Discover the best attractions in the Beehive State
From majestic mountains to striking red rock formations, Utah is a land of enchanting beauty. And at First Utah Bank, we are not only your banking partner; we’re your neighbor and guide to everything this amazing state has to offer. Here is a curated list of some of Utah’s best attractions:
The Mighty 5® National Parks
Utah is home to the famous Mighty 5 — a collection of five awe-inspiring National Parks that include Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Capitol Reef, and Canyonlands. Each park boasts its own unique natural wonders, from the iconic Delicate Arch in Arches to the dramatic cliffs and canyons of Zion.
Park City: A Year-Round Paradise
Known for its world-class ski resorts, Park City is a treasure trove of activities in any season. In winter, the slopes are a skier’s dream. When the snow melts, the city becomes a haven for hiking, mountain biking, and festivals, including the Sundance Film Festival.
Salt Lake City’s Cultural Hub
The state’s capital is more than just a business center; it’s a cultural hub. Visit Temple Square, a ten-acre complex that houses the Salt Lake Temple, or enjoy a performance by the world-renowned Tabernacle Choir. The Natural History Museum of Utah and the Utah Museum of Fine Arts are also must-see attractions.
The Bonneville Salt Flats
An otherworldly expanse of hard, white salt crust, the Bonneville Salt Flats are known internationally as a premier racing destination. Even if speed isn’t your thing, the area is a photographer’s dream, offering unique and beautiful landscapes.
Dinosaur National Monument
Take a step back in time and explore Utah’s prehistoric side at Dinosaur National Monument. The area is home to numerous dinosaur bones and petroglyphs, offering a fascinating glimpse into the state’s ancient history.
The Scenic Byways
Utah’s scenic byways are attractions in their own right. The Alpine Scenic Loop takes you through stunning mountain landscapes, while the Monument Valley Scenic Byway offers some of the most iconic views in the Southwest.
Bear Lake: The Caribbean of the Rockies
Nestled on the border of Utah and Idaho, Bear Lake’s vibrant, turquoise-blue waters are an inviting summer destination. Enjoy water sports, fishing, and famous raspberry shakes during your visit.
Antelope Island State Park
Experience the Great Salt Lake up close at Antelope Island State Park. It’s a perfect spot for hiking, biking, and wildlife viewing — bison roam freely across the island, and the sunsets are legendary.
