I have lived in Utah since the mid 80's. It is definitely a different place today than it was in 2000. Specifically the growing diversity.
It looks like Utah will maintain the rapid growth rate during the the 2000's that it had during the 90's (30% growth from 1990-2000.)
1990 Utah had 1.7 MM
2000 Utah had 2.23 MM
2010 Utah will be pushing 2.9 MM
Continuing that rate, we could be doubling our population to 3.4 million people by 2015-2016 in a mere 25 years.
It is also interesting to see that Utah has outgrown more populous states, even in raw numbers growth such as:
Illinois
New Jersey (and almost New York)
Pennsylvania
Ohio
