The state capitol building of Utah, located in Salt Lake City, stands atop a hill overlooking the city. Known as the "Beehive State," Utah's three branches of government meet in this building, designed by Richard K.A. Kletting. Here the American flag and the state flag of Utah fly at half mast, in memory of the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox has issued an order for flags to be raised for the presidential inauguration Monday.

Flags had been lowered to honor the late President Jimmy Carter who died on Dec. 29.

After the inauguration, flags will be returned to half-staff at sunset Monday and remain lowered through Jan. 28.
