I used to live in Evanston, Wy. and we trekked over to SLC a bunch.
It has to be the easiest place to get around in. all the streets run parallel, and the avenues also. (no, not to each other

)
The people are friendly.
And, should you decide to "sin" you are only a few hours away from Wendover, Nv.
And the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Lots of great four wheelin!
If I had to go back to living somewhere cold, it would be tops on the list.
The only bad thing that I can think of is they do have state income tax.
