Awesome, love the patchy lighting.
What's with all the dead trees? Some kind of disease or pest like pine beetle?

Utah native here. The Unitas were absolutely ravaged by bark beetles in decades past. It's gotten a little better but that's honestly because so many of the more vulnerable trees are already dead.

I'm not exactly sure but it is definitely some kind of tree disease like you've suggested
