What to do and see in Wasatch Range, Wasatch Range: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
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.

Very upscale and scenic. This is a large, multi-street, outside retail venue (think H&M and Sephora) that is especially beautiful and quaint at night due to the white twinkle lights, large fireplaces, benches, and overhead music. Many places are open late in here. Be prepared to walk a bit if you are retail shopping, unless you can find parking along the streets in front of the stores. Be sure not to miss the outstanding restaurants and eateries located deep within the retail area. The more common eateries like Panda Express and Chick Fil-A are located across the parking lot near the very popular Nordstrom Rack and Home Goods.

Wow, a Saturday morning drive on the Guardsman Pass between Park city and Salt Lake City is definitely an adventure. The beauty is incredible. The curves, cliffs and bikers make it very challenging but fun. Lots of pull offs,hikers and bikers.

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.

Fall colors here were magnificent. Especially the aspen and the bigtooth maples. Highly recommend this drive during the week on a clear fall day.
6. Park City Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 550 reviews
Discover Park City's history at the Park City Museum on Historic Main Street. Prospectors discovered silver in 1868 in the area that soon after became Park City. Mine owners made fortunes, while thousands of miners simply made a living. After silver prices declined, Park City reinvented itself as a ski resort town. Interactive displays tell the Park City story in an engaging manner. Fun for the whole family! Open 7 days a week (Mon-Sat 10-7, Sun 12-6).

Great museum that is much larger than it appears from the street. Interactive displays and videos about mining, skiing, their great fire, the Sundance Film festival, and more.

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.
8. 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!

Journey back in time to the days when the Dryosaurus roamed and the Tyrannosaurus rex ruled at this outdoor six-acre park that displays giant dinosaurs complete with sound effects like crashing trees and earth moving footsteps. The complex also includes a museum that features hands-on exhibits of the latest fossil finds from Utah and around the world.

Most amazing museum filled with Dinosaur bones, and an excellent gem room upstairs. Then you go outside and there are probably 100 Dinosaur statues. This would be a great place for kids of all ages.

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,
