| Description |
A natural choice for Utah's flag, the honeybee or "Deseret" as it was called by the early pioneers, is a symbol of cooperative work and dedication to community. The three stripes of the flag represent Utah's location at the convergence of three distinct geological regions: the Rocky Mountains, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau. Red symbolizes the power of our unified community White symbolizes the snow that graces Utah's beautiful peaks, providing water to the state and recreational opportunities. Blue symbolizes our commitment to progress |
