Utah is home to nearly 2.7 million "People of the Mountains." The meaning behind the state's name was derived from the Native American tribe ‘Ute'. This name is most fitting for Utah's eye-catching formations and friendly residents. Similarly, the "Beehive State," is probably best known for its settlers that were members of the Mormon or Latter Day Saints Church and is often synonymous with its association with the prominent church.
The state covers nearly 85,000 square miles and the countryside is a bit more of a desert than some may realize. The state is home to one of the most beautiful and dynamic attractions around known as Bryce National Park with its breathtaking red rock, sandstone hoodoos and mazes. Utah is also famous for Zion National Park and for having affordable apartments that are a stone's throw from nature.
