Ah, Pioneer Days aka the “Days of 47”. Hot sun. Parades, Closed banks & grocery stores. Pioneer regalia marching down the main streets of Utah’s biggest cities are all a tradition held every year in my beloved home state of rugged mountains and lush green valleys.
All these things can be experienced if you’re in Utah on July 24th. Pioneer Days is the celebration marking the day Brigham Young rolled into Utah with other Mormons who pushed their handcarts from Nauvoo after they were unceremoniously kicked out of town.
