I'm not advertising for more people to move here (Utah is already one of the fastest growing states, by percentage), but it's hard to beat an area where one can be an hour from elk hunting, or an hour from symphony and ballet.
I live in Ogden, and have good eateries, good stores and everything I could want. I'm also 200 yards from the boundary of the National Forest, half mile from a trout river, 15 minutes from world-class skiing, same distance from a nice reservoir and a bit more to a rifle range. I have mule deer feed in my yard many nights, and I can hear pheasant and coyotes many evenings. The scenery? Whoa!
Utah is a CCW state with low crime and family values.
On the other hand taxes are outrageous, the Mormon church does tend to make adulthood illegal or at least frowned on, and wages are low.
But in general, the West has everywhere else beat hands down for great living. Pick Utah or Wyoming or Idaho or Montana or Nevada or Colorado or Arizona or South Dakota and you can't go wrong.
