Utah's State Flag

A little bit about Utah:

Utah was the 45th state to join the United Statues of America, and is currently the 11th largest state in the Union. It is located in western central USA, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The state's southeastern corner borders on Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado, which is the only point in the US where four states meet.

Utah was first settled by Mormons in 1847 seeking religious freedom, and currently has the second lowest death rate of any state in the US, perhaps due to the religious convictions of its Mormon population concerning eating, drinking and smoking.

Utah has a very diverse landscape. It is a land of high mountains, fertile valleys, spectacular canyons and great deserts. Utah is known for its Great Salt Lake, which has a saline content of 20-25% (compare that to the 4% saline content of most ocean water). It is also home to geological wonders, such as Natural Bridges, Timpanogas Cave, and Dinosaur.
