 Utah is blessed with an abundance of outstanding natural resources on both its public and private lands, providing great destinations and attractions for outdoor recreationists and tourists. In 2003, 17.2 million visitors traveled to Utah.
Utah is a landlocked state that borders on Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona
and Wyoming. The capital of the state, Salt Lake City hosted the 2002 Olympics.
It is most famous for being the state where the Mormon Church (The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) has its world headquarters, as well as the
location of many gorgeous places.
In the south of the state Glen Canyon National Recreation Area offers
unparalleled opportunities for water-based & backcountry recreation. The park
offers opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, backcountry hiking and
four-wheel drive trips. Canyonlands and Capitol Reef National parks are close by
and offer more excellent outdoor opportunities.
In Springdale you find Zion National Park with the world's largest natural
arch, the Kolob Arch.
