Pioneer Day, a day of patriotism and heritage for Utahns. And what a day it was this year. Utahns set aside work for a little R&R to celebrate the day, July 24, 1847, when Mormon pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley. What did Utahns do this year? You name it: catching a ball game, riding the roller coasters, hitting the water slides, even a little yoga. We present the day in photos.
