Don’t miss Utah’s spectacular state parks, national monuments and mountain towns too...
Where Southern Utah is red rocks and canyons, Northern Utah’s combination of mountains, lakes and reservoirs gives it a green, Alpine feel – with plenty of stunning landscapes of its own.
Dinosaur National Monument: Dinosaurs once roamed here and their fantastic remains are still visibly embedded in the rocks. North-eastern Utah’s dinosaur legacy comes to life here, where geological and climatic forces have tilted, warped, and eroded the earth’s crust to reveal a treasure trove of fossils. Take your pick of touring the dinosaur quarry (kids love seeing the cool bones and fossils), going on driving tours around the park, hiking the nature trails, backpacking, white- water rafting, photography, birdwatching and biking.
Goblin Valley State Park: A magical place full of goblin-like sandstone monoliths, often compared to Mars due to its peculiar formations.
Natural Bridges National Monument: Take the nine-mile scenic drive to view three spectacular natural bridges, carved by the incredible force of water. Scenic overlooks and hiking trails lead to each bridge with ancient Puebloan ruins bringing the history of the area to life.
Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park: This great valley is an iconic symbol of the American West boasting sandstone rock formations that have been sculpted over time and tower at heights of 400 to 1,000 feet. Located in the heart of the Navajo nation, explore the 17-mile scenic drive or book a jeep tour to discover the area’s backroads and sacred lands.
Bear Lake State Park: Experience the brilliantly blue waters and sandy beaches of Bear Lake, nicknamed ‘the Caribbean of the Rockies’. Minerals (calcium carbonate) suspended in the lake’s waters are what help create its spectacular aqua-blue colour. The lake is superb for fishing and watersports and is a great camping spot.
Dead Horse Point State Park: Amazing for stargazing, this was Utah’s first state park to be designated as an International Dark Sky Park and is best known for the iconic ‘Grand Canyon’ scene in Thelma & Louise.
Park City: Packed with year-round adventure, with epic skiing in winter and hiking and mountain biking in the summer. Combining its silver mining town heritage, an artistic vibe and deep appreciation for the outdoors, this funky town and mountain is an action sports hub.
Antelope Island State Park: A craggy adventure destination in northern Utah, home to 36 miles of hiking and mountain bike trails meandering among free-roaming bison and antelope herds.
Kodachrome Basin State Park: Here you’ll find an array of spectacular rock formations called sand pipes: multi-coloured spires showcasing 180 million years of geology to dramatic effect. This is a place so extraordinarily beautiful that a National Geographic Society expedition named it Kodachrome in 1948, after Kodak’s early colour film.
