adventurers. With national and state parks like Capitol Reef National Park, Fremont Indian State Park and Fishlake National Forest, you’ll have a lot to explore.
Fanciful, castle-like formations can be seen jutting out from sandstone walls in various locations throughout the region. For an out-of-this-world experience, take a trip to Goblin Valley State Park in Emery County. It’s filled with unique sandstone formations, known as “hoodoos,” that often resemble goblins or other mythical creatures. The landscape is so surreal that many sci-fi programs have taken advantage of the area for filming purposes.
If you’d rather take a trip back in time, consider a visit to the ClevelandLloyd Dinosaur Quarry, where you can literally walk among fossilized dinosaur bones — just be sure to plan ahead, as their operation schedule is limited.
