Summer is one of our favorite times to get out and recreate. While we continue to feature sites and experiences unique to the Bear River Heritage Area, we understand how COVID-19 is limiting our mobility. This is a time to be aware, travel safely and responsibly, and think of your neighbor as you participate in events. Please follow State updates and guidelines, wherever you go.
