Top 10 Mountains in Utah, United States
Welcome to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” – Utah’s paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts! As host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City knows how to entertain winter fun seekers. Snowboarders and skiers head for miles of spectacular slopes with deep fluffy powder and breathtaking mountain views. The Olympic Park provides family-friendly ski programs, rides and shows. Alta, Sundance, Snowbird and Brighton are other popular destinations for cross country and Alpine skiers. Those alluring snowy slopes turn to rolling wildflower fields in the summer. Golfing, fishing, horseback riding and water sports replace chilly outdoor sports adventures. Corral the family, pack a picnic and catch one of the ski lifts for an afternoon of hiking or mountain biking along scenic trails. Head to Salt Lake City, where Temple Square hosts millions of visitors a year. Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park are famous for surreal landscapes from horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters to unusual rock formations and hundreds of natural sandstone arches. Closer to home, wander along the quaint main streets of mountain villages to browse, shop and enjoy lunch at an outdoor café. At the end of the day, head home for an outdoor barbecue and an evening of games. Home rentals blend privacy, space and comfort with the cost-saving advantage of eating some meals at home.

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.

Magically beautiful part of the planet. Lots of trails. Sometimes the trails end a few miles offo from the road and you get to bushwack, with peaks, meadows, lakes all looking similar. It's probably a good idea to have a GPS. In the summer there are swarms of hungry small mosquitos and zillions of flowers. If visiting UT & WY, don;t miss this area.

We boondocked at Big John Flat it was peaceful and beautiful! But it is also at 10,000 ft so anyone with breathing problems might not want to go. You could go there as a day trip and stay in Beaver, also it is in Fishlake National forest so there were several other campgrounds at a lower elevation. Lots of lakes for fishing, ATV trails and good hiking

We had a great day in Arches driving our 23 ft. RV. We got to the entrance before opening and the double line each was about 50 to 75 vehicles ahead of us. Hint: If in an RV, Get to the Devils Garden Parking Area immediately and claim an RV space. Our experience was that all the spaces went to cars and trucks that double parked in the RV spaces. We tried to park there twice during the day - late morning and mid-afternoon and were shut out both times. If you are staying at Devils Garden campground, this is not an issue for you. Nonetheless, we had a fabulous day touring the viewpoints and hiking.We did all the hikes in the Windows section, the Delicate Arch Trail (difficult) , both Delicate Arch viewpoint, Sand Dune Arch and Skyline Arch. We also hiked the Broken Arch/ Tapestry Arch loop in a clock-wise direction leaving from the Sand Dune Arch Parking Area. We went partway to the Tapestry Arch but stopped because it became difficult. It definitely was more than moderate scrambling for us. The section from the hike from the Campground to the Sand Dune Parking Area had some sections with more than moderate scrambling. In a day, we saw a large section of the NP. Only the Pine Tree and Tunnel Arches escaped us.
10. Angels Leading Ledgewalk - Utah Adventure Center
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 18 reviews
The Angels Leading Ledgewalk is a Via Ferrata experience that is located just outside of the world-famous Zion National Park. This adventure will take you to the edge of a 600 ft slot canyon featuring the beautiful Above Zion Waterfall at the end of your journey. This experience is for anyone and everyone because you are safely attached with a harness the entire time.
Reviewed By R9626ASdaniellen
This was a wonderful adventure I would highly recommend! Using via ferratas, or steel cables and ladders, you climb up rock faces while safely clipped in the whole time. It is an incredible and unique way to see Zion while avoiding the hustle and bustle of the main canyon. Beautiful views, a gorgeous waterfall, and our knowledgeable guides Cindy and Jared made this trip one to remember!
