12. The City Of St. George

This city is situated on the Arizona border. Visit any time you like as there is something to do here all year long. This family-friendly metropolis offers an almost endless assortment of cultural institutions from which to choose. Highlights include a great golf course, hiking trails to state parks, Jurassic-era dinosaur tracks, and the super St. George Children’s Museum. Indeed, just a short jaunt from here is the famous Grand Canyon.

 

13. Bryce Canyon National Park, Bryce

Regular readers may recall that this national park encompasses an area of nearly 36,000 acres, and has been recognized by the human race for thousands of years. It is nigh-famous for its scarlet rock formations and the various natural amphitheaters that are the product of stream erosion and frost weathering. Almost three million travelers come here annually.  

Be sure to visit early in the morning or stay overnight because both sunrises and sunsets make this spot even more colorful. If you enjoy hiking and horseback riding, visit in the warmer months. If you prefer more chilling challenges such as snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, come in the winter. You can camp here too.
