GEOG 3700 - Mountain Development and Recreation

The course will focus on the phenomenon which academic, industry and public attention have denominated as "Amenity Migration", analyzing, in a general perspective, and more specifically with respect to Utah, all aspects related to the migration waves of "amenity migrants" (i.e. permanent, seasonal and intermittent residents, temporary visitors, resorts' employees, etc.) from urban areas to recreational mountain areas, and how they relate to the geography of Utah and its urban/mountain areas.
