No experience living in SLC long term but I’ve heard enough to trust your judgement.
That being said there are plenty of awe-inspiring places in the state, especially down south, that are pretty peaceful. The trouble there is the lack of consistent economic opportunity and overrun of tourism. Also unfortunate that those spots are typically half a day’s drive or more from commercial airports.
