four-wheeling, mountain biking or horseback riding, you can

Winter Olympics! Business travelers will find accommodations

Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Visitors can hear the Sunday
broadcast at 9:30 a.m. or attend a free rehearsal on
Thursday evenings. And if you have time for recreation,
you'll be happy to know that there are 11 ski resorts

| Historical
Note: The
state of Utah is named after the Ute tribe. The Ute once lived
over much of Utah and all of western Colorado. In historic
times, they ranged well onto the great plains of eastern Colorado
into Nebraska and south into New Mexico. In historic times,
there were at least 11 different bands of the Ute Tribe. The
Ute lived by hunting, fishing, gathering and trading with
other Native American groups in the region. Housing consisted
of brush structures and conical shaped tipis made from animal
skins. During the late 1800s, the Ute lost most of their lands
and were restricted to reservations in southern Colorado and
northeastern Utah. |
