We took a trip around the State of Utah in 2016. We flew to SLC, rented a car to travel to the National Parks of Zion, then over to Bryce, and then up to Arches and Moab and then back over to SLC. One big circle around the state. Utah has beautiful national parks, but the state seems mostly desolate and open highways throughout the state. And I was unimpressed with both SLC and Moab, from the standpoint of a resident. But a wonderful place to visit for a week. Setting aside the politics of UT coming from the SF Bay Area, for me, there’s a zero chance of living there based on that vacation trip.
