    In the Main Gallery, from the Utah Museum of Natural History comes Bear River: Last Chance to Change Course. It is one of the longest rivers in America never to reach the ocean. Its 500-mile journey begins in northern Utah's Uinta Mountains, hugs the border with southwestern Wyoming, loops through southeastern Idaho, and heads back to Utah where it empties into the Great Salt Lake west of Brigham City. The Bear River is a truly unique waterway. With increasing demands placed upon it, or being considered, by various stakeholders, the Bear River flows through the ecology it helps sustain amid the gathering clouds of global warming, drought, and population growth. University of Utah communications professor, documentarian, photographer, and author Craig Denton has followed the sometimes rugged, sometimes lazy course of the Bear River. The result is a recently published book and accompanying photographic exhibit of the same name, Bear River: Last Chance to Change Course. Denton will be available to sign his book (exhibit catalog), talk about his discoveries along the Bear River, and what he sees in its future on Saturday, January 12, 2008, at 1 p.m., at the St. George Art Museum.
