There are many places in Utah that can
seem as much like another world as another state. From massive rock
arches to oddly shaped pillars to sheer river gorges, it's a land
that has been bent by weather and time into strange, fantastic
shapes.
Accordingly, many visitors to Utah
will do anything -- hike, bicycle, paddle, rock climb, ski or
snowboard -- to experience the natural wildness the state has to
offer. If these kinds of adventurous activities are for you, you'll
find Utah one of the premier destinations in the U.S.
There also are plenty of less
arduous ways to get the lay of the land. The many national parks
have well-maintained roads and moderate hiking trails that will let
you take in the natural splendor without breaking much of a sweat.
Or you could gaze at the red-rock canyons from the comfort of a
houseboat on Lake Powell. Whatever method you choose, plan on being
outside: This is a place where the most significant sights are made
of sky and stone, built by wind and water rather than humans.
