Utah is the state where I live in.
Cool things about Utah: Beautiful Rocky Mountains on the egde of Salt Lake City, home of several ski resorts, many wonderful hiking opportunities, a lot of beautiful animals to see such as elks, moose, etc..., beautiful desert in the southern parts of the state, several national parks, beautiful sight of Monument Valley, etc...
Worst of Utah: monopoly of the public life by the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints, pollution trapped by the mountains in the wintertime (a.k.a. inversion layers), a red state (dominately republicans), avalanches (mostly due to people's irresponsible behaviours in the outbacks), mudslides (mostly due to developpers' unwillingness to leave mountains alone, building numerous houses on mountains), silly Salt Lake law that requires all residents to maintain green grass landscape, etc...
