The main source of income, however, is tourism. Its natural beauties attract millions of tourists every year to the state.

These attractions range from large chains of mountains conducive to skiing and rocks that, due to the erosion action, were excavated forming rocky "bridges", to the Great Salt Lake - the largest lake west of the Mississippi River, and It is four times saltier than seawater. Much of the state has a desert appearance and climate. The state and its history are marked by the great presence of Mormons. Mormons are part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. About 60% of the population of Utah are members of this religious association, whose head office is located in Salt Lake City. The Mormons settled initially in the region of the current state of Utah in 1847, and called the Deseret region-which means "honey bee," in the language of the Book of Mormon. In 1848, by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the United States annexed Utah, after its victory over Mexico during the US intervention in Mexico.

The US Congress created the Utah Territory in 1850 - giving the territory its name by the Amerindian tribe ute,"mountain people," who lived in the region. On January 4,1896, Utah became the 45th state of the United States.
