No state showcases oldies but goodies better than Utah. As you drive its byways, Earth’s history is an open book. Utah’s arches, hoodoos, pinnacles and canyons are a lesson in geology and erosion. Wide-ranging collections of dinosaur bones, petrified wood and fossilized sea creatures reveal nature’s diversity and adaptability. Petroglyphs, arrowheads, pottery and community ruins are evidence of extensive ancient human settlements. With five national parks spread across its lower half, Utah is world-renowned for its natural beauty and peak season crowds. The scenic byways connect to lesser-visited areas throughout the state that are equally picturesque and more representative of Utah’s extraordinary offerings.
