Cities of Utah
Utah lies in the western United States, in the dry mountain country between the Rocky Mountains and the deserts of the Great Basin. Most people live along a narrow strip at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, known as the Wasatch Front. The capital is Salt Lake City, which is also the state's largest city and is famous for the huge Great Salt Lake beside it.
On this map you fly past real places like West Valley City, Provo, Orem, Ogden and Logan in the north, and the red-rock town of Moab in the southeast. Around them rise the Uinta Mountains, the peaks of Kings Peak and the La Sal range, and waters such as Utah Lake, Bear Lake and the Green River.
Hop in the helicopter and find every place in Utah at your own pace — a fun, free way for kids and grown-ups to learn the map of this mountainous desert state.
