From its desolate red rock canyons to its soaring pine-covered peaks, Utah is spectacular. There aren't many places in the world where the forces of nature have come together with such dramatic results, creating a magnificent outdoor playground. This is also a land of cultural discovery; all the peoples who have settled here, from the ancestors of today's Pueblo Indians to Brigham Young's Mormons to mountain men and Wild West bandits, have left their distinctive mark, contributing to a wild, colorful history.

With so much to see and do, how to choose? It can be bewildering to plan your trip with so many options vying for your attention. We've made this task easier by scouring the entire state from top to bottom and choosing the very best that Utah has to offer -- the places and experiences you won't want to miss.
