Utah Real Estate has
one of the least populous states and one of the most geologically
diverse, Utah is one of the most astoundingly beautiful areas in
the southwest. Utah consists of three geologic regions: Great Basin,
Rocky Mountains and Colorado Plateau. The Great Basin is a large
arid region of the U.S., and in Utah, transpires in the Great Salt
Lake and its miles of deserts. The Rocky Mountains in Utah contain
world-class ski resorts, and contributed to the appeal of Utah as
host of the 2002 Winter Olympics. The Colorado Plateau is centered
around the Four Corners region in the southwestern corner of the
state and consists of many picturesque mesas and abundant mineral
deposits. Although Europeans may have ventured into the area as
early as 1540, a group led by two Catholic priests left from Santa
Fe in 1776 hoping to find a route to the Pacific coast certainly
traveled as far north as Utah Lake. In 1847, when the region was
still a Mexican territory, Mormons settled in the area to escape
disputes with the U.S. government stemming from the Mormon practice
of polygamy.
