3. Visit Bryce Canyon National Park

Known for its otherworldly “hoodoos,” Bryce Canyon is a natural amphitheater of spires, cliffs, and breathtaking viewpoints. Sunrise here is absolutely worth the early wake-up call.

4. Hike Snow Canyon State Park

Just outside of St. George, Snow Canyon offers lava flows, sand dunes, and family-friendly trails. It’s a smaller, less crowded alternative to the big national parks—but every bit as beautiful.

5. See the Waterfall at Toquerville Falls

Drive (or take a guided Jeep tour 😉) out to this hidden desert oasis. The twin waterfalls and swimming holes make it a perfect spot to cool off in the summer.

6. Wander Through Kanarra Falls Slot Canyon

This moderate hike takes you into a stunning red rock canyon where ladders lead up waterfalls. It’s less crowded than The Narrows but just as memorable.

7. Spend a Day at Sand Hollow Reservoir

This bright blue lake surrounded by red rock cliffs is perfect for paddleboarding, boating, fishing—or just relaxing on the beach. It’s also right next to world-class off-roading trails.

8. Stargaze in the Desert

Southern Utah is famous for its dark skies. Head out at night to see the Milky Way stretch across the horizon. Cedar Breaks and Capitol Reef are both designated International Dark Sky Parks. We highly recommend a locally owned company called Dark Skies Astronomy Tours! https://www.darkskiesastronomytours.com/

9. Visit Cedar Breaks National Monument

Often called a “mini Bryce Canyon,” this high-elevation park is full of colorful cliffs, alpine meadows, and wildflowers in the summer.

10. Explore the Sandstone Tunnels of Peek-a-Boo & Spooky Gulch

For the more adventurous, these slot canyons near Escalante are narrow, winding, and unforgettable. Just be ready to squeeze through some tight spaces!
