Joe's Valley
The 5th Annual Joe’s Valley Festival is bigger than ever this year. The event that highlights bouldering, a sport that has helped breathe new life into the area, will showcase the strength, stamina, and incredible talents of climbers from around the world including the American Ninja Warrior Winner Isaac Caldera who is from Utah. Beyond showcasing the athlete’s on and off the rocks we will talk to local business owners and people in the area about how the festival has revitalized Joe’s Valley.
Boxing Gym
Three native Utahn’s are building their dreams one boxing step at a time. Owner and former boxing champion, David Mario Ramos, has big ideas for his new State Street Gym, and the inner-city youth it draws.

Alex Torrez (15) dreams about paying it forward by helping young kids overcome their insecurities and anxieties through boxing.

Meet four Utah families — the Volks, Nishes, Youngbloods, and Burkdolls — who work on their custom hot rods & streamliners all year round for a chance at breaking another land speed record.
