From the Bonneville Salt Flats to Delicate Arch, Utah has some of the most intriguing landscape in America. The state’s multiple mountain ranges, including Wasatch and Uinta, make for some outstanding natural playgrounds. Utah is a popular winter recreation destination, and is sometimes said to have the greatest snow on earth.
Discover culture and history along the Trail of the Ancients which passes through southeast Utah. Explore places like Hovenweep National Monument, Monument Valley Tribal Park, and Newspaper Rock, which is located in Bears Ears National Monument. Temple Square in Salt Lake City is another significant piece of Utah history.
Utah is home to “The Mighty 5” national parks, which includes Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, and Zion National Park. While all of these parks feature stunning red rock vistas, each is unique in its own way.
