Utah Travel Guide
Utah is known as the Beehive State of the United States. Utah abounds with national parks, including the world famous Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, and offers a wide assortment of monuments, museums (including, in Salt Lake City, the largest collection of Mormon pioneer memorabilia in the world) and national heritage sites. In Southwest Utah, enjoy the red rock and arid landscape of Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. In the Southeast, Moab serves as a starting point for visits to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. North Utah is home to the scenic Bear River Mountains and the Golden Spike National Historic Site.
The most significant sights and attractions have been formed by the dramatic forces of nature, creating ruggedly beautiful, multicoloured canyons, eroded rock sculptures, red desert plains, forested mountains and snow-capped peaks. Southern Utah has five breathtaking national parks, including Zion and Bryce Canyon. Canyonlands and Capitol Reef National parks are close by and offer more excellent outdoor opportunities.
In Springdale you find Zion National Park with the world's largest natural arch, the Kolob Arch.
