Explore Utah National Parks

With February right around the corner ~ the longest month of the year for many Utahans who are tired on the inversion ~ why not escape to the beauty of Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park.

Did you know that Bryce Canyon is the most rural place in the United States where 2,500 stars can be seen on a clear night? Take in the splendor where the Milky Way stretches across the night sky and where Jupiter and Venus are bright enough to cast your shadow at their Night Sky Programs.

 Zion National Park is one of my favorite destinations to escape the biting cold and enjoy another aspect of the many wonders of Utah. The Park is home to some breathtaking freestanding arches which continue to impress visitors time and again. A short distance away stands the spectacular Kolob Canyons with their deep red Navajo sandstone and rugged cliffs. 

 Zion offers many activities for all ages, including: Hiking, Horseback Riding, Birding, Bicycling, Camping, Backpacking, River Trips and much more.
