Utah’s National Parks

Utah’s National Parks are among the most spectacular natural destinations in the United States. Known collectively as the Mighty Five—Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands—they offer breathtaking red-rock landscapes, scenic drives, world-class hiking and unforgettable outdoor adventures that make Utah one of North America’s premier road trip destinations.

Drawing on more than three decades of international destination management experience, this guide combines practical planning advice, carefully selected recommendations and insider perspective in one place. You can prepare with confidence, make informed decisions and get more from every day of your journey through trusted recommendations, practical planning tools and everything you need in one comprehensive destination guide.

Experience Utah’s National Parks

• Explore Utah’s spectacular national parks, scenic byways and outdoor adventures throughout the state: ⁠Utah Experiences

• Discover towering sandstone cliffs, The Narrows and Angel’s Landing in ⁠Zion National Park Experiences. Zion is approximately 2½ hours by road from Las Vegas and is often the starting point for a Mighty Five road trip.

• Experience the extraordinary hoodoos, scenic overlooks and hiking trails of ⁠Bryce Canyon National Park Experiences. Bryce Canyon is about 85 miles (137 km) or 1½ hours northeast of Zion, making it an easy addition to the same itinerary.

• Explore colorful cliffs, historic orchards and the remarkable Waterpocket Fold at ⁠Capitol Reef National Park Experiences. Capitol Reef lies approximately 150 miles (240 km) or 2½ hours west of Moab.

• Stay in Moab, the ideal base for visiting both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. The entrances to both parks are within about 30–40 minutes of downtown, making it easy to experience natural sandstone arches, dramatic canyon vistas, scenic drives, rafting and hiking from one convenient location: ⁠Moab Experiences

• Plan a classic Mighty Five road trip by combining Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef and Moab over 7–10 days. This itinerary allows plenty of time to discover the unique landscapes of all five national parks while enjoying some of the finest scenic drives in the American Southwest.
