"On Draft Day for the Game of Life Arizona by lottery had first choice and to no surprise to anyone chose the Grand Canyon. As the draft went on Yellowstone, Yosemite, and all the other wonders of the world were taken. Then Utah, with a later pick, surprised everyone, like it did with Stockton and Malone. Utah's pick was the best access to the north rim of the Grand Canyon - and so the argument continues to this day, was the best pick Arizona's first pick, or Israel's Jordan River pick, or the magic of Utah's Grand Canyon North Rim pick?"
