We are working to ensure the continued care and maintenance of the American flagpole at Kyhv Peak Lookout Point in Utah by directing the Secretary of Agriculture to issue a special use permit for this purpose. This will help preserve a meaningful symbol while protecting public lands and natural resources.

Making a mountain a billboard for nationalism while tossing aside environmental checks? Progress, or just peak absurdity?
