- Day Trips
- There is no end to the beautiful scenery crowding the state of Utah. Home to five national parks, Utah also boasts world-class skiing from November to April. Visit Park City, host to the 2002 Winter Olympics, and check out the powder for yourself. The surrounding Wasatch Mountains offer hiking and fishing in the off-season, and the scenic byways threading the Wasatch-Cache National Forest are a great way to see the area by car. To experience the Great Salt Lake, visit Antelope Island State Park. Swimming, sailing, and bird-watching are popular activities, and sunsets over the lake can be spectacular.
