Whether shooting rapids in a kayak sounds like a magnificent morning or watching for wildlife is more your speed, Utah offers an adventure for all levels. For example, if an adrenaline rush is not on your vacation to-do list, take an easy hike through the red rocks of Arches National Park, gaze into the night sky for a chance to see the glorious Milky Way, or cast your line into one of the state’s plentiful streams and rivers to see what you might catch. But, if excitement is part of your outdoor adventure plan, consider ATVing through lush forests, mountain biking along one of Utah’s epic trails, or snowboarding down a powdery trail. Your challenge won’t be what to do—it will be how to fit it all in during your visit!
