Welcome to the state that has it all - caverns, national parks, colorful towns and breathtaking scenery. This is what you get when you visit Utah, home to 2,233,169 people. It is the 34th state of the United States and has the nickname of the Beehive State. The Franciscan friars first explored this region in 1776 and Jim Bridger discovered the Great Salt Lake in 1824. It was mainly the Mormons that settled this area arriving in the middle of the 1800's fleeing persecution due to their practice of polygamy.
With more than 11,000 miles of streams and 147,000 acres of lakes, Utah is an outdoor person's dream. The fishing and hunting are spectacular and with 5 national parks in the state, there is ample opportunity to see the wildlife and for birdwatching. The Golden Spike Empire is the largest lake west of the Mississippi and is the best vantage point for seeing the Great Salt Lake. See unusual rock formations, such as the Devil's Slide, which resembles a giant slide for children.
Explore canyons and climb mountains. The Jardine Juniper is the oldest tree in the Rocky Mountains, located in Logan, where you can also visit a living history museum to get a look at what life was like in Utah's past. Salt Lake City offers you a tremendous amount of opportunities for a vacation with its wealth of museums, theme parks and proximity to skiing in the mountains.
