Top 10 Other Outdoor Activities in Utah, United States

July 22, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

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.

Nebo Scenic Loop Byway

Reviewed By hsittig - Orem, United States

This winding road has many beautiful turnouts and vistas that gives you a feeling of what the pioneers must have encountered during their travels. Was hard on the brakes though.

Notom Road Scenic Backway

Reviewed By gleasonl - Cottonwood, United States

This drive is OUTSTANDING! The road is paved for the first 10 miles or so, and then turns to a graded, well maintained, two-lane dirt road. There are numerous sites, hikes, and attractions listed on the self-guided tour pamphlets available at the Visitors Center. If you so desire you can complete the entire loop in one day which would include the Notom Road (heading South), Burr Trail (dirt and paved road heading West), Boulder Utah, Hwy 12 Scenic Drive North to Torrey, UT., and then back (East) to Capital Reef National Park. The full adventure will take most of the day. So plan a picnic, bring your camera, and plenty of water. Enjoy this ADVENTURE.
