8 State Parks in Wasatch Range That You Shouldn't Miss
Stretching 160 miles through Utah, the Wasatch Range makes a rugged, glacial backdrop for the 85% of the states population living within 15 miles. Mount Nebo is highest at 11,928 feet, but the peaks around Alta and Park City are most popular. "The greatest snow on earth" falls on these spectacular slopes. Lone Peaks granite outcrops provide top climbing. Canyons and valleys are loved by fly-fishermen and hikers. After all that adventure, retire to a hip restaurant or enticing hot tub in chic Park City.

A beautiful mountain range.

We had a vacation to Utah. We enjoyed seeing the Wasatch Mountains as we were staying in Park City. We also visited Sundance. There is hiking, biking, exploring, picnics, events in the summer. And in the winter, its all about winter activities like skiing.

We went to hike Antelope Island and picked the 33 Bison Roundup!Started by crossing the 7.5 mile causeway onto an amazing, serene and beautiful island.The Park Service staff greeted us with smiles and pride for their island home. At first bison grazed while cowboys and cowgals mounted their beautiful horses. Soon bison realized riders were near and started slowly but picked up speed;to a run.Huge beasts racing along the shoreline and up a ridge heading for the corral. Park employees wisely kept visitors safe and away from charging bison. After the roundup we hiked Buffalo Trail and saw sweeping views of the Grear Salt Lake.It was a memorable day and location I will never forget.Minutes from downtown Salt Lake; vast wilderness beauty.

Ok, ok, I'll confess, I love all that there is to see & do in Haber Valley and that is why I moved here 25 years ago from California! As a visitor, you could spend several WEEKS here enjoying biking, hiking, sledding, tubing & ice skating (in winter), float-tubing down the Provo River, boating (3 lakes to choose from), fishing, quad running/snowmobiling, plane gliding, camping, flying, golfing, swimming year round in the natural heated "Crater" in Midway, farmer's markets (summer), Swiss Day's in Midway, eating at different restaurant each night and much more. Who could not fall in love in an incredible place like this! WOW. BOTTOM LINE: (Keep this a secret to yourself...only you!). Whether you come as a visitor or come here to live (or retire) you'll enjoy four distinct seasons of beauty & contrast. The views of Mt. Timpanogos and the valley are breath-taking in any season. MY RATING: 10/10,

I walk the area often. It’s shaded which is wonderful in the Utah summer. I intermittently use a wheelchair and have had success in getting around the path. It’s nice enough. It has some seedier areas but no one really bothers you. Pretty and close to the city.

7. Hyrum Reservoir State Park

Reviewed By mysugarpie - Tulsa, United States
This is small State Park in the middle of town and is built around a pretty lake with a boat dock with a fish cleaning station. It has multiple clean restrooms for the size. It appears to be a favorite spot for locals with a large day use area. The RV sites are adequate, has trees, and are nicely terraced so no one is next to you. Tent sites are located by the lake. Try to get a site close in or you will be next to the busy street. Plenty area to take a walk. I highly recommend. I hope you find this review helpful.

Came back in the winter. First time here was in the summer. Winter is so cool since the lake is frozen and you can walk over it. People seating on it with a hole made on the ice waiting to fish a trout. Beautiful place ❄️❄️❄️
