I searched for pictures of bats found in Utah & think it may be one of these two.

Little brown myotis (Myotis Lucifugus)
or California myotis (Myotis Californicus)

It was quite interesting to watch him. He'd slowly circle us a few times then as slowly and gracefully as a butterfly, he'd glide down & get a quick drink from the surface of the water just a few feet from me. Then he'd fly away to his roost in the old mine or to the cliff wall next to us where he'd just hang & watch us.

Oh and with a bat around, none of us returned home with even one mosquito bite.
