    Find Local Rates In Utah

    Surrounded by Nevada, Idaho, Colorado and New Mexico, the state of Utah can often be considered the center of the U.S. west. Known as the nation's capital for the Church of Latter-Day Saints, Utah offers an abundance of farm regions, mountains, natural beauty, mining industry, and tourism. Salt Lake City, the capitol, represents one the largest urban areas of the state, but Utah also include the cities of Ogden, Park City, Logan, Provo, Sandy and more. Bryce National Park, for example, is a major draw as the amazing scene of its slowing eroding spires dazzles, especially in the evening sun. With Salt Lake City a former Winter Olympics site, the state draws a heavy crowd for its ski resorts in the winter.

    Home to nearly 3 million Americans, the Beehive State is America's 33rd largest. By area, however, it is in the top 15, with a total landmass of 85,000 square miles. Gross state product is $130 billion annually, with per capita income of around $45,000.
