Utah is bounded on the north by [[Idaho]] and [[Wyoming]], on the east by [[Colorado]], on the south by [[Arizona]], and on the west by [[Nevada Genealogy|Nevada]]. The country is crossed mostly from the north to south by mountains ranges, the principle one being the Wasatch Mountains (with peaks towering from 7,000 to over 12,000 feet in height), which might be termed the backbone of the state. This variation in attitude and consequent climate conditions permits the cultivation of a large variety of vegetables and cereals. <ref>Jenson, Andrew.
