Utah vs Colorado.
What state has better, bigger, and more mountains? I'm in the slc utah area. I feel like the only respectable mountains in utah are the Wasatch and the Uintah mountains. At least compared to Colorado. Utah seems to have a lot more open endless land, whereas Colorado seems like civilization goes right up to the mountains. Does anybody have any insight on this?

Re: Utah vs Colorado.
Neither.
Re: Utah vs Colorado.
Colorado has higher mountains, but Utah's typically rise higher above the valley floors. Both states have a lot of alpine territory, but Colorado has more alpine areas. Utah actually has more mountains and less flat land.
Utah has a much higher number of harder and technical peaks, but most are in the desert.
Colorado has a lot more private land and more access issues.
Both states have a nice canyon country, but Utah's is better.
Utah is overall wilder, but of course the mountains around Salt Lake and the Wasatch Front see huge crowds.
The government of Colorado is much more friendly towards public lands than Utah's. Someone needs to kick the a-- of terrorist Utah politicans like Mike Lee.

Re: Utah vs Colorado.
Heading west on highway 24 towards Buena Vista has views of a massive wall of mountains. They are what I think are the biggest mountains I have ever seen. What mountain range is that?

Re: Utah vs Colorado.
Has Jbrow even ever done a hike or climbed a peak or does he just like to ask the same questions over and over again? Serious question. Jbrow, have you even taken all of the good information that has been given to you by members of the forum and even used it?
