40 caliber semiautomatic, loaded with 17 rounds under the passenger seat. DC leaders break ground on new recreation Center, early childhood education center in Fort Lincoln The USADC said officers also found a Glock 45, 9 mm semiautomatic loaded with 26 rounds of ammunition and a laser. Officials noted that Whittico is a previously convicted felon and is not allowed to have guns or ammunition. In 2023, he was convicted of robbery in Prince George's County and sentenced to 10 years in prison. However, eight and a half years of his sentence was suspended. The judge ordered Whittico to serve three years of supervised release. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
