Utah is a state of unparalleled scenic beauty with four seasons of world-class outdoor recreation. Whether you seek desert solitude or high altitude exhilaration, a peaceful backcountry hike, dinosaur discovery, mountain biking, or American Indian exploration, Utah offers 80,000 square miles of possibilities.
Home to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef national parks, Utah’s natural beauty is as diverse as it is stunning. Plus, many of the state’s 43 state parks, seven national monuments, and five national recreation areas rival national parks for scenic vistas and adventure.
Utah welcomes three new science-centric destinations for families to explore! The brand new Quarry Visitor’s Center and Grand Exhibit Hall at Dinosaur National Monument (nps.gov/dino) captivates visitors with exhibits that highlight Utah’s paleontological past and provides access to the world-famous “wall of bones,” a cliff wall of thousands of fossils still embedded in the earth!
Salt Lake City recently celebrated the opening of two new fantastic museums in the fall of 2011. The Leonardo (theleonardo.org) is a stylish and ambitious attraction that allows visitors of all ages to explore science, technology, and art with its creative exhibitions. The new Natural History Museum of Utah highlights the unique geology, biology, and anthropology of the state.
From its five national parks to The Greatest Snow on Earth®, beautiful Park City to historic Temple Square, adventuresome Moab to sunny St. George, Utah will surprise you with its variety. Come find out why Utah is Life Elevated®.
