Recently Husband and I took a business trip to Utah. I have never been there before and I must say that it is an absolutely gorgeous state. The views of the snow-capped mountains were absolutely spectacular to say the least. We had one free day to take in some of the sites and since we didn't have a car we decided to do some of the things that were within walking distance. We walked by the Mormon Temple which was a phenomenal structure.
I took a picture of it at night (unfortunately that picture is still on the phone but trust me, it was spectacular)! This we could not tour because 1) You have to be Mormon and 2) If you're Mormon you need a sponsor in order to be able to get in. Based on what it looks like from the outside I'm fairly certain it was just as spectacular on the inside. We also saw the pipe organ of Temple Square and that was a site to behold indeed!
I will admit that I was a tad bit concerned that we would not be able to secure libations due to the high Mormon population -- which I learned so much about! It was very interesting -- however we did find some great places to eat and a pretty nice bar called Squatters which made and sold their own beer. I am not a beer drinker so I will have to take Husbands word for it that it was good.
Utah is a very beautiful state. As I said the views of the mountains were spectacular and I can only imagine what it looks like in the spring and summer. Unfortunately we did not get to do any skiing but I suppose that this just means we will have to return at a later date.
