My mother spent a ton of time exploring the west on her motorcycle(s). Utah was her favorite place of all. I had a friend move to SLC for work and lasted 2 years. She hated it but was mostly a "people and personality" thing vs the landscape. As a devout Catholic, she never felt welcome.
I'd like to go visit UT, seems gorgeous as much of the mountain west does but if I was to throw a dart as a place to live - I think I'd hope it hits Wyoming or Idaho.
