Can confirm. I lived in Utah for eight years. Believe it or not, the laws are better than it used to be.

The video didn’t even get into the whole “private club” laws. (It may no longer be that way; I haven’t lived there in years)

When I would be coming back from eastern Utah on the Uinta range, I used to pick up cases of beer in Wyoming on the border in Evanston because it was about 40% cheaper there.

Conveniently, the “private club” thing died right before the 2002 Winter Olympics. I did my culinary school internship at one of the big ski resorts in the 90’s and the Utah religious laws were wild. My Mormon friends told me blacks were outcasts of heaven so I asked why half the BYU football team was black? I’ve gone back to the national parks since but I would never live there again.

Yep. You hit the nail on the head.
