We recommend a sunrise hike to avoid the crowds and catch a lovely view before the selfies start for the day.

This was my favorite hike in all five Utah national parks. Every turn, every viewpoint, every rock along the 3.8 miles is just breath-taking.
03
Picnic above Cathedral Valley, Glass Mountain, Temple of the Sun, and of course fording the Freemont River!
04
This is the most popular destination in the Canyonlands NPS, and to see the sun rise over the canyon without a long line you must get here early!
05
Day-hikers go from the bottom up. Yes, you can do it with kids. No, you don’t have to go all the way to the endpoint to be able to enjoy it.
06
This year Conde Nast named it Utah’s best state park. There are petrified sand dunes at the park, and a lava tube that is so fun to explore.
07
Only have time for one single slot canyon adventure? Make it Buckskin Gulch- the world’s longest and tallest slot canyon.
08
Even if you’ve never been to Monument Valley, you’ve certainly see it; it’s been the red rock backdrop for hundreds of movies.
09
Goblin State Park can be a little out of the way, but you’ll never see anything like it anywhere else, so it’s worth the effort.
10
Mineral hot springs off the beaten path in Monroe. It's more natural, more laid back, and more chill than others in the state.
11
Camp at Lone Rock Beach State Park (pictured.) Bring you kayak and/or paddleboard and enjoy the sandy beaches and to-die-for sunsets.
12
The resorts are exceptional. From lodging to dining, ski and snowboard schools, and TONS of exciting things to do in Park City.
13
Rent a sand board or a sand sled from the park and then sail down with the wind in your hair!
