After a century of getting dammed, diverted, moved out of its channel and, in some places, tapped completely dry, a big section of the Price River now flows free. The historic rail and mining town of Helper celebrated the completion of its river revitalization project this year. It marks the end of a decade-long effort to rid a seven-mile stretch of old piling structures impeding the river’s movement, along with concrete, junk and invasive plants choking the river’s banks. Residents and visitors can now fish, float and boat unimpeded through this increasingly popular tourist destination located halfway between Salt Lake City and Moab.
