Besides their 2A freedoms, they have some of the best offroading in the US.

I read/skimmed the article and am confused what is google fiber?

Sigh.

Every since a fantastic trip out there camping and hiking with my son back in 2009, I've been in love with the place. Moab, Arches NP, Zion NP, SLC... It's gorgeous there and there is so much to do , so much land and so much freedom.

Arguably the fastest, cheapest, & most reliable high speed internet available to consumers. Its Google's high speed internet service. They make Verizon, Comcast, & Cablevision the CTD of internet providers.

Thanks

This covers it pretty well (NSFW Language):

 

Yeah basically google fiber is 1 gigabit (1000 Mbps) internet service plus TV service. They've done a lot of innovation with it, even on the TV side. The only drawback is that the TV stations in Utah are owned by the LDS church so they cut out all the violence and language.

With such a large gun population.... I wonder if this is the reason there aren't mass shootings there...

Spent a week out there last June. SLC, Moab, Zion & Bryce Canyon. Beautiful state.

I think it's more of a culture thing. Mormons in general are very family oriented and a tight knit community. They also take their duty to God and their fellow man very seriously.

The people are the most civil you could meet out there. The culture is very different. I was there for a spell just before the Olympics in Salt Lake City and I distinctly never recall hearing a horn blare in city traffic. It was the quietest city traffic I ever walked through.
