Utah
Are you thinking about a place to travel with not a lot of time in a plane? How about bundles of fun attractions? Is shopping what you do best? Maybe you’re more of a nature person. If any of these describe you than you would have a blast in Utah!
I think that the history of Utah is really interesting. In the 1600’s Indians had come in the area. 224 years later Jim Bridger discovered the Great Salt Lake. After that in 1847 the Mormon pioneers came to Utah and only 3 years later it became part of the US territory. The next big event was in 1896 when Utah was voted the 45th state and in 1996 Utah celebrated its 100th birthday! Sadly in 1999 an immense tornado hit and caused over $100,000,000 worth of damage. It didn’t help that 3 years later the 2002 winter Olympics were in Utah.
Holding the Olympics is not easy; Utah figured that out in 2002. The first problem they ran into was seating for spectators. The Olympic Committee turned to the University of Utah. They were going to use their stadium but it only had 32,000 seats when they needed 50,000 chairs. The university got to work and added about 18,000 seats. Then the committee realized that the athletes needed a place to stay. Again the University of Utah built all new dorms for the athlete’s village. Those are only 2 of the many problems Utah overcame to host a fantastic Olympics!
If you were going to Utah, the Olympic Park would definitely be somewhere you would want to stop and visit. It has the world’s highest altitude ski jumps and the fastest sliding track. The park also has bobsleds that you can still ride in today. The bobsleds travel up to 70 miles per hour with 4 G's of force. When visiting the Olympic Park you can get a guided tour of the museum or you ca...

It created champions to future Olympic hopefuls. The Warrior Dome was top notch in the state even though so many swimmers hated it because of the ceiling and the triangular formations, when middle/high school competed in backstroke it was very hard to stay in line to avoid hitting the lane ropes. Not only were there Olympic hopefuls, but many swimmers have kept record to this day. Not just school records but Wyoming 3A state records. The following have the fastest time in the state for 3A high schools such as Guy Fulfer and Will Vietti. Both of t...

There were many key factors that contributed to Colorado’s powerful growth. Various states like Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Oklahoma, all had many residents that moved to Colorado. A lot of these people were either looking for work or living their life out in retirement. They were settling in towns and cities that were not so large but this was a big contribution to Colorado’s growth in the 1940s (Abbott, Leonard, Noel, pp. 318, 2013). Colorado continued to grow and flourish well into the 1950s.

Utah is known to have the best snow on earth, we have beautiful scenery, relaxation and recreation all within minutes of our front door. But what about that dirty air that seems to last for months? Utah has four of the nations 100 largest oil fields, which produces 1.2% of the nation’s output, with 3,600 active wells. Utah ranks 11th in the nation of oil production, and we have five refineries in the Salt Lake area that can produce 175,500 barrels of oil per day (House,2012). The major effect of these practices, is the effect of air pollution along the Wasatch Front and the serious health consequences on children, teens and adults.
The canyon is a part of what is now the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, an area of land first acquired through the Louisiana Purchase. In this painting, the observer may notice many features which stand out. In the background, the image depicts a large, rocky ravine, occupied by a river and rows of trees. The river leads to a large orb of light, presumably stemming from a fire. In the foreground, two men are seen standing on a cliff above the ravine, presumably in awe at the wondrous land they have just discovered in the distance. Behind the men is an untraveled area of
Very little clothing is required. There is very little pressure, very little rush, and very little reminiscent of the world. The Cancun area is undeniably a fabulous place to take a vacation. It has luxurious hotels, exciting activities, and mysterious sightseeing tours.
Located just beyond the south entrance to the park is the visitors center and ranger station. Here you can find maps to trails, information about camping, fishing and boating, and information about the flora and fauna to be found within the park. This is a good place to start your visit, get oriented, and plan your day.
Colorado is such a beautiful state. It brings in a lot of outsiders but not only for its beauty, but for its history as well. Travelers and tourists have been visiting Colorado since before the 19th century. However, during the 19th century, the development of Colorado boomed greatly because of its iconic people and the fact that so many travelers and tourists enjoyed seeing Colorado. The people contributed to making Colorado history more appealing to tourists so the state really emerged. Tourism has led Colorado to great lengths and still to this day, Colorado brings in many travelers and tourists.
Montana is a part of the country that many people do not know much about its history. Montana is divided into two parts, East and West. Eastern Montana is part of the Northern Great Plains and has played pivotal roles in American history since the early 1800’s. Western Montana is a history made up of gold rushes and the Copper King Marcus Daly. The history of Montana is that of many tales from Montanan Indian Tribes going back hundreds and thousands of years before American expansion into the region. On the other side we have white settlers from areas throughout the US and European countries, especially settlers from Germany and the Scandinavian countries. The settlers were brought to Montana by the promise of the American Dream of having a chance at striking it rich from mining or having the chance of owning your own piece of land from the Enlarged Homestead Act.
