Welcome To Utah

Our four-season climate is stimulating and promotes a healthy lifestyle. Altitude ranges from a low of 2,350 feet in southwestern Washington County, to more than 13,500 feet in the High Uintas, while Salt Lake City is 4,330 feet.

The average maximum daylight temperature for Utah's metropolitan area ranges from 37° Fahrenheit (27°C) in January to 93°F (33°C) in July. The state's "wide, open spaces" are a patchwork of scenic, recreational, and historic venues.

Nearly eighty percent of the state is contained in blocks of land administered for public use by federal and state agencies. These Utah "parks" and "playgrounds" are enormous—sprawling and unforgettable with five national parks, three national monuments, two national recreation areas, a national historic site, forty-three state parks, and millions of acres of forests, deserts and grasslands. Utah offers some of the most beautiful creations in the world. Within this varied landscape are hidden treasures and experiences that appeal to everyone, from the rugged, solitude-seeking explorer to the family wanting a relaxing getaway. 

A wide variety of outdoor adventure can be found in Utah. It's an exciting mix, including trails to explore on foot, on horseback, or via off-highway vehicle. You will find roads for bicycling, rivers to float, slopes just waiting to be skied, scenic golf courses, guided tours and a surprising variety of wildlife viewing options.
