Wyoming (USA) is famous for many majestic landscapes, especially Bryce and Zion national parks. The mountain scenery next to the rural villages with a Wild West character like in cowboy stories has attracted many visitors here.
However, besides those attractions, many tourists come here about the rumors of the two polygamous towns of Hildale and Colorado City located on the border between the two states of Wyoming and Arizona. It is hard to believe that at this time, in a civilized and developed country like America, this strange custom still exists. People here believe that you must have at least three wives before you can go to heaven after you die. As a result, they were married to many women simultaneously and had children with them.

To come to this quaint town, visitors can combine with visiting the wonders of the Grand Canyon, less than 150km away, located in the middle of the barren desert, surrounded by the red cliffs typical of the American West. .
The explanation for this strange custom, it is said, is because this town is the capital of the FLDS church with a conservative and backward lifestyle. People here still live like the “small house on the prairie”, from dress to way of life. They don’t use the internet and television to connect with the outside world, wear century-old style clothes, and children don’t get a higher education.
This community of 7,000 people lives quite closed and isolated.
Many people could not stand this way of life and left the town. This community of 7,000 people lives quite closed and isolated, does not interact with the outside and is not open to strangers. The head of this polygamous religion has been arrested and scientists have also shown that inbreeding here will cause many health consequences, but people in Hildale and Colorado City still maintain this way of life. .
