Utah at a Glance
The Greatest Snow on Earth
With an average annual snowfall of 12.7 meters and one of the

“the Greatest Snow on Earth.” It’s also home to rushing rapids,
extensive salt flats and colorful canyons.

DiscoverAmerica.com.
Capital: Salt Lake City
Population: More than 2.8 million people live in
Utah.
Geography: Located in the western United States, Utah
shares a border with Idaho to the north, Wyoming to the northeast,
Colorado to the east, New Mexico to the southeast, Arizona to the
south and Nevada to the west. Converging on one point with
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, Utah is also one of the “four
corners” states. Its terrain includes colorful canyons and its
famous snow-covered peaks.
Higher Education: Founded in 1850, the University of Utah
(U of U) is the state’s oldest institution of higher education. The
public research university is located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and
serves an undergraduate population of about 23,000 students. U of U
offers more than 100 undergraduate programs and 90 graduate
programs from its 18 schools and colleges including the state’s
only school of medicine. U of U’s friendly rival is neighbor
Brigham Young University (BYU). Founded in 1875, BYU is a private
university located in Provo, Utah. Affiliated with the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU is the largest religiously
affiliated university in the United States. It serves a student
population of around 30,000. BYU awards bachelor’s, master’s and
doctoral degrees through programs at its 11 colleges and schools.
The school offers courses in more than 60 languages and 70 percent
of its students speak a second language, making it one of the most
multilingual universities in the United States.
Major Industries: Utah’s burgeoning tourism, aerospace,
biomedical and computer industries complement its historically
major industries of mining and agriculture. The Beehive State’s top
mined products include petroleum, copper and natural gas. Utah is
the country’s leading producer of molybdenum and potassium. Its
major agriculture outputs include cattle, dairy, hogs, hay and
nursery products. Utah’s five national parks and exceptional skiing
opportunities make it a top tourist destination. Private health
care, hotels and resorts, engineering companies and software
development companies are the state’s major service
industries.
Sports Teams: Utahns have two professional teams to cheer:
the National Basketball Association’s Utah Jazz and Major League
Soccer's Real Salt Lake.

Western and Mormon traditions, Utah’s cuisine features a range of
culinary specialties. The state’s most distinct offering is fry
sauce. Created by the founder of Arctic Circle restaurants, fry
sauce is a pink concoction of ketchup, mayonnaise, pickle relish
and secret spices. The condiment is so popular in the Beehive State
that nearly every restaurant has its own version. The state is also
famous for its Utah scones. These scones are nothing like the
English version. Instead, they are handfuls of sweet dough, deep
fried, slathered with whipped honey butter and sprinkled with
powdered sugar. Incidentally, Utahns also consume more Jell-O per
capita than any other state in the union. Their favorite flavor?
Lime.
