I live in Utah just North of SLC and I hear this every once in a while. The Wasatch Mountains here, to the East, are also pretty amazing. When I'm away I always miss these mountains. If you go West you hit the lake, which is low, muddy, stinky, and mostly dead and then there are the salt flats beyond. True, it's a desert, like much of the US, but the mountains are pretty amazing here. The best times to visit are Spring, Fall, or Winter. Hit this place in the heat of summer and you'll probably wonder why we're here (everything is dry). But it's nice in Spring and Fall and lots of people love the Winters.

Not sure how this whitewashing of history ended up on the front page but I find it amusing that the author consistently uses quotes around "Mormons". Another commenter in this thread referred to them as a minority. Well, if you live in Utah, then they are no minority and you are living under their thumb. Especially in the author's town of Cedar City. Yikes.
