Utah
Utah is known as the home of the Mormon population. The Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City took over 40 years to fully complete. If you're not Mormon though, don't worry, there are still fun things to experience in Utah. Since the state is inland, it's unusually dry. This gives the snow great powder, giving it the reputation as being the greatest powder to ski on in the world.
Texas
Everything is bigger in Texas, even the appetites. As you might expect from this photo, Texas had a cattle population of nearly 16 million. It also has been held under 6 different nations but has had 8 changes in government. These six were Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate States, and the United States. It was held under Spain twice and the US twice.
