To extend your trip out West and see why Alex and Garrett love Utah, consider visiting nearby Park City for shops, hikes, and dining, or rent a car and drive a few hours south to explore Utah’s stunning National Parks.

We’ve put together a high-level guide below with some of our favorite recommendations.

Hiking the Wasatch Range and Uinta Mountains

There are numerous hikes in the area for all skill levels that showcase alpine lakes, aspen forests, and scenic vistas. One of our favorite hikes is Bloods Lake Trailhead.

Shopping on Main Street

Spend an afternoon walking up Park City's historic Main Street, visiting local shops (including one of Alex's favorites, Dolly's Bookstore), grabbing a bite to eat, or taking Town Lift for a scenic ride up the mountain.

Visit the Utah Olympic Park

Take a tour through Olympic history at the Utah Olympic Park. Browse artifacts on display, experience interactive exhibits, and ride down the former Olympic bobsled track.

Zion National Park

Experience the dramatic red rock landscape that southern Utah has to offer. As one of Alex and Garrett's first hiking adventures together, we highly recommend our guests look into hiking both Angel's Landing and The Narrows if visiting Zion.

Please note that permits are required to hike Angel's Landing and are issued via a lottery system between April 1st - April 20th or the day before on recreation.gov. For The Narrows, permits are not required but bring or rent appropriate gear.

Bryce Canyon National Park

The surreal landscape of Bryce Canyon is defined by its colorful rock pillars and unique formations. Take it all in at the Bryce Amphitheater, get a birds‑eye view from Inspiration Point, and see the iconic standalone hoodoo, Thor’s Hammer.

Arches National Park

Known for it's natural sandstone arches, visiting the iconic Delicate Arch is a must for first-time visitors. Additionally, the park showcases Landscape Arch and Balanced Rock.

Canyonlands National Park, Capitol Reef National Park, and more!

Outside of Zion, Bryce, and Arches, Utah's "Mighty 5" also includes Canyonlands National Park, and

Capitol Reef National Park. Beyond the great National Parks, guests should consider working in Antelope Canyon, driving through the scenic Monument Valley, and stopping by Grand Staircase-Escalante.
