Utah, US
Utah: Located in the western United States, Utah is known for its diverse natural landscapes, including the Rocky Mountains and the Great Salt Lake.
Utah is a state in the Mountain West subregion of the Western United States. Utah is a landlocked U.S. state bordered to its east by Colorado, to its northeast by Wyoming, to its north by Idaho, to its south by Arizona, and to its west by Nevada. Utah also touches a corner of New Mexico in the southeast.
Utah has a population of 3.151 million as of 2020 and an area of 84,899 square miles (219,873 km2). Salt Lake City is the capital and largest city in Utah, with an estimated population of 1,832,440 as of 2020. Other large cities in Utah include Ogden (253,146), Provo (210,739), West Valley City (159,737), and St. George (130,055).
The dominant religion in Utah is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The LDS Church has historically been highly influential in Utah politics and government since territorial days. As a result, Utah's culture is heavily influenced by Mormonism—the majority religion's adherents make up 70%–75% of Utah's population—and Mormon-influenced ideals such as abstention from alcohol use tend to be more socially.
You'll find plenty of things to do in Utah—from skiing in Park City during winter to hiking in Zion National Park during summer (or any time!). There are also many cultural events throughout the year including festivals celebrating everything from quilts to folk music.
