About Us
Who are we? Where are we from? Why are we here? Where are we going?
Utah.com is a travel site. We like to tell people about Utah. We can help you plan the trip you'll be talking about on your deathbed. And we're good at it because...
…we’ve got discriminating taste. Anyone can tell you something awesome about Utah, and a couple of sites will tell you that everything in Utah is awesome. (Never trust a person who claims to like everything.) Utah.com has seen it all — twice — and we know what’s worth travelers’ time. We know the good from the best, and we’re not afraid to point out the overhyped, overpriced and underwhelming.
…we friggin’ love this place. We were assigned Virginia, but we did our 5th grade state report on Utah anyway. We can name all the state parks from memory. We know the third verse of the state song. And our devotion means we can’t tolerate boring stories about Utah. Or ugly photos. Or a bad user experience. You expect the very best intel as you plan your trip, and we’re proud to deliver. Expert knowledge, expertly presented.
Perfect powder, rugged red rock, alpine lakes and more. If Utah don’t got it, you don’t need it.
Every state thinks it’s fun. Every state claims to have “something for everyone.” But not every state has 3.5 distinct geographic regions, five national parks, 45 state parks, 5 national historic sites & trails, and a dozen national monuments & recreation areas.
Not every state lets you ski and golf and go to the ballet in one day. Not every state has 12,000 years of human history and fry sauce. We’re sorry. We know it’s not fair. But hey, Utah’s landlocked, so at least it doesn’t have nice beaches. (No, wait. Actually, it does.)
So while we feel an appropriate amount of guilt over our state being disproportionately fantastic, we’re also not going to hide Utah’s light under a bushel. That’d be selfish. And we’re not selfish. We love sharing our state. In fact, we want to help you plan a Utah vacation right now. Check the Travel Tips below for a few ideas!
If you’re the goal-oriented, list-making type, visiting Utah ain’t easy. You want to see everything, you really do, but you just can’t. Every time you set out to check something off your bucket list, you end up adding three more.
A tidy little three-day weekend in Zion might inspire a trip to Coral Pink Sand Dunes, which leads to Rocking V Cafe in Kanab, then Highway 12 Scenic Byway, then the Burr Trail, and the next thing you know you’re becoming a True Aggie under a full moon. In a rock climbing harness for some reason.
Or you plan a ski trip to one Utah ski resort and realize you can drive an hour and ski 10 more. But while you’re there, someone on the lift says something about buffalo and the world’s preeminent work of land art at the edge of the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere, so now you have to do that, too. Before dinner and a concert downtown.
Well, Utah.com is here to pile on. We’ve made it our mission to aggregate all the always-awesome, often-obscure adventures that could only occur in our lovely Deseret. It’s a local view of weird and awesome stuff you didn’t know you couldn’t live without. We’ve done our best to help you see them efficiently with essential Utah information and helpful trip itineraries, but touring Utah is like falling into quicksand: Every move you make sucks you deeper into its thrall.
So we’re sorry to deliver a fantastic bit of bad news: It’s mathematically impossible to finish your Utah bucket list. But we’ll help you plan the trip you’ll be talking about on your deathbed.
