Utah is a western state of monumental landscapes, home to five of America's most dramatic national parks — Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. Red rock canyons, ancient hoodoos, towering sandstone arches, and the vast Bonneville Salt Flats define a state unlike anywhere else on Earth. Salt Lake City, the capital, anchors the north with world-class skiing, a growing food scene, and a gateway to the Wasatch Range.
