Utah, a state in the southwestern United States, is a land filled with beautiful natural landscapes, wide-open spaces, and national parks. It has nothing to envy of its neighbors like California or Arizona. You can discover it whatever the season. Here are some activities to do in Utah for unforgettable experiences.
Visit Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City is the largest city in Utah, landlocked in the middle of a mountain range and located on the edge of the Great Salt Lake. It is one of the most popular American cities. To begin with, know that it is the city of Mormons, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You can learn more about this religion through the different buildings surrounding the main temple and by visiting the LDS Church History Museum.
Other things to see are the State Capitol, the Gilgal sculpture garden, and the genealogical library. In this library, you will be able to research your ancestors and family history from PCs. Aside from that, there are ballets, theaters, restaurants, shops and plenty of places to go out at night. Finally, take a trip to Antelope Island State Park. You will come across animals such as American antelopes and bison.
Watch the sunset in Arches National Park
THE National Park des Arches is one of the must-see sites in the American West. It is renowned for the incredible beauty of its natural landscapes. The landscapes are both arid and mountainous, composed of piles of stones, canyons, cliffs, obelisks and above all a formidable concentration of orange sandstone rock arches. These arches are found in the Windows section of the park.
The best way to discover them is to take an excursion there at the end of the day to admire a splendid sunset. This is also to avoid high heat. For the excursion, you will be aboard a vehicle and accompanied by a local guide. You will follow him on a hike around the arches. Next, he will take you to the park’s most famous landmark, the Delicate Arch, to watch the sun set and take photos. In any case, you will have the impression of being on another planet.
Snow tubing at Brian Head Resort
Would you like to experience the thrill of snowtubing? Then come to Brian Head Resort during the winter season. This resort is located in the Municipality of Brian Head, Iron County. As a reminder, this involves sliding on snow aboard a large inner tube. This is an excellent outdoor activity for both children and adults.
It’s a bit like sledding, but it’s safer, more fun and you don’t have to walk back up the hill. To get to the top of the courses you will make the minimum effort, as Brian Head Resort has a conveyor belt. Other than that, you will need to follow all instructions carefully. It is also possible to do night sessions. To do this, you have to come on Fridays and Saturdays.
