THE BEEHIVE STATE — Utah is a gorgeous and unique place, and that's why I have chosen to live most of my life here. It's likely the same reason many of you have chosen to do the same. We know of the beauty and variety the state provides, as well as the good people.

Kindness is usually in abundance. Diversity is growing. And unlike most places, we actually have four seasons — even if fall and spring are little too short.

All-in-all Utah is a pretty great place, but a lot of people don't know about our little gem here. Now, this guy is letting the cat out of the bag.

Nuseir Yassin is the creator of the Facebook page Nas Daily and for 1,000 days he made 1,000 videos showing off the beauty of planet Earth. He wrapped up his 1,000-video project and has now committed to making 100 videos for 100 weeks, and the latest one is about what he calls "America's Secret State": Utah.

Yassin shows off much of the beauty of the Beehive state in his short video and goes onto explain what makes it so great and unique. While I don't agree with all of his statements — I sweat like a pig all the time — I do think he's right about how special our square state is. We may not have the flash of the coastal states or the reputation of a Chicago or a Texas, but we have a lot to offer. It's fun to see a world traveler like Yassin take notice and care enough to share our home with his millions of followers.

Thanks for visiting, Yassin. You're welcome any time, and we'd love to host you and your friends and show you some more great spots you may have missed.

Also, I'm pretty sure I have to point out that it is not OK to trespass even if the landowner is friendly (watch the video for explanation).

I understand that most sports record holders are human. But there’s gotta be an "Air Bud"-style exception somewhere, right?
