These are the Wastach Mountains. So rugged, snow-topped & beautiful! It is the western edge of the greater Rocky Mountains and the eastern edge of the Great Basin region. In the language of the native Ute people, Wasatch means "mountain pass" or "low pass over high range." Today, 85% of Utah's population lives within 15 miles (24 km) of the Wasatch Range, mainly in the valleys just to the west. This westside concentration is known as the Wasatch Front and has a population of well over 2,000,000. Salt Lake City lies between the Wasatch Range and the Great Salt Lake. They are sculpted by glaciers, yielding notably rugged, sweeping upland scenery
And the not-so-beautiful, weird boxy homes in Salt Lake City which are ALL OVER. Each Mormon "Ward" (parish) with its own "Chapel" (church) with their larger "Temple" connecting many wards. The population of Salt Lake City used to be 87% Mormon, but has decreased to 49%.
