Welcome to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” – Utah’s paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts! As host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City knows how to entertain winter fun seekers. Snowboarders and skiers head for miles of spectacular slopes with deep fluffy powder and breathtaking mountain views. The Olympic Park provides family-friendly ski programs, rides and shows. Alta, Sundance, Snowbird and Brighton are other popular destinations for cross country and Alpine skiers. Those alluring snowy slopes turn to rolling wildflower fields in the summer. Golfing, fishing, horseback riding and water sports replace chilly outdoor sports adventures. Corral the family, pack a picnic and catch one of the ski lifts for an afternoon of hiking or mountain biking along scenic trails. Head to Salt Lake City, where Temple Square hosts millions of visitors a year. Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park are famous for surreal landscapes from horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters to unusual rock formations and hundreds of natural sandstone arches. Closer to home, wander along the quaint main streets of mountain villages to browse, shop and enjoy lunch at an outdoor café. At the end of the day, head home for an outdoor barbecue and an evening of games. Home rentals blend privacy, space and comfort with the cost-saving advantage of eating some meals at home.

Conveniently located at the west side of town, the education centger has self-guided displays that explain the Bears Ears National Monument. The docent gave us advice about things to see in the area. This is very much worth the time.

Despite not being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I knew I had to make a trip to Brigham Young University while in Utah because of my deep, abiding interest in Mormon culture (and profound love of Provo's Most Eligible). Here are my thoughts: - My husband and I scheduled a golf cart tour which we highly recommend, particularly because we were visiting on a 96-degree July day. Our student guide was clearly mystified as to why two Boston-based non-members were touring the campus, but was very gracious and knowledgeable. - If you're visiting BYU primarily as a tourist site, I'd suggest checking out the amazing free art museum, enjoying some delicious ice cream at the Creamery, and going bowling at the student center. I have to say, I also found the BYU Store absolutely mesmerizing. Where else can you find missionary action figures and Brick'Em Young temple building sets? - My advice to any non-member visitors: please be mindful about what you wear while on the campus. Out of consideration to Mormon modesty standards, I made a point of wearing a blouse with capped sleeves and long pants, but if I could go back in time, I would without a doubt wear a dress or skirt. Perhaps this is less true during the academic year when there are more students on campus, but when I visited in the summertime, I didn't observe a single woman in pants the entire day. I definitely stuck out like a sore thumb. A visit to BYU would not be everyone's cup of tea. However, I found this to be one of the most memorable days of my trip to Utah!

After reading TripAdvisor reviews describing the Utah State University campus with descriptive words such as beautiful, gorgeous, amazing, stunning, breathtaking, scenic, park like, I, like TripAdvisor reviewer Randall R, was skeptical of the hyperbole. Well, I was wrong. The Utah State University campus lives up to these reviews, and then some. It is one of the most lovely collage campuses and looks like something that Disney would create if Disney built a college. We visited on an early evening in July and strolled the tree lined path up Old Main Hill, visited the kissing A and the Historic Old Main building. We walked around the quad, visited the demonstration gardens and then finally over to the Nutrition & Food Science building for some Aggie ice cream. If you are visiting Logan, particularly in the summer or fall, make sure you take time to stroll the Utah State University grounds.

Visit the Ripple Rock Nature Center, located on the Scenic Drive, just south of the visitor center. Kids can spin wool, pretend to milk a cow, make cornmeal on a prehistoric grinding stone, identify fossils or play with animal puppets.
