Kearns
Few places in Utah have a history as closely tied to wartime military aviation as Kearns. The community grew around Kearns Army Air Base, opened in 1942 during World War II; after the base closed, its former grounds were developed for housing, schools and local services. Kearns is now part of the urban Salt Lake Valley, southwest of Salt Lake City, where broad streets connect residential neighbourhoods with commercial corridors. The Oquirrh Mountains rise along the valley’s western side, while the Wasatch Range defines its eastern edge. The Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns was built for the 2002 Winter Olympics and remains an important speed-skating venue.

Kearns occupies a broad section of Salt Lake Valley in northern Utah, west of Salt Lake City and between the Wasatch Range and Oquirrh Mountains. The community took shape around Kearns Army Air Base during the Second World War, a legacy reflected in its postwar suburban layout. Its best-known landmark is the Utah Olympic Oval, built for the 2002 Winter Olympics and the venue for that Games’ long-track speed-skating events. Today the oval remains a major training and competition centre, while nearby streets connect Kearns with the larger Salt Lake urban area.

Utah has functioned as a frontier region within the United States since the mid-19th century. Its terrain spans the Great Basin, the Wasatch Range and the Colorado Plateau, where red-rock canyons and high desert occupy much of the south and east. The Great Salt Lake is the state’s defining inland water body, while the Colorado River has carved some of its most dramatic canyon country. Salt Lake City grew from the 1847 settlement of Mormon pioneers, and Utah entered the Union in 1896. Five national parks, including Zion, Arches and Bryce Canyon, reflect the extraordinary variety of its protected landscapes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Utah.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
