Zion National Park Zion National Park with its beautiful vistas, waterfalls and red rock cliffs is the most impressive site of Utah. Zion-Mount Carmel Highway is the main route of the park that remains open from spring to fall for the sightseeing bus. Visitors can travel through this road in winter in their own cars. Horseback riding and hiking are popular things to do in Zion.
Monument Valley Red rocks peaking their heads up from the orange desert floor- a scene quite common in the 60s and 70s Hollywood movies can be inspired by Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. Valley Drive is a 17-mile-long dirt road that lets the visitors enjoy the spectacular views of the park. If you’re not willing to drive around the park, then enjoy the beauty of the park from the Monument Valley Visitor Center.
Bryce Canyon National Park Explore the brightly colored hoodoos and stone pillars while hiking down the trails in the park. But keep in mind that the temperature drops here significantly in spring and winter. It’s better to visit the park in the summer.
Park City The mountain town is perfect for ski-lovers. You can’t miss Deer Valley Resort- the poshest ski resort of Utah.
Mormon Temple and Salt Lake City A famous location for skiing in Utah is Salt Lake City. Mormon Temple is a gorgeous 19th century Saints temple standing on Temple Square. The temple worth a visit.
