>>1206722>Any trees?Depends on what type. Practically every city in Utah is about 5-30 minutes away from evergreen trees. Likewise, within that same time you can hit cedar and juniper. That USFS lands have most of the Aspen stands, including Pando.
When you think of Utah, think of a bunch of cities that border high deserts in one direction and mountain ranges on the other. So if you want to fish or stick to the wooded areas you'd go East, if you wanted to hit up the deserts for ATV'ing or coyote hunting you'd head West. Either direction you're looking at at-most 30 minutes to get where you want to go in either direction.
>and im used to hardwood forests and just about anything growing if you plant itPlenty of hardwood forests in Utah, but you don't get that lush vegetation like the South. Also mentioned in this thread is the low humidity, but I personally enjoy low humidity.
>>1206930>Nice places for family and hiking. I would rather my girls dated Mormons than niggers.You'll lose your girls to the religion if they go down that route. If you're not LDS yourself or have a falling out, while your daughters have families and stay religious, you'll get to a point where they'll hardly, if ever, talk to you again. That's a dangerous game.
Utah has amazing scenery. If you're /out/ and you decide to hit up Utah, there's a good chance you'll consider moving here. There are some places (slot-canyons of SoUT and Zion) that are so surreal you won't even believe the place you visited could actually exist. But there are a few places peppered around the U.S. that are like that and it's hard to compare them to each other cause they're all spectacular in their own way.
Honestly, there's no doubt in my mind that North Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado... treated as one region, make up the most beautiful /out/ scenery in the world that is traversable without substantial effort.
