This isn't to say you need to up and go become a Mormon, but people tend to have a certain way of doing things there and dislike when people move in and try to change things. Utah natives with ancestral roots tend to be extremely independent and self-sufficient. They love their guns and their religion, but are some of the hardest workers and generally nicest people that you'll meet. Of course there's the odd sanctimonious jerk, but if you respect the people, they'll usually respect you back.
The trouble comes in when you get transplants who move in, especially from big cities, who start bitching about Mormons and trying to get anti-gun legislation passed. Acknowledging that the state was settled by people who pretty much lived out an innawoods /k/-style happening, this doesn't go over all that well.
Utah has god-tier innawoods. As long as you're willing to tolerate the native religion and generally go with the flow, you'll do fine. Just be aware that you can only get booze from a state liquor store and lots of stuff is closed on Sunday.
Pic related was a favorite haunt of mine. It was closer than Zion National Park, generally less busy, and absolutely gorgeous in the summer, especially when the wildflowers were in bloom.
