Utah is a state that can be found in the southwestern section of the U.S. It is a popular tourist spot due to the fact that it offers something to the traveler all throughout the year. Some of these activities include hiking, boating, skiing, and rock climbing. Salt Lake City is the largest city in the state, as well as the capital. This one city has a number of prominent historical sites. Cedar City is known for hosting a Shakespeare Festival each year, and it is also the location of the Southern Utah University. One of the best centers for tourists is Moab, which can be found in the southern part of the state. It comprises the Dead Horse Point State Park. The George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park can be found in the city of Ogden.

One of the most luxurious mountain resorts can be found in the town of Park City. A number of events from the 2002 Winter Olympics were held here. Perhaps one the most impressive things about this state is its shear number of national parks. Paying about $50 will allow the tourist to gain access to all of these parks for about 12 months. Some of the more prominent national parks include the Bryce Canyon National Park, the Capitol Reef National Park, and the Canyonlands National Park. Dinosaur lovers will not want to leave without visiting the Dinosaur National Monument, which hosts a large excavation of dinosaur fossils and stone art. It should also be noted that the alcohol laws in Utah are more strict than other states due to its religious community.
