The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Wasatch Range, Wasatch Range
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.

Mere words don't begin to describe the incredible beauty my family and I enjoyed during our visit today. From the deer to the coyotes to the snow-capped mountains to the beautiful mountain falls, my family and I highly recommend taking the Alpine Scenic Highway. It was a day to take in some of God's greatest creations.

This has quickly become our favorite playground in the area. The features are built so that adults can also ride with the kids - it's so much fun! Leave your cell phones behind and play! Someone put a lot of thought into this place - it's inviting for all ages and capabilities. It does get crowded in the summer but we've been even in the winter! We just bundled up and went. Thanks to whoever came up with this park - it's wonderful!

My family attended the Full Moon chair lift ride on the full moon on Halloween! Not only was the view of the full moon fantastic (we were lucky to have clear skies and milder temperatures), but the overall theme of Halloween, haunts and spooks (actors, costumes, effects- like a haunted house) were absolutely mesmerizing, well done and completely fun and entertaining throughout the ride! We had reservations and dinner at The Foundry Grill prior and loved it! We can't wait to do it again, and are hopeful they will have that next year! ????????

Deer Valley is just the best place to ski in the entire world. The best staff, tissue boxes at every lift line, fast moving lift lines, tons of variety in slopes (many greens, blues, and blacks), perfectly groomed slopes, nice ski school program, and amazing food. Everything at Deer Valley is perfect! This is why I keep coming back year after year, due to the fact that it is flawless and the best mountain in the entire world. I love coming here! (*When staying here, a great place to stay is The Lodges at Deer Valley)

A beautiful park located on the largest of the Great Salt Lakes islands; features lots of white-sand beaches, hiking and biking trails in addition to a variety of flora and fauna, including deer, bob cats, and of course, antelopes.

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.

We LOVE Beaver Mountain! We live in CA and have bought season passes for the past 10 years and ski during the Christmas holiday and then again for a week in February. We keep coming back due to the friendly staff who are willing to go the extra mile for you, the amazing snow and terrain, and the family-friendly environment that the resort creates and offers.
9. Timpanogos Cave National Monument

One of the sites in Utah for cave exploring.
Reviewed By akisaurus
Timpanogos Cave National Monument protects a cave system on Mount Timpanogos in Northern Utah's Wasatch Mountains in American Fork Canyon. There are three caves in the National Monument: Hansen Cave, Middle Cave, and Timpanogos Cave. If you want to explore the caves, please note that access requires a guided tour, and buying a ticket—either online or at the visitor center—is necessary to secure your place in the tour. You have two tour options: the standard Cave Tour and Introduction to Caving Tour, the latter of which access to Hansen Cave is granted. A steep, 1.5-mile uphill hike is required to reach the cave entrance, so make sure you wear sturdy shoes and bring plenty of water. Once you enter the caves, you will be amazed at the natural formations of their interiors; however, you should also bring a light jacket or sweatshirt as conditions inside the caves are like being inside a refrigerator. And watch your heads as there are low overhangs inside. I purchased the 7:00 tour (actual cave tour did not start until 8:30) on a Saturday morning. During the cave tour, what I found the most impressive was the Great Heart of Timpanogos, an icon of Timpanogos Cave everyone would want to photograph as a highlight of the tour. Also, if you plan on going, keep in mind that cave tours, held from May to October, are highly popular and can sell out. The uphill hike is not recommended for seniors or disabled/paralyzed persons, so be sure to be in excellent health!

Took day lessons here with my wife. She took the first-time skier lessons and I took intermediate lessons. Both lessons were from 9:30-3:30 and we rented all our equipment. Pick up was quick and easy. The instructors were very good, I learned a lot, starting on green runs and working our way up to blue runs by the late morning, early afternoon. We had a break for lunch and got to see each other, but it was good having separate time to learn at our own pace. Overall a sensational day of skiing and I cannot wait to return!
