It's in Utah, I lived in Park City for 17 1/2 years:

Seriously, compared to Virginia, Utah is Shangri La, well for me anyways. I know you're religious so that aspect of Utonian culture shouldn't be an issue for you, but I feel it puts too many people off... even though they are religious Utahites are still rather normal people. When I mention Utah to anyone the first thing I'm asked is "Are you Mormon?". No, I'm not LDS, but why don't you people inquire about other things like Flaming Gorge, the Cottonwood Canyons, Hidden Lake or one of hundreds or mountainous caves... it's always religion
.
Well I can't complain too much, more skiing and less crowding on the slopes for the rest of us

On your way south try to stop by Moab and check the native culture, especially the petroglyphs:

Mount Zion National Park is amazing too... the whole state is amazing. Seriously People Utah Is Amazing!!! The only downsides are 70 mph winds, inversion and the occasional valley-wide stench of "lake" - from the Salt Lake.

Oh, and I have a sister (three of them, one brother) that goes to Utah State... just saying

Gah!!! I've got such bad "Utah envy" right now. Freud would not be impressed.
