  From ancient Indians to contemporary scientists Utah is synonymous with the pioneer spirit and cultural heritage. Mormon pioneers first came to Utah in 1847 and to a large extent succeeded in transforming what many regarded as a wasteland into a thriving state. From the stark salt flats of the Great Basin to the towering mountain peaks of the Wasatch, to Southern Utah's improbably beautiful red rock canyons, there are 5 national parks and almost countless other acres of equally splendid, publicly owned deserts and forest.
