UTAH'S REGIONS
trading post and has a fine museum of early trading days and movie-making.
SOUTH WEST UTAH
South-western Utah is a spectacular landscape that extends from the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the tablelands of the Colorado Plateau. Three National Parks, several National Monuments and a variety of attractions display the contrasting natural features of the region. An exploration of Southwest Utah offers an ever changing panorama of colour-banded cliffs, lush forests and wild landscapes, dotted with small, welcoming valley communities. Visitors to Zion have the option of staying
in the park or using several south-western Utah towns as their base camp. Within walking distance of Zion's visitor centre is Springdale, where shuttles run into the park much of the year. Varied accommodation, excellent restaurants and an IMAX cinema make this a great stop from which to explore the park. Kanab, 40 miles (64 kms) from Zion's eastern
entrance, offers accommodation, restaurants and a wide variety of activities, including Jeep tours, horseback-riding and mountain biking. On Zion's west is St. George. Because of its
temperate, year-round climate, it has become a thriving golf, retirement and recreational community. Hotels, restaurants and all visitor
services are found there. Of note are the Red Rock Golf Trail, Tuacahn Amphitheater and Center for the Arts, Snow Canyon State Park, and historic St. George Temple. Cedar City, in the shadow of Cedar Breaks
National Monument and near Zion, is best known for its Utah Shakespearean Festival. Winner of a Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theater, the festival delights audiences with Shakespeare and Broadway plays from mid-June to late October. Cedar City also provides a good base for the Brian Head Resort, a year-round activity mecca. The town of Panguitch serves as a gateway
to Bryce Canyon National Park and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument with all visitor services. Lodging is also available within and just outside the park. Arguably one of the most beautiful drives in
the state, Highway 12 provides access to two national parks, three state parks, a national recreation area, a national monument, and a national forest. Venture east along Scenic Byway 12 and
you’ll run into the quaint and peaceful town of Torrey, which serves as the primary gateway to Capitol Reef National Park. Torrey is truly one of southern Utah’s jewels which has one hand in the present and one in the pioneer past with several hotels, historic B&Bs, galleries, shops and some excellent dining.
Utah is defined by profound collaboration among the private sector, government and education. Utah’s renowned business friendly environment leads the United States in economic dynamism and growth because of fiscally responsible governance and a sensible regulatory environment. Utah also boasts a AAA credit rating as old as the rating’s existence. These are the fundamentals of good business. To understand the depth of Utah’s “unprecedented partnerships” look no further than the purposeful co-location of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) with World Trade Center Utah, the Office of Energy Development and the Utah Science Technology and Research Initiative (USTAR). With great collaboration, Utah has achieved
Governor Gary R. Herbert’s vision to be America’s best performing economy. As a result, business gets done in Utah. With unrivaled access to legendary mountain snow, thousands of miles of trails and iconic red rock landscapes, world-class play is the reward for the success of hard work.
