Utah
is a very unique state that is packed full of recreational adventures,
wonderful sightseeing opportunities and some amazing geologic landforms.
Not only is Utah packed with national parks, but there are also many places
to visit that aren't as well known and are just as breathtaking. When
you visit Utah, make sure to ask a local about some of the locals hangouts
so you can see as much of the state as possible.
The
state of Utah is mostly on a large plateau that averages about 4,000 feet
above sea level. It is probably one of the most diverse states with its
desert red rocks and snow covered mountain peaks. The geology of the area
is amazing with its diversity of shapes and colors. The elevations throughout
the state also vary dramatically from the high mountains to the buttes and
plateaus. Some of the regions plateaus reach over 13,000 feet. Such a wide
ranging landscape brings a wider range of activities from solitary excursions
to family getaways. Whether you want to relax with the family and show them
some of the country's most amazing sights or just get away from everything,
Utah is the place to be.
Within the
borders of Utah sit five of the most amazing national parks in the country;
Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce, Capitol Reef and Zion (one of the oldest national
parks in the nation). The parks have a huge variety of landscapes from
dramatic spires to massive arches to rivers. Utah is full of brilliant
colors among its landscapes.
