CULTURE & HISTORY   

Below is an article from http://www.backcountryutah.com/Articles/Altitude.htm

Culture.† Ancient and modern. Shaped and nurtured by so many, so diverse. The Anasazi and Fremont of yesteryear. The Ute, Navajo, Paiute, Shoshoni and Goshute of today. Fathers Escalante and Dominguez. Mormon Pioneers. Major John Wesley Powell. Upscale (yes, upscale) Salt Lake City and Park City. Rural central and eastern towns and villages. Small communities with services for outdoor recreation just outside national parks, national recreation areas and boating venues. State-of-the-art ski resorts offering the highest quality warm-weather recreation and facilities. Petroglyphs and pictographs left as a reminder of the ancients. Archeology, paleontology and geology to boggle the mind.

Finally, Utah citizens are the first to admit that this is not Paris, London or San Francisco. But contrary to popular opinion, you can get a drink here, and Mormons don’t dress differently. We do have fine restaurants and private clubs, but probably not as many as you have at home. But we have welcomed the world, and we welcome you now. Come to Utah. Come to see why we think it’s the top of the world.
