Utah FlagOn a blue field, appears the state seal. In the center of the seal is a beehive, the state emblem, with a sego lily growing on either side. The sego lily stands for peace. The state motto "Industry" means steady effort. The date 1847 represents the year that Brigham Young led the Mormons to  Salt Lake Valley.  The date 1896 represents the year that Utah gained admission to the Union of the United States.

 

Welcome to Utah!

Utah is paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs alike.  Whether you come for the greatest snow on earth or to take a summer whitewater rafting trip, Utah offers a variety of landscapes and climates.  Follow the pioneer trails of the rugged wilderness, visit Old West outlaw hideouts, ski at more than a dozen winter resorts, and climb red rock canyons.  Utah has everything but the ocean!

With more than forty state parks, seven national monuments, twenty-nine scenic byways,  and a wealth of pioneer history, you are sure to find something to thrill you on your trip to Utah.  See Utah's famous attractions and lesser known, yet “worth-a-visit” sites in this beautiful state.

Enjoy your travels in Utah and welcome to the Legends of the Beehive State.
