About the Class:Utah's landscape is a beautiful as its history. This course is designed to help students understand the great state of Utah at a deeper level by reviewing the state’s early history, founding, and geography.
Starting with the earliest known natives, we’ll travel thru time to today's booming business economy. We will examine the relationship between people and their environment and the effect of geography on people and settlement. Archives
