Recreation

Welcome to Utah – paradise for outdoor enthusiasts! Whether you come to ski or snowboard “the Greatest Snow on Earth,” to mountain bike Slickrock, to take a summer whitewater rafting trip down Cataract Canyon, or to visit the Old West with a tour of outlaw hideouts and stickups – a Utah adventure is waiting for you.

The state of Utah is unique. We have more variety of landscapes, geology, and recreational opportunities than even we can imagine. While our national parks are considered national treasures, there are many more places to see and things to do that are just as amazing – and certainly less crowded.

Most of Utah lies on a plateau higher than 4,000 feet above sea level. The geology of this region takes on an amazing variety of shapes and colors. Elevations rise and fall dramatically in the shape of mountains, buttes and plateaus, the highest reaching over 13,000 feet. Within this varied landscape are hidden treasures and experiences that appeal to everyone – from the rugged, solitude-seeking explorer to the family wanting a relaxing getaway. Utah has something for everyone.
