Utah

Great Salt Lake

Utah is a state in the western United States, known for dramatic desert landscapes, the Great Salt Lake, and a large Mormon population—the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded there.

We're driving through Utah on our way to Colorado.

The name comes from the Ute people native to the region.
