Situated in western USA the state of Utah is well known for its association with the Mormons, and has many attractions to offer. Utah is a state that has year round recreation and features several national parks as well as attractive cities.
Salt Lake City is Utah’s capital and the largest city in the state. It was established by Mormons (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) in 1847, and has been the headquarters for this church ever since. There are many practicing Mormons in Salt Lake City and Utah as a whole, and several of the most popular attractions in the city are related to the Mormon religion. Temple Square is one, and it’s actually slated to be the most visited attraction in Utah, while the Church History Museum is the place to go to find out more about the history of the Mormons.
Salt Lake City also offers several other attractions, plus the mountains that surround the city are very popular too, especially for skiing.
Utah’s National Parks
Utah has five national parks in total, which between them feature some fantastic scenery and some of the most famous landscapes in the USA.
Arches National Park is one of the most popular and is named for the over 2000 natural stone arches you can find within the park. Delicate Arch is one of the best, or if you visit the nearby Canyonlands National Park you can enjoy other rock arches and formations including Mesa Arch and Druid Arch.
Zion National Park is the oldest of the five parks in Utah and was formed to protect the Zion Canyon. This canyon is 15 miles long and can be up to ½ a mile deep in some spots, and the Zion Canton Scenic Drive is a great way to see the canyon.
Despite the name, Bryce Canyon National Park does not protect a canyon but rather a natural amphitheatre that has rock formations called hoodoos. There’s also a scenic drive at this Utah national park, in addition to a number of marked hiking trails if you want to get out of the car and enjoy the best views.
Capitol Reef National Park also shows off some of Utah‘s spectacular scenery and it is the newest national park to be formed in Utah. The Waterpocket Fold is one of the main attractions here – it’s a 65 million year old wrinkle in the earth’s crust!
