MONUMENT CORNER
Nine percent of the state, 0.5% of its population - but that's due to a shortage of water, not scenery. You've seen San Juan County in John Ford/John Wayne westerns - monuments rising godlike from the valley floor - but the home of Monument Valley and Bears Ears looks a lot bigger in person.

UTAH'S OUTBACK REGION
Vying with its neighbors to the north and east for Remotest in Utah™. Kanab (pop. 5k) is the biggest city and the hub for all the state and national parks, monuments, etc. The area is also known for its concentration of drop-your-jaw, suck-in-your-gut slot canyons.
Key Locations
- Lake Powell
- Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
- Bryce Canyon National Park
- Grand Canyon National Park
- Highway 12
RED ROCK
Utah's bottom left (aka the Persian Golf, aka Virtuous Vegas) sits at the nexus of the Great Basin, the Colorado Plateau, and the Mojave Desert. It ranges from hot and low (Beaver Dam Wash is 2,180') to snowy Brian Head Peak (11,300'). Oh, and there's a national park you might have heard of.
Key Locations
- Zion National Park
- St. George
- Cedar Breaks National Monument
- Snow Canyon State Park
- Brian Head Resort
THE HOLEY LAND
Sacred ground for hikers, bikers, off-roaders, and river rats. This is where the Colorado Plateau really goes for it, from weird bumps and bulges in the Swell to implausible sandstone sculptures around the Green and Colorado Rivers. Don't tell anyone about it. They wouldn't believe you anyway.
Key Locations
- Arches & Capitol Reef National Parks
- Moab
- Goblin Valley State Park
- San Rafael Swell
- Dead Horse Point State Park
ATV COUNTRY
Is it the heart of Utah or the gut? Doesn't matter, because pristine forestland like this is the kind of thing you love so much it makes you hungry. The Arapeen and Paiute ATV trail networks wander for nearly 1,000 miles through evergreen and aspen wonderland. Bring your fishing pole.
Key Locations
- Yuba State Park
- Arapeen Trail
- Sevier River
- Marysvale
- Fishlake & Manti-La Sal National Forests
WEST DESERT
Sometimes you just want to load your truck with water, gasoline, and sandwiches and put a little distance between yourself and the rest of humanity. Satisfy your soul's itch for solitude in the mettle-testing mountains of the West Desert (and pop over to Great Basin National Park while you're out).
Key Locations
- Great Basin National Park
- Tushar Mountains
- Little Sahara Recreation Area
- Eagle Point Resort
- Sevier Lake
UNDER THE NOTCH
Where the blues and greens of the Rocky Mountains meet the reds, oranges, pinks, and yellows of the Colorado Plateau - Flaming Gorge isn't even trying not to show off - plus the oil, canyons, and fossils of Dinosaurland. No wonder John Wesley Powell wanted to visit.
Key Locations
- Kings Peak (Utah's high point)
- Flaming Gorge
- Dinosaur National Monument
- Green River
- Starvation, Steinaker & Red Fleet Reservoirs
WASATCH BACK
This is what rich people from Hollywood think Utah looks like. Move east from Park City's resorts and celebrity interlopers and you'll see the region stays beautifully green and blue in Wasatch Back reservoirs and on the north face of the Uintas. Hike, bike, boat, fish, 4x4 or (watch someone else) ride a bull in northern Utah's version of the wild west.
Key Locations
- Park City Mountain & Deer Valley Resorts
- Deer Creek, Jordanelle, Rockport & Strawberry Reservoirs
- Heber Valley Railroad
- Sundance Film Festival
- Uinta Mountains
WASATCH NORTH
Everything here feels tucked away. Just like you hide the good cookies on the top shelf, Utah keeps some of its best alpine adventures hidden all the way up north. Expect bucolic farmland around Logan, uncrowded locals-only ski resorts, and a giant secret freshwater Caribbean.
Key Locations
- Bear Lake
- Beaver Mountain, Cherry Peak, Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, Nordic Valley Resorts
- East Canyon State Park
- WSU, USU
LAKE BONNEVILLE
The top left corner of Utah was underwater until about 14,000 years ago. When Lake Bonneville drained, it left behind the Great Salt Lake and the even saltier Bonneville Salt Flats surrounded by the Great Basin's characteristic mountain fins jutting out of a rolling, rugged landscape.
Key Locations
- Bear River Bird Refuge
- Bonneville Salt Flats
- Golden Spike National Historic Park
- Great Salt Lake
- Spiral Jetty
WASATCH FRONT
Four percent of the state, 66% of its population - but This Is(n't Just) the Place for people-watching. The Wasatch Front transitions gracefully from skiable, bikeable mountains to big-city accommodations to the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere.
Key Locations
- Great Salt Lake
- Alta, Brighton, Snowbird, Solitude, Sundance Resorts
- Temple Square
- SLC Int'l Airport
- Antelope Island
