Utah is known for being settled by the Mormon pioneers. It was nicknamed the "Beehive State" for its resourseful and frugal people. That spirit still lives today. However, the state has become rather diverse. People of many cultures, religions, and philosophies, find this a great place to live. Many large corporations call Utah their headquarters, and many small businesses thrive on the production of thier unique products.
 Utah can give you the feel of a small town, yet have connections to anywhere in the world on a grand scale. You can find solace in the wonderful rocky mountains hiking and camping in the summer. Then, just wait for the greatest snow on earth! The Utah powder is unique because of its salt content (no, it doesn't taste salty). If you love to hit the slopes, you have not lived until you take a quick 40 minute drive from the airport to the nearest slopes!
Not interested in the mountians? How about a romp in Nature's sandbox? At the south end of the state, you will find the most unique topography. Red sand, rocks, arches - natural monuments to our human insignificance.
Homemaking to Aerospace - we've got it all. We know how to can peaches, and build roller coasters! Take a look here, and I'm confident you will enjoy living here.
Now, the point here, is to interest you in finding a home in Utah. This I will gladly do as soon as you give me the word. Contact me with no obligation via phone or email.
A few other tidbits about Utah are:
* Yes, it is a "dry heat". Utah is a desert state, however, we have 4 distinct seasons. * Mormons comprise about 50% of the population, but as I stated before, Utah is suprisingly diverse in both religion and culture. We have a fabulous ballet - Ballet West, and the Utah Sympnony. There are art festivals yearly, and do not forget sports (my second love). Of course, you have heard of the Utah Jazz. We also have minor league baseball - The Bees (a farm of the California Angels), and Mojor League Soccer - Real Salt Lake. Football? Well, I wish there was an NFL team here - most fans lean to SF (Steve Young was our boy), the Raiders (because they hate Denver), or Denver (because they hate the Raiders). Either way, the premier rivalry is in college - The University of Utah vs BYU.
