Top Tips

The Mighty 5

Some of Utah’s most awe-inspiring scenery is found in The Mighty 5 – the state’s five national parks of Capitol Reef, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, and Canyonlands. Take a scenic drive through Capitol Reef. Hike through Canyonlands’ impressive rock formations. View the mountains and waterfalls of Zion. Tour natural bowls and red rock hoodoos of Bryce Canyon. Watch the sun rising over the orange sandstone shapes in Arches. With the patchwork of majestic mountains, rugged red rock canyons, parched deserts, lush forests, and dramatic gorges, carved out of the landscape by the river, The Mighty 5 offers a world of outdoor recreational opportunities.

Outdoor Activities

From family-friendly trails to more challenging climbs, Utah is made for hiking. The national parks offer countless trails through the region’s iconic red rock landscape. Explore Canyonlands on foot, with hikes to Mesa Arch a highlight. The slickrock trails of Moab are famous for their challenging climbs and descents. Those traveling to Bryce Canyon and Zion should plan to visit nearby Thunder Mountain and Gooseberry Meas. Head to Park City – the only International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) Certified Gold Level mountain biking city in America. Famous for its scenic desert vistas, Utah ranks among the top ten US states in surface acres of boatable waters. Why not take a white water rafting trip through Cataract Canyon down the Colorado River?

Salt Lake City

The culturally vibrant Wasatch Front of the western Rocky Mountains is home to many of Utah’s liveliest downtowns. The state capital, Salt Lake City, is an artsy, cultural centre that boasts historic attractions including Temple Square, containing more than 15 attractions related to Mormon heritage and beliefs, a growing micro-brewery scene, and free tours of the State Capitol building. Nearby Antelope Island State Park, the largest island in the Great Salt Lake, is a craggy adventure destination with miles of walking and cycling trails, and home to free-roaming bison and antelope herds.

Utah's Night Skies

In Utah the night skies have to be seen to be believed. With very little light pollution and clear weather there are 10 certified International Dark Sky Parks along with several sanctuaries of natural darkness, you’ll have no problem catching incredible views of the moon, constellations, planets and even the Milky Way! Many areas offer their own night sky programmes with telescopes and astronomers at hand.

To The Movies

Film buffs will be in their element as they delve into Utah’s movie heritage. Having shot five films in the area John Wayne named the towering mesas of Monument Valley as ‘the place where God put the West’. Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump also famously ended his cross country run here, while Thelma and Louise took their final leap at Dead Horse Point State Park, and in Arches National Park a young Indiana Jones discovered the Cross of Cortez in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The annual Sundance Film Festival takes place in Park City, Salt Lake, Ogden and Sundance Mountain Resort. Founded by Robert Redford, the ten day celebration showcases the best in independent film making.
