Most forlorn: Wendover — not quite Utah, but not Nevada, either.

Prettiest: Vernal — especially during the summer when flower pots line Main Street.

Most difficult to get to: Rainbow City — requires a long trip into Arizona before doubling back into Utah.

Hardest to access: Dugway — requires security pass.

Most un-Utah looking: Columbia — houses are mostly "mining company housing"-style buildings.

Biggest tourist traps: Tie between Moab and Park City.

Most picturesque setting: Springdale — close to Zion's National Park.

Utah's best kept secrets: Alton and Clear Creek — one in Kane County, the other in Carbon County

Town I would most like to move to: Spring City — especially in the spring.
