Utah is an amazing place. I have three distinct geographic regions all within driving distance of where I live. To the west I have the Great Salt Lake Desert and the basin and range topography, to the south I have the red rock canyons and to the north east I have the high alpine forests of the Rocky Mountains. It is a stunning place to live and I love it here.

I am a native Arizonan, though, I only lived there as an infant. Born in Flagstaff. Moved to and lived in Page for a year and then taken by my parents to Idaho and then in my teens to Utah. Been here ever since. I love living in the west. It breaks my heart to see the unending immigration to these states from California and some eastern states. Utah is greatly losing its charm. I stay away from Salt Lake City now because it is becoming too large and too busy. It wasn't always this way. Montana is what Utah used to be. But even Montana is feeling the affects of the in-migration of Californians.

By the way, JohnAZ, I always enjoy your comments. I may not always agree with you but I always find your comments insightful and interesting.
