It's the second largest county in Utah, with one area so remote, people who work there say they can see the curvature of the earth. Tooele County is dealing with some growing pains as more and more people see the county, with its rich history, as a place to call home.

KSL Newsradio's Marc Giauque breaks down San Juan County and what they need to succeed. It has gotten a lot of national attention because of Bears Ears recently. There are other issues facing the county though. High school students came out to West Valley City to a robotics convention. One challenge though is the fact that getting teachers can be difficult. It is hard on the student's education process when teachers leave and move on.

Utah's San Juan County has had a lot of attention lately, over the creation of the Bear's Ears National Monument. The monument has generated emotional argument on both sides over how that land should best be managed.

KSL Newsradio's Marc Giauque has an example of one school's story, as we continue on our road to understanding.

KSL Newsradio, KSL 5 TV, and KSL.com have come together to try and get some perspective of all areas in the state of Utah. We begin our Road to Understanding as we capture the struggles and successes in rural parts of the state. KSL Newsradio's Marc Giauque tells us stories of individual people in Salt Lake City. Changes have come to this area such as the Outdoor Retailer show which has ended its time in this state over public lands issues. He also discusses the differences between urban Utah and rural Utah.

Utahns and Americans lately have heard a lot of loud voices. Differences of opinion over all kinds of issues from politics to public lands to immigration to the economy.

The road to understanding.
