I think this is a fair question considering the thread (and maybe a welcome distraction) but how are you liking Utah overall? It's a state that isn't really on my radar but maybe it should be. I certainly dig the landscape.
It's an odd place. There are several things I absolutely love about it and there are several things I actively dislike about it.
As for what I like, you're right, the landscape is incredible. I can step outside my front door and I'm greeted by Mount Olympus. This is from the spring, but this is what I see every time I walk outside:
I can dig that and it's better than Michigan where all I saw was cornfields. I also like that within four hours I can be to one of five National Parks with some of the most incredible scenery I've ever seen. If I want to go into the mountains to screw around, it's no more than a 30-minute drive up the canyon, which is something I actually do pretty frequently since my little dude likes going around twisty roads. Finally, within two hours I can be on the Bonneville Salt Flats, which is one of my favorite places to go.
As for not scenic things, the economy is strong, crime is relatively low, the people are mostly friendly, the traffic isn't too bad, and the weather is better than Michigan. We still get snow, but it's typically from December through February with the occasional freak snowstorm March-May...and occasional June, like what happened on Sunday.
For what I don't like, as
@TexRex mentions, if you drink this isn't the most ideal state. Alcohol is controlled in a weird way and it's extremely expensive. Thankfully, some of the laws are being relaxed and I can now buy 5% ABV beer in the grocery store. Or I can always go to Park City where the alcohol laws are mostly ignored and the state turns a blind eye to it because of tourism. Past that, the LDS Church has its hand in nearly everything. The laws, our elected officials, businesses, and even the food. It's a huge culture shock at first because Utah is essentially a theocracy where a majority of the state does whatever the LDS Church tells them to do. It's starting to change, but it's certainly weird.
As for the food, the food here is...interesting. The Jell-O thing is absolutely true and I've had some concoctions that make no sense what so ever. I mean you ever had green Jell-O with carrots and pretzels in it? Fry sauce is another peculiar thing and it goes on everything. You know when you were a kid and at McDonald's and you just mixed all the condiments together? Ya that's fry sauce with some extra spices throw-in. I find it vile, but people love it. The other thing I've yet to understand is pickle pie, which is exactly what it sounds like. Picture a mixture of pickle relish mixed with an unholy amount of sugar and baked into a pie. It's somewhere between tasting like acid reflux and a sweet hot dog.
It's not to say there isn't good food though. Burgers come with a healthy helping of pastrami on them, which was a game-changer for me. Latin American food is common and I get some killer tacos from the illegal, non-health department inspected taco cart that roams around the city. Navajo culture has also brought some good food too, especially fry bread, which is more or less like a fried pancake with honey and sugar on it. I ate so much of it when I went to the southern part of the state I thought I was going to be sick.
Another thing I hate about here is pollution. During the winter we get inversions and the air quality is terrible. During the winter of 2018-19, we had days where our air quality was worse than Bejing. In the summer it only gets that bad when we have massive fires burning, which has been fairly common the past two years. Thankfully, this is changing and the government finally understands that they need to do something. The big push right now is to have all state employees work from home when the air quality level hits orange. This would be a huge help.
Housing prices are freaking insane. Like I pay around $2,000 a month for my townhouse which isn't anything special. If I wanted a house, I'd need to pony up $750,000 to get something on par with my former $150,000 house back in Michigan.
Finally, the drivers. My god the drivers here are awful. Granted I learned to drive in Michigan which means I learned to drive offensively instead of defensively and to drive way to fast, regardless of the weather condition (85mph in a snowstorm? Bah). But here it's a whole other level of stupid. Running red lights is common, making right turns from the far left lane across three lanes of traffic is not atypical (called the Mormon Swing), and people sitting in the left lane doing 10 under isn't unheard of. I think we rank in the bottom five when the list of the "best drivers" list comes out. I've adapted but my god was it frustrating when I first moved here. BMW drivers do use their turn signals though, so there's that.
Overall, my plan was to live here for five years and then figure something else out. But so far my wife and I don't feel like we want to leave. Ideally, I want to go south, either to Arizona or New Mexico, but given how strong the economy is in Utah, it doesn't make sense to leave. My job pays really well and my wife gets a decent enough salary managing a barbershop. It's also a pretty good place to raise a family since everything is so family-focused.
