National Utah Day
We recognize each state in the order they entered the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We feature a small part of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to discover, we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.

Utah became the 45th state on January 4, 1896, and is home to The Great Salt Lake, a deeply embedded Native American heritage, and a far-reaching desert history.
Travel in the footsteps of Utah's namesake, the Utes, or the Shoshone, Navajo, or Goshute. Follow the trails of early explorers or Mormon settlers. They all lived in the natural arches and bridges that were built long ago. Utah's architectural wonders of nature are a pillar. These natural wonders of nature are a pillar.
You will find treasure everywhere you look. From the sunrise to the spiraling cliffs and the bejeweled night sky, the sunrise to the dawn. Catch an unobstructed view of the Milky Way for miles or schedule a trip just in time for a meteor shower. Since Utah has significantly less light pollution, night star viewing is spectacular.
By visiting Bonneville Salt Flats, discover why some people still believe the world flat. The salt flats were once part of a much larger lake, with land speed records and a barren setting. One of the few remains of the Great Salt Lake is the Great Salt Lake.
