Utah has a rich archaeological record, and our dry climate preserves a remarkable variety of objects—from turkey feather robes to woven sandals—made by Utah’s Indigenous peoples. The museum’s archeological collection, one of the largest in western North America, contains evidence of continual human habitation in the region for over 14,000 years!
At a higher elevation, Bryce Canyon becomes a haven, offering a refreshing escape from the lower desert heat and welcoming you to savor the magic of summer in the mountains. Gear up for adventure on an e bike ride along the Canyon 2 Canyon Trail, wind along hoodoos and rock walls in Red Canyon, and step back in time in the historic towns of Panguitch and Escalante, or visit Butch Cassidy’s boyhood home. Relax in the refreshing waters of Panguitch Lake or the lakes of Boulder Mountain and enjoy your summer escape in Bryce Canyon Country.
