Utah

Elevate your Adventurous Spirit in Utah. Home to five national parks, 43 state parks, seven national monuments, two national recreation areas, impossible landscapes, and unparalleled outdoor recreation opportunities, Utah features the best of both the Rocky Mountains and the Desert Southwest. Whether mountain biking, fly fishing, springtime skiing, rock climbing, bird watching, or golf, Utah has it all.

One of Utah’s defining characteristics is the variety of its terrain. From the majestic Wasatch Mountains of the north, home to world class ski resorts, to the deep red rock canyons of southern Utah, Utah defines diversity.

Northern Utah In Northern Utah, you’ll find fun wherever you look. From the gorgeous blue water of Bear Lake to the Wasatch and Uinta mountain ranges and so many points in between, Northern Utah is the North Star of Utah’s vacation options. It’s the first place you look to get your bearings on all that Utah has to offer.

Central Utah Central Utah is a transitional stretch of land between alpine forests of the north and the redrock canyons of the south. It’s a vast expanse of mountain, plateau and high desert, ideal for the traveler in search of true solitude. But that doesn’t mean you won’t find other people enjoying a multitude of activities here.

Southern Utah Known as Utah’s Dixie, Southern Utah is a land of unsurpassed beauty. It’s evident in the dramatic snow-capped mountains; in the towering fins of ruddy sandstone cut by erosion into bridges, arches, and strange “hoodoos” of stone; in impressive faults where the earth twists, contrasting with gentle, rolling hummocks of “slickrock.” No matter where you look, the colors of Southern Utah will be forever in your memory.

We admit it — we’re different. Just the way our nature intended.

Combining the amenities of a major metropolitan area with the friendliness of a small, western city, Salt Lake City is an ideal location for a vacation. A beautiful, safe, and vibrant city, Salt Lake combines unparalleled access to natural recreation, dynamic nightlife, remarkable history, warm hospitality, and Utah’s Greatest Snow on Earth.™

Things to Do – One thing you’ll never do in Salt Lake is run out of things to do. Animal antics and winged wonders can be found at the zoo and aviary. Go sightseeing and take in the Great Salt Lake, or hear a concert by the world-famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Arts and culture options in Salt Lake vary from dinosaur museums, and art galleries, to world-class ballet, opera, and symphony performances.

Restaurants & Bars - You’re never far from your next great Salt Lake meal because a surprisingly diverse assortment of cafés and restaurants are waiting for you. Salt Lake also boasts a vibrant nightlife with nightclubs, sports bars, piano bars, pubs and martini bars; which means there’s plenty here to keep you up long after the sun goes down.

Places to Stay – From the heart of the city to the edge of the wilderness, Salt Lake has a host of options for you to set up a perfect base camp for your visit to Salt Lake. Full-service hotels and lodges at the mountain resorts provide a bit of luxury in the wilderness from on-site spa services to gourmet meals, heated pools, and fitness centers. If the city life is more your style, you’ll find just what you’re looking for at hotels and motels across the valley. Downtown offers base “camp” options from 5-diamond luxury hotels to all-suite locations to basic, clean economy rooms, or charming bed & breakfast inns.

Sevier County is located in the heart of central Utah and may very well be Utah’s “best kept recreational secret”. With over 1,000 miles of trail through nearly a million acres of public land, the Paiute Trail system allows visitors to get on an ATV, motorcycle or mountain bike and ride through beautiful red rock canyons or aspen forests for as far as the eye can see.

The Paiute Trail traverses three different mountain ranges climbing to points over 11,000 feet in elevation. And, no matter what your skill level, the Paiute has something for you to enjoy. Finally, don’t forget the annual Rocky Mountain ATV Jamboree held each September in Richfield, Utah – a great way to get to meet new friends and enjoy central Utah’s trail systems!

For those interested in Native American history, the Fremont Indian State Park is sure to pique your interest with artifacts, petroglyphs and pictographs that date back hundreds, and sometimes thousands of years. Spend some time at the museum or better yet, hike through the park and see the amazing historical evidence left behind by the Fremont people. Don’t forget to ask about the “alien” petroglyph just behind the museum.

When visiting central Utah, don’t miss Fish Lake. Nestled in the mountains, Fish Lake is a natural lake that provides some of the best fishing around. Rainbow, Brown and Mackinaw trout are plentiful in the lake. After a day on the lake, enjoy a good meal at one of the restaurants along the banks, hike the shore line trail, or drive the Fish Lake Scenic Byway – a path that in the early 1800’s was known as the Fish Lake cutoff of the Old Spanish Trail.

For the more adventurous at heart, be sure to stop by Big Rock Candy Mountain. Run the river in a raft of kayak, enjoy rock climbing or event take a ride on the new zip line. Also, don’t forget the Candy Mountain Express bike trail that runs through along the Sevier River.

No matter where you are in Sevier County, be sure to keep an eye open for the many species of wildlife that are prevalent in the area. From the trophy elk herds that roam through the Fishlake National Forest to the ever increasing population of Bald Eagles that dot the sky, Sevier County is a wildlife wonderland.

Whatever brings you to Sevier County, its breathtaking beauty and recreational opportunities are sure to help make it an experience that you, your family and friends can enjoy. For more information, please call 1-877-47-EVENT or visit www.visitsevier.com.
