Sanpete County
Sanpete County is unique due to our diverse outdoor recreation, cultural attractions, pioneer heritage, and being the home of Snow College. Our county population is over 30,000, and each of our 13 cities and towns has something special to offer. From world famous rock climbing in Maple Canyon, to swimming at Palisade State Park, to individual town day celebrations and Scandinavian Festivals, there is something for everyone. Because grassroots is key to long-term societal change in the Bolder Way Forward (BWF) Framework, a BWF 6-County Coalition including Juab, Millard, Piute, Sanpete, Sevier, and Wayne Counties amplifies the efforts in all the counties and brings the BWF message to every city, town, business, neighborhood, and family. Since the “whole is greater than the sum of the parts,” we look at individuals and organizations currently doing the work in each spoke, or focus area, and elevate existing efforts. By lifting women and girls, we lift all residents.
