Utah Vacations

Marvel at the contrasts of free-flowing red sandstone landscapes and fresh blue skies, arid deserts, and verdant coniferous forests in Utah. There is little uniformity in the terrain of this naturally beautiful state, lending to a sense of excitement that is difficult to capture in other destinations. Utah vacations use this to their advantage and present travelers with myriad opportunities to get out and explore.

Select from escorted rail tours that feature multiple geographic locations or independent packages that home in on one specific city or region. Embark on a Utah family vacation to the Mighty 5 for a first-hand look at the sheer majesty of nature. This deserving nickname highlights the Utah national parks for what they are: mighty, incredible, and not easily forgotten. In Bryce Canyon National Park, twisting scarlet-red hoodoos give an otherworldly feel to the terrain. Soaring naturally formed archways and amazing rock formations are hallmarks of Arches National Park. Zion National Park's pink and red slot canyons and sheer sandstone cliffs are a breathtaking reminder of nature's prowess. Vast sandstone mesas, towering rocks that look as though they were sculpted by hand, and plunging canyons are hallmarks of Canyonlands National Park. The final of the Mighty 5, Capitol Reef National Park, is perhaps the least known, but what it lacks in instant recognition, it makes up for in astounding views. From white domes to stunning arches and the Waterpocket Fold, there is much to discover in this hidden gem. Visits to Utah's protected parklands can be combined with time in the history-filled capital, Salt Lake City, or in Moab, the gateway to wild parklands, for a well-rounded expedition in the state where adventure is as bountiful as the scenery.
