Actually, yes Utah does have many beaches. The first and foremost important beach is that of the great salt lake. It is one of the largest bodies of water in north America. And it is very salty, sometimes 13 more time salty then the Pacific ocean. So it is a year round attraction and it is wonderful to visit in the winter, because the water never freezes.

If you're interested in becoming a Utah DWR conservation officer, you should take some important steps before submitting a résumé:
- Obtain a bachelor's degree in wildlife science, biology or a related field. (You could also obtain a degree in criminal justice and minor in biology.)
- Work in a natural-resource field (in a seasonal or full-time position).
- Get to know your local conservation officer. This is a great way to learn more about the job and the level of commitment it requires.

If you meet the initial screening requirements, DWR personnel will interview you and begin an in-depth testing process, which includes:
- A comprehensive background investigation
- A physical test, including cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, strength, flexibility and swimming
- A written aptitude test
- An oral board interview with four officers and a biologist
- A polygraph exam
- A psychological exam
- A medical exam (following the Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines)
If you test successfully, you may be hired as a conservation officer trainee. You must then attend Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST), a 13-week program at the Salt Lake City Police Academy.
After POST, there is a three-month Field Training Officer program you must also pass in order to graduate and become an officer. After graduation, the DWR assigns new officers to areas across the state.

There is no leader of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) specifically over the state of Utah. The closest position would be Elder Steven E. Snow, one of the seven presidents of the Seventy. He presides over the Utah North, Utah Salt Lake City, and Utah South areas of the Church. Some of these area boundaries extend into neighboring states, so he oversees more than just Utah. Also, some parts of northwestern Utah are in the boundaries of the Idaho Area, which is overseen by Elder Donald L. Halstrom, another of the seven presidents of Seventy.
"Areas" within the Mormon church are geographical groups of several stakes (a stake is a group of congregations). Utah is unique in being split into so many areas, due to the large Mormon population. Other areas are much larger (for example, the North America Northwest Area covers the east coast of the US And Canada from the northern border of California all the way to Alaska; and the Europe Area covers every European country west of Belarus and Ukraine.) Leaders are not assigned over a certain city, state, province, or country but over a geographical area covering a certain number of members.
The worldwide headquarters of the Mormon Church is located in Utah, and most of the international leadership lives in Utah. The leader of the entire church is Thomas S. Monson.
So, to summarize:
The leader of all Mormons, who happens to live in Utah: Thomas S. Monson:
The leader of Mormons who live in Utah: not an existent position; Steven E. Snow and Donald L. Halstrom oversee Utah and portions of bordering states.
