Utah's time zone
Utah keeps Mountain Time from corner to corner: MST (UTC−7) in winter and MDT (UTC−6) from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November. Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and St. George never differ from one another by a minute.
Unlike its western neighbor Arizona, Utah does change its clocks — which means the two states match in winter but Utah runs an hour ahead of Phoenix each summer. On the Nevada border, the casino town of West Wendover legally observes Mountain Time so its clocks agree with adjoining Wendover, Utah. In 2020 the Utah legislature voted to adopt permanent daylight time, contingent on federal authorization that has not yet been granted.
