Utah is a southwestern landlocked U.S. state. It shares borders with Colorado (east), Wyoming (northeast) Idaho (north) Nevada (west), and Arizona (south). Utah has four biomes: wetlands, forests, alpine, and deserts. Some areas of Utah boast more than one biome in the same geographic area.
Salt Lake City is the capital of this remote state and is known for its awesome skiing. The most popular part of the state is “Utah’s Mighty Five”. The famous road trip driving through Utah’s five national parks takes around 5.5 hours non-stop.

When to visit Utah
The months of April, May, and June, as well as the months of August, September, and October, are the best months to visit Utah as the temperatures are milder and nature is either blossoming or turning a beautiful shade of orange, red, and brown. These are also considered the high season, which means prices will be higher, and the parks will be crowded. Visit during the winter months for a more intimate visit to the park and fewer crowds.
