Americas - United States - Utah
A land of extremes, Utah holds a special appeal for outdoor enthusiasts, encompassing a wide variety of landscapes and fascinating geological formations that offer unlimited opportunities for outdoor recreation. Most of the state is situated on a plateau above 4,000 ft, but the elevations rise and fall spectacularly across snow-covered mountains and deep river canyons. The most significant sights and attractions have been formed by the dramatic forces of nature, creating ruggedly beautiful, multicolored canyons, eroded rock sculptures, red desert plains, forested mountains and snow-capped peaks. Southern Utah has five breathtaking national parks, including Zion and Bryce Canyon, which draw the most visitors, but the lesser-known parks are just as spectacular. The rugged terrain of this little-populated state begs to be biked, hiked, skied and otherwise actively explored. Utah is also defined by modern Mormons, whose social and political influence reverberates throughout the state. When the Mormon pioneers reached the area in 1847, they, too (like the Native Americans 7000 years before them), felt a spiritual response and claimed it as their new home (their Zion). Whatever their belief system, for many visitors, the magical landscape of Utah feels like heaven on earth.
