Other kids also affect somewhat un-Utah fashions: shaved heads with ponytails on top, T shirts that read YOU SUCK, nose rings and lip rings. University of Utah freshman Matt Irvine says many dress alternatively but have firm morals -- a buddy of his at the concert leaves for his two-year Mormon mission in a week. Lis Calder, 22, says the Utah alternative-music scene is a reaction to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: "I was raised in a strict Mormon family.

This is a nose-to-tail wilderness experience. Permits are assigned by lottery to climb Mount Whitney, above California's Owens Valley, at 14,494 ft., the highest summit in the Lower 48 states. The limit is 50 people a day in the favored period of late summer, and by the end of April all the slots were assigned...
