Territorial
Statehouse State Park Museum
Territorial Statehouse in Fillmore is
Utah's oldest existing governmental
building. In anticipation of Utah's
statehood, early pioneer Brigham Young
directed construction of the building as
the state's capitol. Only the south wing
was ever completed. The existing portion
was finished in time for the December
1855 meeting of the Territorial
Legislature, which was the only full
session held in the old statehouse. In
December 1858, the seat of government
was returned to Salt Lake City.
Territorial
Statehouse State Park Museum offers a
museum store, and auditorium. Also, an
All-American Rose Society Garden and

National Parks
Arches
Moab, UT
Arches National Park preserves over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, like the world-famous Delicate Arch, as well as many other unusual rock formations. In some areas, the forces of nature have exposed millions of years of geologic history. The extraordinary features of the park create a landscape of contrasting colors, landforms and textures that is unlike any other in the world.
National Park
Bryce Canyon
Bryce Canyon, UT
What is Bryce Canyon? Attempts at description lead to paradoxes. Cave without a ceiling? Forest of stone? Even canyon is misleading since Bryce is carved by freeze-thaw cycles, not a river. Yet, "world's largest pothole" is neither adequate nor flattering. Tour our Website. You'll be enticed to visit Bryce in person. Once here, maybe you'll agree with those who simply say, "Bryce is the Bryce!"
National Historic Trail
California
Various States
Follow in the footsteps of over 250,000 emigrants who traveled to the gold fields and rich farmlands of California during the 1840s and 1850s-the greatest mass migration in American history. More than 1,000 miles of trail ruts and traces can still be seen across 10 states on the California National Historic Trail.
National Park
Canyonlands
Moab, UT
Canyonlands preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas and buttes by the Colorado River and its tributaries. The rivers divide the park into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze and the rivers themselves. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character and offers different opportunities for exploration.
National Park
Capitol Reef
Torrey, UT
The Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mile long wrinkle in the earth's crust known as a monocline, extends from nearby Thousand Lakes Mountain to the Colorado River (now Lake Powell).

National Monument
Dinosaur
Vernal, Utah & Dinosaur, Colorado, CO,UT
Dinosaurs once roamed here. Their fantastic remains are still visible embedded in the rocks. Today, the mountains, desert and untamed rivers flowing in deep canyons, support an array of life.

National Monument
Natural Bridges
Blanding, UT
Natural Bridges preserves some of the finest examples of natural stone architecture in the southwest. On a tree-covered mesa next to deep sandstone canyons, three natural bridges formed when meandering streams slowly cut through the canyon walls. In honor of the Native Americans that made this area their home, the bridges are named "Kachina," "Owachomo" and "Sipapu."
National Historic Trail
Old Spanish
AZ,CA,CO,NV,NM,UT

National Monument
Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Bridge National Monument, UT
Rainbow Bridge is the world's largest known natural bridge.

National Park
Zion
Springdale, UT
Massive canyon walls ascend toward a brilliant blue sky. To experience Zion, you need to walk among the towering cliffs, or challenge your courage in a small narrow canyon. These unique sandstone cliffs range in color from cream, to pink, to red. They could be described as sand castles crowning desert canyons.
