24 Best Places to Visit in Utah: National Parks, Blue Lakes & Salt Flats
Red sandstone arches, turquoise lakes, and epic skiing are some of the many standout attractions in Utah.
Utah doesn’t get as much attention as some of its neighbors, but anyone who’s visited the Beehive State knows that it’s in a class of its own. The landscape transitions from desert marked with red sandstone arches to giant, snow-covered ski mountains and bright-white salt flats. In fact, the terrain is so stunning and varied that much of the natural landscape is designated national park, national monument, or national forest land.
It’s impossible to check out every site the state has to offer in one visit, however, certain places stand out. In addition to housing five phenomenal national parks, there are endless ski areas, state parks, hot springs, lakes, and mountain towns that are all worth exploring.
With that in mind, here are 24 of the best places to visit in Utah.
