Utah Flower Facts
Utah is 'The Beehive State'. Mormon settlers first came to the Salt Lake Valley in 1847 and pushed for the establishment of the State of Deseret – in the Book of Mormons 'Deseret' means 'honeybee'. The nickname has been adopted as a representation of the virtues espoused by Mormon settlers that shaped the values of the land: industry, perseverance, thrift, stability, and self-reliance.
The name "Utah" comes from the Native American "Ute" tribe and means people of the mountains. In the same manner, the Navajo Indians were referred to by the Apache as "Yuttahih" meaning "one that is higher up."
Suitably, Utah mountain peaks, on average, are the highest in the country. Utah's tall order could only be matched by its literacy rate, considerably the highest in the nation. Also, Utah is by far the least populous U.S. state to have a major professional sports league franchise, the Utah Jazzof the NBA, playing in Salt Lake City. Other professional sports teams quartered in Utah are the Utah Grizzlies Hockey club of the International Hockey League and the Utah Starzz of the WNBA.
Utah tourism heavily promotes its world-renowned ski resorts, boasting of light, fluffy snow spread in miles of exciting terrains. In addition, Utah has five national parks: Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce and Capitol Reef; two national recreation areas: Flaming Gorge and Glen Canyon; seven national monuments: Cedar Breaks, Natural Bridges, Dinosaur, Rainbow Bridge, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Timpanogos Cave and Hovenweep; and, six national forests: Ashley, Dixie, Fishlake, Manti-LaSal, Uinta, and Wasatch-Cache.
