Utah
Mild West
By KELLY CRUMRIN
|
| Well mannered and family-friendly, Utah represents a kinder, gentler Wild West. It is home to some of the most extravagantly beautiful terrain in the U.S., much of which can be hiked, climbed, skied, biked and golfed, and it is a proud curator of its rich pioneer heritage. |
|
From the populous Wasatch Front in the north, where 80 percent of Utahns live in and around the cities of Salt Lake, Provo and Ogden, to the bucolic south, studded with picturesque national parks and forests, Utah possesses a strong year-round draw. Nature lovers, adventure sports enthusiasts, golfers and those who appreciate spas and top-drawer luxury will all be thrilled to have a reason to visit the Beehive State.
