There’s something majestic about Utah’s otherworldly, rugged landscape. With more national parks, state parks, national monuments and natural wonders than you can explore in one trip, Utah keeps active travelers coming back for more.
You already know Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands National Park and Monument Valley need to be on your list, but these additional can’t-miss locales will be reason enough to plan for two trips.
See the 72-mile-long Great Salt Lake on a warm-weather trip to Utah. On the south end of the lake, visitors find a local park and beach space to lounge between dips in the water. Like the Dead Sea, Great Salt Lake’s high-salt content allows swimmers to bob at the surface.
While in the area, head to Antelope Island State Park for hiking, beaching and incredible photo ops. More of a peninsula jutting out into the Great Salt Lake, this stop is an easy way to check two destinations off your list.
For those star-filled skies and epic landscapes, Moab is the gateway to Arches National Park and a must. The geological wonder boasts Canyonlands National Park, Native American rock art, archeological finds at Bull Canyon Overlook and Copper Ridge and even more in the city.
Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
Climb Grand Staircase’s cliffs and terraces, make your way to the Kaiparowits Plateau and shimmy through slot canyons. Visit Escalante River Canyons, filled with natural bridges, arches and monoliths.
Once home to dinosaurs and prehistoric dwellers, Dinosaur National Monument is an incredible site. Check out dinosaur remains still embedded in the rocks and hike along stunning lakes, mountainsides and truly breathtaking terrain.
There is just so much more to do in Utah, we could be here all day talking about it. Plan for multiple trips and don’t try to do it all in one — there is just so much to see and do, you’ll want to take it all in while you can and know you’ll come back for the rest.
