13 Things Everyone Who’s Moved Away From Utah Has Thought At Least Once

The Beehive State has so much to offer, but we often take it for granted. Sometimes, we even move away, only to miss what we once had. We can’t imagine why anyone would want to leave Utah, but sometimes career, school and life in general takes people away. Here’s what we’ve heard from our friends and family that grew up here and now live elsewhere.

1. "I miss the mountains..."

2. "...and the lakes..."

3. "...and those sweeping Utah vistas that stretch out clear to the horizon."

4. "Utah people are the best."

5. "And it was also nice to find some solitude in the great outdoors."

6. "Utah's water recreation was so easily accessible."

6. "Hiking in Utah was the best way to spend an afternoon."

6. "Now that I've skied elsewhere, I know that the snow in the Beehive State really is the best in the world!"

7. "Utah has a nice mix of cities..."

8. "and rural towns. It was great to be able to visit both with just a short drive."

9. "I took seeing wildlife all the time for granted while I lived in Utah."

10. "I wish I had fully appreciated Utah's National Parks while I lived in the Beehive State."

11. "We had some great times as a family in Utah - I miss living in such a family-friendly state."

12. "Utah road trips were the best by far."

13. "I want to go home."
