-Hayden (Salt Lake City, Utah)
The culture here is amazing. Everyone around here are close and basically know each other. Not to say that there aren’t problems, but it’s still really nice. There are so many activities and possibilities here, from rock-wall climbing to boating. Hiking and outdoor activities are almost limitless. With Zions just down the road a ways, to all of the history of St. George itself.
-Noah (St. George, Utah)
My review addresses outdoor recreation only. Utah is unique in the USA for its access to diverse terrains and activities. A relatively short drive from Salt Lake City will offer desert, mountains, rivers, and lakes. There are 21 national parks and 40 state parks. It is sixth in the US for boating which surprises people since it is a high desert state. Hiking in Utah is fantastic as is the all terrain vehicle and horseback riding. The opportunity for camping is abundant as is the free camping in the many undeveloped areas. You can even go river rafting. Then there is the skiing. There are three things to remember about skiing in Utah. It snows early, it snows often, and it snows powder. All in all Utah is the ultimate outdoor recreation location.

I am not a mormon and I absolutely love Utah.I find all the stereotypes and criticism people say about mormons offensive and not always accurate.I am currently a student at Utah State University and I have made Many friends so far. Many of them are mormon, but they are all nice, overall open minded and very accepting. Many of them are more accepting and open minded than many of my peers back home. Also one of my uncles married a lady who is LDS and she is super caring and open minded and non judgemental and very welcoming. There are probably some close minded, brainwashing and judgemental LDS folks, but that’s the same with all people, Mormon or not. The lifestyle here is worth any quirks.
