Utah

Known for its natural diversity, Utah boasts of the most wonderful and iconic landscapes. It has everything: arid deserts, sand dunes, pine forests, mountain valleys, and great waters. It even has salt pans — the Bonneville Salt Flats!

This incredible natural diversity can be explained by the fact that Utah is the converging point of three distinct geological regions. The Rocky Mountains, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau all converge in Utah.

The variety of terrain in Utah is simply unbelievable. It has world-renowned ski resorts, arid deserts, gorgeous lakes, and beautiful mountain ranges. Here, you can ski and golf all on the same day. However, since Utah features extreme hot and cold weathers, it is best to still plan your itinerary according to the month you are planning to visit.

Redefining what the ‘the great outdoors’ really means, Utah is this one giant playground for outdoor adventurers. It is the third state with the most national parks in the country. It has five: Arche, Bryce Canyon, Canyonland, Capitol Reef, and Zion. It also has eight national monuments, all deserving of trips of their own, not counting local state parks and monuments.

With these said, it is no wonder that Utah draws so many tourists every year.
