6. The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Kanab
This is both the most remote and the largest national monument in the United States. Naturally then, it’s also one of the top tourist spots in the state. Dating back more than 200 million years and spanning an area of more than one million acres, it’s quite (ahem) grand.
This colossal site features a vast wealth of artifacts and fossils. It’s a great place for canyoneers, hikers, and off-roaders as well. Explore the arches, forest, scrublands, slot canyons, and waterfalls.
7. The Great Salt Lake, Magna
This former prehistoric lake spanned a significant portion of the state millions of years ago. Today it’s the Western Hemisphere’s largest saltwater lake. Some call it America’s answer to the Dead Sea.
Fact is though, that, unlike the Dead Sea, this lake is home to a multitude of living things. It is also a popular place for swimming, kayaking, motorboating, sailing, wildlife spotting, sunbathing, and more. The scenery is gorgeous and the sunsets are incredibly colorful. You can even go camping here if you want to spend more than a few hours here.
