Utah Holidays
At the heart of the West, Utah is an outdoor lover’s playground, with terrain ripe for adventure stretching out for miles and miles. Here, the Rocky Mountains to the north give way to the broad plateaus and magnificent rock formations of the south. Connect with nature and lose yourself in the majesty of the state’s landscapes on your Utah holiday.
Utah undoubtedly has some of the best hiking, biking and canyoning in the country, but venture beyond that and you’ll find the state has even more adventure to offer. Visit Lake Powell and kayak along its many bends, drinking in the majesty of the canyon walls that envelope it. Of course, the state’s capital city can’t be forgotten, so do head to Salt Lake City and watch as the sun sets over the Great Salt Lake.
Utah’s Mighty Five
From the gateway city of Moab, venture into Arches National Park, where over 2,000 stone arches await, made by nature’s very own hand. Nearby Canyonlands National Park is split into four districts by the Colorado River, each with its own adventures to offer. Hike through Capitol Reef National Park’s vast vistas and feel as if nothing exists apart from you, the ground beneath and the sky above. Wander through the forested plateau and mystical rock formations of Bryce Canyon National Park. In Zion National Park, feel the canyons absorb you as you look up at the great walls from the water-filled floors.
Why not take in some of Utah’s incredible national parks before exploring the indulgent city of Las Vegas on our National Park Treasures tour, or head to Arizona and experience cowboy city life in Tucson or Phoenix?
