Utah landscapes are otherworldly, sculpted by wind, water, and time. Start with the Mighty Five National Parks of Arches and Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Bryce Canyon and Zion. Refuel with stops in Moab and St. George. And please, don’t overlook the BLM’s sublime Valley of the Gods.

Canyon country is the heart of the American Southwest, where red rock formations rise like ancient cathedrals and the desert sky stretches into infinity.

Here, the land speaks to us in a language beyond words, where the tales of time are etched into towering sandstone cliffs and the wind carries secrets from the depths of history. — Kim Grant
