The 5 Awesome Utah National Parks
The scenery in Utah makes it one of the best vacation spots in the world especially if you are an outdoor lover. Here are 5 Utah National Parks that you are going to want to add on your list of things to see the next time you plan a vacation in Utah.
- The Arches National Park
The Arches National is a extremely beautiful park and it receives a ton of visitors every year. There are hundreds of gigantic arch shapped sandstones throughout the park.
The most amazing part about these structures it is that they formed completely from nature. it almost unbelievable that they formed naturally and not aided by mankind.
2. Bryce Canyon National Park
This park has some of the most breathtaking viewpoints which you will ever see. On top of these canyons you will be able to see some amazing rock formations and I have to imagine it is an unrivaled place to study geology. There is no other place that does a better job of showing off how beautiful the Utah scenery can be.
3. Canyonlands
Canyonlands is known for their gigantic Needle rock formations which can be extremely impressive. The needles seem to break out of the ground and fill the huge valley with these unbelieveable rock formations. The only bad part about this park is that it is split into 3 different sections.
If you travel to one section you will not be able to see what the others have to offer. It takes at least 3 days to see everything the park has to offer because each section is a day trip on its own.
4. Capitol Reef National Park
This is a very interesting spot with an amazing wash. The Waterpocket in the park formed around 65 million years ago and stretches 100 miles. This is truly a site to see. Another interesting thing to see in the park is the great indian carvings which you will be able to take a close look at.
5. Zions
Zions contains a number of interesting waterfalls and water pools. It is more along the line of a traditional forest and has some great waterfall hikes in it.
Each of the great Utah National Parks on this list are extremely beautiful and show off Utah’s wonderful land. The next time you are vacationing in Southern Utah make sure you spend a few days visiting them.
