The Ultimate Utah Travel Guide

Utah will always have a special place in our hearts. It was the first place we ever moved together. Living in Salt Lake City gave us a taste of the beautiful landscape. However, getting out of town and exploring the parks in the state had us falling in love with Utah. This Utah travel guide will give you access to all of our Utah travel posts. From day trips to National Parks to a weekend in Salt Lake City, you’ll find plenty of information to help you plan your Utah vacation.

Top 5 Things to do in Utah

With warmer than normal temperatures compared with the rest of the US, Utah is a popular destination in the spring and fall months. During spring and fall, you’ll find comfortable temperatures throughout the state. You’ll also find smaller crowds at top tourist destinations.

Summer is hot in Utah. With lots of things to do outside, temperatures can be unbearable. However, in the areas of higher elevation, like the areas around Salt Lake City, you’ll find colder temperatures and even snow. However, as school in the U.S. takes a break during the summer months, you’ll find that Utah is still very busy this time of year.

Winter is a great time to visit Utah if you are interested in skiing or snowboarding. The mountains surrounding Salt Lake City are a top destination for winter sports enthusiasts.
