Four Seasons of Fun
Southern Utah is an all-year-round paradise, offering unique experiences across its four distinct seasons. Winter blankets the mountains in feet of fresh powder, creating a sparkling escape full of skiing, snowboarding, snowmobile tours and snowshoe hikes. In spring, the snow capped slopes are still ripe for shredding, while the lower meadows are filled with blooming wildflowers that offer scenic hikes and wildlife excursions. The summer sun casts a warm glow over our red rock formations and lush alpine forests, inviting you to hike, bike, climb, and canyoneer your way across the area. And fall’s autumn leaves and fair temperatures are perfect for long scenic drives, abundant fishing, and peaceful kayak sessions. In short, the only bad time to visit is never at all!
The Mighty 5: Utah's National Parks
Southern Utah is home to The Mighty 5 – five renowned national parks that are a testament to nature's grandeur. Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands each offer unique landscapes and adventures to explore. Hike through enchanting red rock landscapes full of geological gems; gaze at dark night skies scattered with stars and glittering galaxies; stroll through deep slot canyons and scale to breathtaking heights; and discover ancient stories etched in stone. Then return to your homebase near the national parks to rest, reminisce, and get ready for tomorrow’s adventure.
