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.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
