Idk, maybe? I'm near SLC, which has gorgeous mountains and excellent skiing, and wonderful national parks a short drive away.

I do enjoy Utah but could never live with the beer there :D

They lifted the stupid alcohol limit for grocery store beer, so that part of the problem is solved.

Yup. Still have a BAC limit of 0.05, but hey, we're at least out of the stone age.

I don't drink, so it doesn't bother me, but I have plenty of coworkers who were happy for the change. Next step, allow wine to be sold in grocery stores so you can buy holiday drinks on holidays...

I once bought a bottle of wine at the old state store. I was on a road trip with my gf at the time and oh boy did those ladies at the counter glare at us like we were degenerates! There are worse things than being tight about alcohol, I guess.

Years later I proposed to my now wife in Bryce Canyon. We were staying in Kanab, which was a delightful little spot. Greyhound owners meetup was going on at the time so there were adorable dogs everywhere. Nice UT memories.

Yeah, people here can certainly be judgy. But I'm guessing that was quite a while ago, things have improved a lot since then.

And Bryce Canyon is gorgeous. We went there on our honeymoon because we only had a few days, and I'm excited to take my kids there in the near future. It's pretty far away from the highway, so I'm glad you were able to visit. Most visitors tend to stick to Zion or Arches, but there are so many other pretty parks here, and they're gorgeous year round (I think Bryce is extra pretty in the winter).
