19 Hidden Gems In Utah No One Tells You About

When you think of Utah, you are probably conjuring up images of rocky, desert landscapes found in the state’s most famous national parks.

While places like Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park have attracted thousands of people to the state to explore its natural treasures, there still lies plenty of hidden gems in Utah for the globetrotting traveler who desires to be off the beaten path.

While anyone visiting Utah should absolutely go to places like Zion National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Arches National Park, those wanting to know Utah’s secrets and lesser known attractions will want to make sure they tick off the following spots…

ATV adventures in Sand Hollow, St George

This 20,000 acre state park is Utah’s newest and well renowned for its 6,000 acres of ATV and OHV off-road trails that take you to 3,500 ft in elevation. It’s WOW at every airborne turn!

Snow Canyon State Park, St George

This park is comprised of volcanic cinder cone, sand dunes, deep red, burnt orange, yellow and white sandstone cliffs, and twisted layers of rock. It’s also a popular place in Utah for rock climbing.

Red Reef Trail, St George

The Red Reef hiking trail was the girls first introduction to adventurous hiking. They fell in love. I’ll never forget the fear and excitement on their faces as they climbed up a steep rock face next to a waterfall with only a rope to hold on. Their bravery was amazing

Spooky and Peek-a-Boo, Grand Escalante

Peek-a-boo and Spooky Canyon are slot canyons deep within Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It’s intense – filled with holes to climb up and crawl through. The adventure only gets better with a 12 inch narrow space to slide through at the very end.

Lower Calf Creek Falls, Highway Scenic 12, Utah

The Lower Calf Creek Falls is in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Southern Utah. The trail winds a valley enclosed by towering cliffs of red, pink, orange and yellow – that is oh so typical of Utah, the most colorful place in the world.
