Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Park
Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park is a stunning destination offering guided tours of vast limestone caverns, as well as picturesque trails, picnic spots, and a well-equipped campground. The park has seen recent improvements including a new visitors center. The classic tour led by experienced guides offers breathtaking views along the way and interesting facts about the area. However, it's important to note that the tour is physically demanding with steep ascents and challenging maneuvers within the caves.
We loved the main cavern tour. We hiked about 3/4 of a mile up the paved trail to the cavern opening. There were a lot of stairs but as active seniors, we could do it without difficulty. There are some tight places and a lot of crouching so as not to hit your head. The rooms were full of stalagmites and stalactites, rock shaped like ribbons of bacon, popcorn, and columns. It was incredible to see and photograph. We loved our experience. There is another tour that is more accessible for younger kids and mobility challenged people.
Linda R — Google review
I had a really great experience with our guild Dean on the moderate tour. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor but very stern when we weren't to touch something. Now the view of the surrounding area from up top at the cave entrance was just amazing. Definitely recommend a must go see.
Tom R — Google review
We took the “Classic Tour” at 11 a.m. Our guide Huckleberry was a nice mix between informative, funny & smooth. He led the entire 2 hours tour with knowledge & dedication. We always felt in good hands & safe during the entire tour. The tour itself was quite impressive. Exploring those caves and learning about how they started to exist and developed was interesting and informative. I can recommend experiencing this part of Montana’s cave history.
Lobo M — Google review
Beautiful scenic drive up to the caverns. Paradise Tour is decent but only takes you a short distance into the cavern. The outside walk to the cavern is longer than the walk inside the cavern. Beautiful views inside the cavern but the majority of the tour is standing and listening to the very knowledgeable guide about the interesting cavern history. Would recommend the longer tour and would recommend purchasing tickets prior to arrival as tours do sell out. Nice cafe with very tasty food. Highly recommend the Bison Burger, fresh side salad and Huckleberry Soda💜
Stacie P — Google review
We did the classic 2 hour/2 mile cavern tour. Be prepared to go up and down many stairs. First 3/4 of a mile is spent going uphill 300 ft. You have 15 to 20 minutes to get it done or they may send you back. No children are allowed on this tour. Also, no bags of any kind allowed, with the exception of a needed medical one. The staff were all friendly and Rachel, our tour guide, did a fine job. There is a gentler Paradise Tour that is for children and guests with limited mobility. It is shorter in time and distance.
Debi T — Google review
Wow! And wow! I know a lot of people did not discover this place yet but if you ever came across to Montana. You’ve got to visit this beautiful cave it is amazing and beyond amazing. The picture cannot even justify. I would say highly, highly recommended this tour you will love it.
Merna T — Google review
We took the Paradise tour. Very informational, and our guide was entertaining (I believe her name is Bridget? She was awesome!) however the 2 rooms you see are pretty much right as you enter the caverns past the doors, I guess I expected a little more walking around, but all the formations are amazing nonetheless! We would love to go back and take the Classic tour!
Bailey M — Google review
We did the two hour classic tour for the umpteenth time it did not disappoint. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and introduced a lot of humor to the tour. The food at the café was great. There is ample parking. There are outdoor kennels to keep your dogs shaded and watered. The caverns themselves are absolutely stunning. If you do the classic tour, there is a brief uphill hike and the tour itself is about two hours. You do not get to see the paradise room with this tour you do however get to see everything else. Having done both if I were to choose one, the classic tour is much better than the paradise tour. If you are a native Montana and have not been to the caverns, shame on you!

Swimming pool

Nestled in the picturesque Madison River Valley, Norris Hot Springs offers a unique and relaxing experience with its inviting 30 x 40-foot cement pool filled with natural thermal waters sourced directly from the Earth. The water emerges at a toasty 120 degrees but cools down to a comfortable average of around 100 degrees in summer and about 106 degrees during winter months.
My family and I camped here for a few days. They have an awesome thermal pool that is great for the family! Wasn’t crowded until evening. The food was great! Showers were great too. I have nothing but great things to say!

Amazing pool to soak in, terrific food, and great staff. Mercedes is an absolute gem, friendly, efficient and Ive seen it slammed and she handles it flawless. Try a pickle pizza or beet salad, though everything is delicious!

Great little stop on our road trip! Camped for 1 night, used the hot springs and had some wonderful pizza. The staff was friendly, booking was easy, and the bathrooms with showers were helpful. My only complaint would be their no campstove or outdoor cooking allowed. A campstove should be allowed, very silly rule, and forced us to leave earlier to go find breakfast.
Marti W — Google review
Such a cool spot! We stopped at Norris Hot Springs for a soak and it was the perfect chill break warm natural water, mountain views, great vibes, and even a cafe + bar right by the pool. Totally worth the stop if you’re cruising through Montana

As a board member of Hope & The Holidays, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Norris Hot Springs for their generous donation to our recent silent auction. Their support helped us raise essential funds that will go toward supporting families in need this holiday season. Norris Hot Springs—affectionately known as the “Water of the Gods”—is a true Montana treasure. Nestled in the beautiful Madison River Valley, it offers a year-round escape with geothermal soaking, organic food from their garden, live music, and a welcoming campground. Their commitment to sustainability and community wellness is matched by their generosity and heart for giving back. We’re incredibly grateful for their partnership, and we encourage everyone to support local businesses like Norris Hot Springs that bring relaxation, nourishment, and kindness to our community.

Perfect campground for us on our way from Yellowstone to Glacier. We could relax in the amazing hot springs, have a shower in the clean bathrooms and camp quietly in the back. The people were very friendly, so I really had to leave a review.
Abe K — Google review
Such a cool vibe and not the typical fancy expensive hot spring. Excellent food and drinks
Christopher A — Google review
We go here a lot and it does get pretty crowded on the weekends and evenings since it’s not a large pool. The water is around or just under 100 ish degrees, but they have hoses spraying room temp water into one side of the pool that keeps that side a bit cooler if you prefer it. We recently rented it out privately so our special needs son could splash around without bothering other guests and it was an amazing time. The owner was so kind and even allowed us to invite his classmates to join at no extra cost, which was such a nice treat for the kids. Best hot springs ever in my opinion ♥️

Our entire group had one of the best times here at Montana Whitewater! We had the 2 best instructors, Chance and Autumn. They made the trip even more enjoyable and we had such a good time. They were very knowledgeable and super friendly. Would definitely recommend Montana Whitewater to anyone looking to zip line. We will be back to do the bigger zip line soon! Thank you Chance and Autumn, hopefully we can request you both next time.

Alyssa and Jackson were super fun and knowledgeable guides for our Ziplining adventure! I highly recommend them as guides. We had a blast. Brandon was our guide on our whitewater rafting trip. He was amazing and navigated us thru some fun class III and IV waters. Overall Montana Whitewater Rafting & Zipline teams were GREAT! The ladies at the front desk were super helpful and kind. All the guides work together to make our two-part day an incredible adventure! Thank you Alyssa, Jackson, Brandon and Olivia!!! You all are the best! <3 Carnivals

10/10 recommend! We did a double experience and did zip lining first with Jackson and Alyssa! They were AWESOME and made sure everyone had a blast! They were also so very patient when our youngest couldn’t make it up the ladder and had to go down! Thank yall! Then we headed over for white water rafting! Our crew got partnered up with Tim! We had a blast going down the river and hitting some awesome rapids! One thing I would like to add the process of being able to purchase and get your photos automatically airdropped to your phone was GREAT!!

An unforgettable experience on the Gallatin River! I went whitewater rafting with Montana Whitewater Rafting Co. in June 2025, and it was hands down one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve had in Montana. We opted for the “less challenging” route, but it still gave us plenty of excitement... waves crashing, hearts racing, and laughter all the way through. At one point, I almost fell out during a rapid, and a big splash sent the kid next to me disappearing between the seats (inside the boat, thankfully!). Our guide, Cole Mosher, was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel safe the entire time. He even encouraged us to try the more advanced route next time... but after seeing a massive rock on our way back, I'm still "thinking about it" 🥶🥶😅 And shoutout to their team for snapping some epic action shots. We looked like pros out there...well, almost 🌝

Thank you to you two for being great at what you do!!

Absolutely amazing experience with Montana Whitewater and our incredible guide, Julia! We had such a blast out on the Gallatin River and through the Mad Mile. It’s truly breathtaking, and the perfect mix of adrenaline and natural beauty. Julia is a total pro. She made the ride exciting, fun, and most importantly, safe. You can tell she loves what she does, and it made the whole adventure even better. They provide everything you need, from gear to guidance, and the entire crew was friendly and professional. The cherry on top? The photos! Captured by a professional photographer, they’re incredible and such a great way to remember the day. Can’t recommend this enough, we’ll definitely be back!

I work as one of the Managers at one of Big Sky's well known hotels that refer our guests to Montana Whitewater all the time but had personally experienced it until last week when I got to with my daughter and grand children last week who were visiting me for the week. What a great experience Montana Whitewater provides us thrill seekers! Over top experience all the way around, from start to finish and our guide Owen was the icing on the cake, great guy! You don't need to miss this true Montana experience! Highly recommended!

Nestled in the breathtaking Montana wilderness, Big Sky Resort is a premier mountain destination that promises an unforgettable experience for outdoor enthusiasts. With an impressive 300 ski runs spread across 5,850 acres, it caters to all skill levels—from thrilling couloirs and snowfields for seasoned skiers to gentle groomers perfect for families. The resort boasts stunning views from the summit of Lone Peak, which towers at 11,166 feet and offers vertical drops of up to 4,100 feet.
Beautiful views. I highly recommend taking the lifts for the views. We went with young children as little as 3 years old and felt completely safe. I wish we could have explored more or did some hiking. Maybe when the kids get a bit older.

Big Sky Ski Resort is AMAZING! I have skied here before, and it has incredible terrain and beauty. Today in September I am here to do some hiking and take the lifts up. I want to give a special thanks to Calvin and the entire crew at Big Sky. EVERY single person I encountered (lift operators, ticket booth, etc.) was WONDERFUL! The employees here are world-class. Big Sky Ski Resort is lucky to have them, and they should be rewarded for every 5-star review posted. They are all incredibly kind, smart, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and hard-working. I had a mishap, and Calvin and his crew handled it so beautifully. I was able to truly enjoy my visit here because of them!
Paula M — Google review
We stayed here for a day during our Yellowstone and Grand Teton trip, and while the check-in experience with the front desk and bell boy was excellent, our overall impression was ruined at checkout. After leaving, we were hit with a surprise $4.50 charge. When I contacted customer service, a person named Jeff claimed it was for a water bottle from the room. This is absolutely false — we never used or even noticed any such bottle. We carried our own water the entire trip. His explanation that “the bottle was on the table, not in the fridge” makes no sense, and frankly comes across as an excuse to justify an unjustified charge. It’s shocking and disappointing that a place with otherwise nice staff and a serene environment would spoil a guest’s experience with such petty, dishonest practices. Pros: Nice front desk and bell boy service, calm surroundings. Cons: Very limited vegetarian food options, and worst of all — hidden charges after checkout. Lesson learned: Always take photos when you check in and out, because there are bad elements that try to take advantage. This was the worst checkout experience I’ve had in years of traveling, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who values honesty and transparency. BTW poor rating because of billing customer service
Naresh R — Google review
It was so quiet and peaceful foxes were outside frolicking in the fresh snow. We actually were the only people who were staying at the resort at the time and it was a really magical experience. I don’t recommend you dry your clothes there though it’s five dollars a load.
Raushanna R — Google review
The mountain itself is great for advanced level to expert level skiers, but the prices here are egregiously expensive. Their lift ticket prices on poor weather days are like $300/day, and it goes beyond $400/day on good days. You can't get on the gondola to access the entire mountain less you pay another $100. You can't even get lunch at the mountain without making a reservation for lunch at the top of the ski hill. The hotel prices at the resort also start at about $700/night and there are no public transit options in town, so you have to pay the excessive rate or pay for an expensive rental car and an expensive hotel/airbnb in town.

Stayed there for the Rut Run. Wonderful hotel and service from front desk , valet, concierge and housekeeping was outstanding. Everyone was super friendly and totally gets the concept of customer service. The location couldn't be better for the run.

MTB trails were a ton of fun, even though we had some shutdowns due to lightning in the vicinity. Trails could do with a little more work to get rid of all the chatter bumps into corners, but those that did have fresh dirt were incredible. Well worth the lift ticket prices for a day on the trails!
Sam V — Google review
One of the best mountains in the U.S, tell your friends it sucked. Great snow, terrain, friendly staff and average pricing. Only issue (which has gotten better) is tram Access. Now its included with a day ticket which is a huge improvement but it should be available on all season passes yes even the green.

Ousel Falls Park & Trailhead is a hidden gem nestled in the Black Hills National Forest, offering miles of great hiking, beautiful lakes, and plenty of mountain peaks to climb. The park features several popular trails including Beehive Basin Trail and Ousel Falls Trail. The latter leads to a stunning waterfall that is easily accessible via a paved trail, making it suitable for all visitors. Along the way, hikers can enjoy picturesque views of the surrounding nature.
Nice and super clean walking trail. Like everything in these area in a super good condition. You just can park in the beginning of the trail. It’s about 30 - 45 Minutes, depending on the amount of fotos you’re taking. Inside the trail it’s a bit cooler, no need of hiking shoes or something like that, normal sneaker shoes can do it easily

If you want to get your steps in and explore nature take this 1.6 mile trek to Ousel Falls. A spectacular view of falls in the middle of nature, checks your activity boxes while you stroll up and down on a medium level walk. If you want more steps start your walk in Big Sky Village and at 2 miles. That’s what we did.

Enjoyable and easy trail near Big Sky town center. A little bit up and downhill, a waterfall at the bottom. Nice tree cover.
Leslie T — Google review
Beautiful moderate difficulty, shorter hike with scenic views. This is a beautiful hike in Big Sky with a nice water fall at the end. There's some moderate elevation change but it's a very well maintained path the entire way. You follow a stream back up to the falls and get a wonderful view there. Couple of spots to stop on the way and have a picnic. I believe the round trip was about 3 miles give or take. Worth it for a relatively short, easy hike.

Yellowstone Horses at Eagle Ridge Ranch

Horseback Riding Tours
I came all the way from New Zealand to spend one week to see Yellowstone NP. I did book a few horseback rides through that week. And I was so fortunate to do my first ride with Eagle Ridge Ranch. They are so friendly and attentive. Even not having on their schedule any trotting during the rides they let me do my thing as I have experience riding horses. Of course not disappearing from the guide’s sight and staying around the group. It was fun and super chill environment. If you have experience riding horses that’s the one that they will let you fell free and have some fun. Others ranch are very strict on their policies and they have weird rules (like not wearing a cowboy hat) I highly recommend Eagle Ridge Ranch to anyone whether has experience or not. I was so happy riding with them that I’ve booked a second three hours ride before leaving.
Samuel G — Google review
My wife and oldest took the ride, so this is related to their experience. We were the last ride of the day. We saw a deer laying down in the trail, but were not lucky enough to see larger game. The “tour” was more of a nose-to-tail “walk”, but I am sure that is fine for most families. Before the ride, the hands provided snacks for the horses so everyone could feed them, which was cool. There is fishing, swimming, and boating (in separate ponds) for those not riding. The water was brisk. There is a place to practice roping (not on a live animal, but still pretty cool) The place is as beautiful as you can imagine. We also got to see the horses wrangled right past our car, which I think the hands did for a bit of fun. Nice place, reasonably priced, and options for everyone. The riding part is somehow separate from the ranch in a way I don’t understand, but whatever. The fifth star is not a function of not seeing game, just that it was a little vanilla. If perfectly cromulent is your thing, consider it 5 stars.

Hands down the best guided horse back riding experience I've ever had. I've been to my fair share of them and this one tops it. The horses are happy and well cared for and well trained. The staff is very patient and experienced. Brick was a most excellent guide and gave us a great ride. The ranch they run this out of is breathtaking and huge. You can stay and enjoy the property for an additional fee. It's $15 per person to use the lake which has boats, a rope swing, and a water slide. The also offer archery and skeet shooting. 10/10 best day ever.

Such an amazing trail ride experience! Eagle ridge ranch is beautiful, well-maintained, and run by an excellent, friendly team. Our guide Josie was fantastic—both incredibly knowledgeable and personable! My group was so impressed by her poise and skill in riding and training a brand new house. Nothing short of a great experience, we would definitely go back!

Wonderful experience horseback riding with beautiful views, gentle and well cared for horses and a knowlegable and capable guide! All the horses were very sweet. There were some in our group who had never ridden before and were scared, and the guides and staff at Eagle Ranch were able to put them at ease and they seemed to have a great time. The price for 2 hour ride was well below anything you would have paid near West Yellowstone and the trail was mostly in the woods and shaded. Would definitely recommend!

My four kids had the best day here. We did a two hour guided horse ride. My youngest is 6 and was so excited but very nervous. They did a wonderful job as a team, helping her feel comfortable. After riding, my kids spend hours playing in the little lake. They had lots of different water activities to enjoy.

Thank you very much for a beautiful afternoon!! Very well organized and very attentive guides. The cook out was delicious! Especial shout out to the team who payed attention that one of our group is vegetarian and prepared an extra meal for her. We were grateful to be spend the late afternoon at the eagle ridge ranch! We informed ourselves beforehand that the ride would be walking, which can be boring for the experienced riders but most people are not experienced at all. Hence, all good. Our ride was fun and we saw several deers, very close. Seems that they are not afraid of horses. Amazing!

I have a scholarship and 62$ is randomly charged to my account the day of the tuition deadline. Called into financial aid to figure out why and the amazingly rude lady refused to help me or even give me any information. Now it's past the deadline and I am restricted on course materials and supposedly am gunna get a late fee. Due to her neglecting her job. This is one reason I will be transferring schools.

USU is by far the best college campus to go to in the state of Utah, while attending USU you will find the city feels like a small town campus. USU offers a lot of amazing programs to make friends and there professors are amazing

Displeased USU Visitor My recent experience with USU (assuming you are referring to a university or institution with that acronym) left me feeling incredibly frustrated and dissatisfied. One of the most significant issues that marred my experience was the rampant over-ticketing problem. Over-ticketing at USU has become a serious concern, and it has undoubtedly soured my perception of the institution. It seems as though the primary focus has shifted away from providing a conducive learning environment and towards extracting revenue from its students and visitors through excessive ticketing. The frequency with which I witnessed students and visitors receiving unwarranted tickets was alarming. Whether it was for minor parking infractions, perceived rule violations, or even issues that should have been handled through communication and warnings, it appeared that the institution was more interested in punishing individuals than in fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere. Furthermore, the fines associated with these tickets often felt disproportionately high, placing an undue financial burden on students and visitors who are already struggling with the cost of education and daily living expenses. It's disheartening to see an institution prioritize revenue generation over the well-being and financial stability of its constituents. The over-ticketing issue not only creates a hostile atmosphere but also undermines the trust and respect that students and visitors should have for their educational institution. It fosters an environment where individuals are constantly on edge, fearing that even the slightest misstep will result in another unwarranted ticket. In conclusion, my experience with USU has been marred by the issue of over-ticketing, which has led me to question the institution's priorities and commitment to the well-being of its students and visitors. It is my hope that USU will reevaluate its approach to disciplinary measures and consider more reasonable and fair ways to address rule violations without resorting to excessive ticketing.

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge Center

Wildlife refuge
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
This bird refuge & marsh area offers a 12-mile auto tour, fishing, hunting & wildlife viewing.
It is a peaceful and beautiful place to visit — perfect for bird lovers and anyone who enjoys nature. The variety of birds you can spot here is incredible. We saw pelicans, herons, ducks, and so many others, all in their natural wetland habitat. The auto tour route is an easy and relaxing drive with stunning views throughout. It’s a great spot for photography, a quiet getaway, and a family outing. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and want to experience a unique part of Utah’s natural beauty.
Kelvina C — Google review
This is one of the best visitor centers I've ever been to. The interactive exhibits, taxidermy, and movie theater are all top notch. The bird call exhibit is a favorite because you can memorize the calls before taking the 3km walk around the refuge. The walk itself is very accessible, paved and mowed so you can comfortably walk without worrying about ticks from the tall grasses. Oh, and the gift shop and indoor toilets are amazing. Board games, high quality toys, and even a bird mural in the ladies '.

This was such a great place to visit! We ran out of time and will definitely be back. The auto tour is open from sunrise to sunset. The visitor center is open from 8-4. In the visitor center, my kids were able to play bingo in the exhibit hall and were rewarded with a butterfly sticker. There was so much fun stuff to view in the exhibit hall. There is a theater that we did not have time to view. We were also able to check out adventure backpacks for the kids that contained different magnification viewers for bugs, 2 different kinds of nets, kids' binoculars, field identification guides, etc. Each child received their own booklet to complete, and after completing a number of activities, they were able to get a junior ranger badge. We spent almost an hour on the trail just watching the bugs and birds and trying to catch bugs to view and then release. They had so much fun! We will definitely be back!
Sarah D — Google review
Beautiful free park where you can bird watch. Leaving the highway, it feels crazy to think a whole refuge is right next to it. The visitor center is at the entrance of the park. The recommended path is a ungraveled road of about 1h30 (highly depends on how you want to do it). You drive on the loop and can see plenty of things. Birds are EVERYWHERE. Note: The month of may has a lot of insects (mosquitoes…) so be prepared if you want to get out of the car. Great free activity that entertains everhone.

Visitor center was closed the day we were there due to the federal shutdown, but we enjoyed the auto tour. Probably more migrating birds in Sept. than Oct.

Beautiful property with an array of birds and some mammals. The auto tour loop is cool, but finding the entrance was a little challenging at first. The yellow-headed black birds and white pelicans were my favorite by far. Good location for birding!
Stefanie R — Google review
The area around the visitor center is great. Trails run through wetlands and there is even a photo blind. But the biggest downside are their trails. They are open sunrise to sunset. So far so good, but you can't use any of the loop trails if the visitor center is closed. You need to track back to the first crossing and go back to the parking lot that way. All the trails run literally through the visitor center but the visitor center currently closes at 4pm and is not even open every day. This could have been handled better, the architect of these trails probably never used a trail in their life.

Powder Mountain

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Ski resort
Nature & Parks
Powder Mountain is a sprawling ski area in Utah, offering 154 trails, 2 terrain parks, and 9 lifts. It stands out for providing extensive terrain with fewer crowds compared to other resorts in the area. Despite having similar daily ticket prices as some well-known resorts, Powder Mountain ensures a more intimate experience by limiting the number of season passes sold each year. Visitors praise the resort for its vast ski area, stunning views, and efficient lift lines even on weekends.
Fantastic experience. I have skied Alta, Snowbird, Brighton,Solitude and this was one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had. Have been off slopes for 10 years and was fearful getting back to it, but for $19 night skiing (with Brighton being $108) it was excellent. Kind staff, beautiful gear, sweet lifts and mountain and not the killer expense that is the Hallmark of Utah skiing after 2002 Olympics. Why can’t any resort in Utah be less than $100 for night skiing is beyond me, but I found it. Powder Mountain was in a word EXCELLENT. Thank you for a great re-introduction to skiing. I love Powder mountain!!
Mike R — Google review
Such an amazing amazing place to ski. It deserves 10/10. Also, if you do night ski, its only $19. We did night ski on March 22 and we absolutely loved it. The slope was nice. Snow was different ( it was like powder, hence the Powder mountain). Sun down ski place is amazing. It has multiple ski resorts as well.
Manish K — Google review
As avid skiers based in Park City, we’ve explored nearly every ski resort in the area, from Deer Valley, Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, Sundance & Snowbasin. After hearing countless great things about Powder Mountain, we decided to make the scenic hour-and-a-half drive for a midweek visit (Tuesday after MLK weekend), and we couldn’t have been more impressed. The drive to Powder Mountain was breathtakingly beautiful, and parking was a breeze. We opted for the Timberline parking area, which was conveniently mid-mountain and served as the starting point for their Complimentary Mountain Tour. Arriving early, we waited in the cozy skier services yurt, where Angela G. provided exceptional hospitality. She gave us insider tips on the mountain, local dining recommendations, and even handed out some Powder Mountain stickers. Her proactive attitude ensured that our experience started on the right note. When the tour began, our hosts, Tate and Bob, were nothing short of fantastic. Tate’s dad jokes kept the mood light, and his deep knowledge of the terrain made navigating this vast mountain much easier. He catered to our 14-year-old son’s enthusiasm for steeps and challenging runs by pointing out the best spots and explaining how to access the “secret” areas. Powder Mountain truly lives up to its name. Despite no fresh snow for a week, we discovered untouched powder and had vast areas seemingly to ourselves. The diversity of terrain was impressive with groomed greens and blues perfect for cruising, scenic bowls and rolling meadows, gorgeous aspen glades and thrilling steeps, backcountry terrain, and hike-to areas like James Peak. There’s something for everyone, making it an ideal destination whether you’re a beginner or an expert. We took a break at Timberline Lodge for lunch, and the pizza was incredible. The pulled pork banh mi was flavorful, the spicy Hawaiian had a perfect kick, and our son’s classic pepperoni didn’t disappoint. The quality of food exceeded expectations for on-mountain dining. The combination of Powder Mountain’s outstanding customer service, extensive terrain, and serene atmosphere made it one of the best ski days we’ve had. It’s hard to believe such an expansive and uncrowded resort is just a short drive from Park City. Whether you’re looking for fresh powder, diverse runs, or a friendly vibe, Powder Mountain is worth the trip. We’ll absolutely be back! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Theresa L — Google review
I want to preface this with I have had some of the best days of my snowboarding life at powder mountain from 2018-2022. HOWEVER, new ownership’s decision to privatize a large chunk of the mountain (three chairlifts, two that provide access to the backside of the mountain and a lot of fun terrain) is a massive middle finger to locals and those who have been coming here for years. Village, Mary’s, and Raintree are now ONLY for those who have deep enough pockets to buy a mountain mansion. Who cares about everyone else right? Why should the rich need to put up with undesirable less rich people? How lucky for them they don’t have to experience the less fortunate’s presence in the outdoors. I hiked to the terrain that’s only accessible by these private chairlifts and didn’t see a single person using them. 3 chairlifts, 0 people on them. 0 people in the area. I highly doubt management will ever reverse this with the amount of heavy equipment going up and down the canyon and millions of dollars that have already been spent. And that’s a shame. Why not give the millionaires complimentary/exclusive cat skiing so that they can still access untouched terrain just for them, while EVERYBODY ELSE who has paid for a lift ticket gets to use the chairlifts that they’ve always been able to? Is it not enough for the ultra rich? Do they need to take from everyone else to be happy? Either way, management is on board. I don’t know what all went on, but I loved powder mountain before Reed Hastings bought it. Now it’s just another ski resort with $20 cheeseburgers.
Will D — Google review
4/2/25 first time here... I've heard lots of good things about this ski area. They are all correct. This place is so nice and chill. Great conditions for the day after the 10" or so, snowfall. New lifts and better access than in the past, so i was told. The food was good too, i got the ramen. Not too expensive, kinda like NYC prices- lol. Some may say that's high... Lol. Anyway... It was good quality food. I love that you can extend your day with the night section on the "Sundown" lift. It's only 535 vert according to my Ski Tracks app (screenshot) but it's fun to ride that section and watch the sun set over the valley. And if you just landed at SLC you can ride the night for cheap, I think $19. I look forward to riding there again.

Came here for the night ski and was not disappointed. Price is not bad at all, and there are a few really good runs open at night. The lift operators were friendly and helpful, and parking was not too hard to find. We had a really great time!
Elena O — Google review
This mountain is awesome. Reed is taking a failing business and completely rundown resort and finding a way to improve it, adding more lifts, terrain access and keeping the mountain open. The people complaining about the new ownership don’t realize that this mountain would be closed down if it kept running the way it was. Bleeding money…or you could go ski the other resorts and wait in line over half of your day.
Garrett B — Google review
Used to brag all the time about powder mtn in years past... hands down used to be go to spot. With the insane and astronomical price increase over the past 5-6 years and things going more private, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It will not be worth your money. you will get far better experiences any other resort in Utah, and for cheaper.

Union Station

Mentioned on 
19 lists 
Rail museum
Sights & Landmarks
Union Station, a historic 1920s train station in Ogden, Utah, has been transformed into an indoor marketplace featuring museums, art galleries, and eateries. This popular destination offers free galleries showcasing local artists and various attractions such as the Browning Firearms Museum and the Wattis-Dumke Model Railroad exhibit. The station's rich history dates back to its role as a hub for transcontinental railroad traffic and its connection to the completion of the first transcontinental railroad at Promontory Summit.
We provided decorations for a wedding reception. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. It made the night awesome for the client. Not to mention the venue itself was great the museums were really fun. We hope to assist in more events there soon. KC & Micah Arbor Meadows Decor

Very neat museum, with huge retired trains, vintage cars, vintage guns and a small gift shop area. There is a small fee but very well worth the fee. Loved the train models and learned alot from the train video. We spent about an hour here. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
Maria C — Google review
“It’s… fine. If you’re already there.” We wandered into Union Station while exploring downtown, mostly because we have one back home in St. Louis and wanted to see how this one stacked up. Walked up to the ticket counter and asked what it was. The woman said, “Museums.” I said, “Right… but what kind?” Her reply: “Train and cowboy kind.” Okay then. We paid $7 each anyway. The train museum *could* have been cool, if literally anything was turned on. The model train sat dark and silent, the lights were off, and the displays looked like they hadn’t seen power in a while. The car museum was neat, though, and the guy running it clearly loved his job (same for the man at the gun museum). The cowboy section? Let’s just say it was riding off into the sunset—none of the videos or exhibits worked in any of the museums. The outdoor trains were the best part, but overall it felt more like a museum taking a nap. Worth the ticket price, but not worth going out of your way.
Krystal P — Google review
What an amazing find. If you like train history or history of this area and this place to your list. Sadly we arrived about 30 minutes before closing bc i just thought it was an old train station but it turned out to be much more. They have every browning gun ever created in their upstairs museum and a history of Ogden museum downstairs. All for free!! I wish i had allocated about two hours to see everything! Didn’t even make it outside to see the trains they have here.

Maybe it was the fact it was a Friday day but this was the saddest museum on earth. Let's start with the lady at the ticket counter. We are from out of town so we asked "what do you have in museum?" Her response was "it's museums" cool cool cool. We got that. Nothing in the train museum was turned on. All the interactive displays didn't do anything. None of the lights were on. I ended up finding light switches. Their "famous model train" wasn't operating No volunteers to be found until the cars. The older gentleman in the car museum is saving this place from one star. He was so enthusiastic and loved what he did. Joe in the Browning museum was also knowledgeable.
Cory R — Google review
They really do a good job of keeping this place in great shape. It is a pleasure to visit here. Only one thing. You can't see the inside of the trains until warm weather, or May, they say, so be advised. You can see a lot of history in three museums, The Railway museum, The Browning Arms Museum, and the Classic Cars. All for 7 dollars while supporting a great effort to preserve these fantastic historical items.

Snowbasin Resort

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Ski resort
Nature & Parks
Snowbasin Resort, located in Huntsville, Utah, has been a popular destination since 1936 and was even a site for the 2002 Winter Olympics. The resort offers classic ski activities and hosts year-round events. Visitors can take Olympic-themed gondola rides to the top of the mountain for breathtaking views and access to Needles Lodge where they can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and dining. The resort features ski slopes suitable for all levels with trained instructors available.
Really nice mountain! Great terrain, easy Parking. Challenging terrain at whatever your level of challenge is... You'll find it here. Take a ride on the Olympic tram, and if you get tentative, you can ride the tram down, no pressure to make the run on snow :)
Dave I — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Snowbasin Ski Resort is an all-season paradise! In the winter, the skiing here is top-tier—groomed runs, challenging steeps, and absolutely stunning views. The lift system is fast and efficient, and there’s terrain for every skill level. Easily one of my favorite places to ski in Utah. Come summer, the resort really shines in a different way. The hiking trails are gorgeous, with wildflowers, epic ridgelines, and scenic overlooks. If you love mountain biking, Snowbasin has some of the best trails in the area—fun, flowy, and great for all levels. Don’t miss the free summer concerts—incredible live music set against a beautiful mountain backdrop. Bring a blanket, grab a drink, and enjoy the vibe! And if you’re looking for a unique dining experience, take the gondola up and eat at the top of the mountain. The food is amazing, and the views are unforgettable. Whether you’re here for snow, sun, or just the scenery, Snowbasin delivers. Can’t recommend it enough!

We took the gondola up to the Needles Lodge for Sunday brunch. At first glance, it seemed pricey but for what the ticket includes it is worth it. A ride up and down the mountain, the brunch, and access to the concert. Employees are helpful and friendly

I recently shot a wedding at Snowbasin and it was amazing! The views from the top really wowed everyone, especially the out of town guests.

Everyone had a great time!

What a beautiful Dog friendly resort! We loved taking our dog, Osiris up to listen to the blues, eat great food, have the perfect frozen adult beverage and enjoy gorgeous scenery. They are thoughtful with stainless steel water bins for the dogs placed everywhere. We will definitely be coming back to take Osiris on the Gondola.
Rachel — Google review
Had an amazing time here! Beautiful resort. Except I did have a little trouble with the ski school administrators. I purchased a package for lessons & lift tickets for my kids but they didn’t give them the lift tickets at the school & no one told me I had to pick them up separately . So when they went to ride the chair lift with their instructor, they wouldn’t let them on. I had to run back to where lift tickets are purchased. I just wish someone told me sooner instead of the end of the day. They only got to ride the chair lift once because of the time wasted.
Helene D — Google review
Amazing ski resort. I love how long the runs are and how fast the lifts go as well. You really feel like you can ski so much longer. There’s so much mountain to cover you can happily spend all day exploring and find something for your brand of fun. Certain areas definitely get crowded, especially on weekends, but after the waves of arrivals people tend to spread out and the lines and runs become much less congested.
Emma S — Google review
Snowbasin has so much more to offer than just winter activities! We have fun at there during the summer and early fall too! Hiking, Blues and Brews and Octoberfest! I do recommend that if you don't have a pass, to purchase your tickets ahead of time. It makes the entry process much faster! Everything is definitely a little overpriced. However that goes for pretty much everything these days.

Our river guide did an exceptional job preparing us for a safe and enjoyable trip. She was a wealth of knowledge about natural and historical aspects of the Weber River and the surrounding environment. The views in the canyon were majestic, and the water was clear and cold, refreshing us on a hot summer day. For anyone who is nervous about river rafting, this company and their guides will set you at ease. They have years of experience on the river. We look forward to a future trip when we return in the future.

We went on an incredible tour with our amazing guide Sara. Big bunch of family from Kentucky and then a couple of us locals. It was such a beautiful ride and we all had such a fun time, we even got to see a whole moose family. We loved every second of it and already determined to come back and do it again. Everyone was so great to us all and even the pups that greeted us on arrival.

Our group of eight from NY had the most incredible experience on this trip! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The scenery was breathtaking, the adventure was exhilarating, and every moment felt like something out of a dream. But what truly made this trip unforgettable were our amazing guides, Gage and Sara. Their expertise, kindness, and passion for what they do made us feel both safe and excited every step of the way. We cannot thank Gage and Sara enough for making this adventure so special. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time, sharing their knowledge and energy while making us feel like family. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and their dedication to giving us an unforgettable experience was beyond anything we could have hoped for. This trip wouldn’t have been the same without them, and we are forever grateful! Gage is definitely one of those people that I will never forget in my life. Sara and Gage if you read this you guys are the best. So much so that this is the first time in my life that I have ever left a review for anything.

We had an awesome ride with Gage as our top-notch guide. It was one of our favorite experiences while visiting friends in Park City- we blasted over snowy trails, tore up deep powder as a massive thunder-snow storm rolled in, saw a herd of elk moving across the mountain, and had the time of our lives. Gage was incredibly knowledgeable and capable- safety was his primary concern with epic fun a close second. We would highly recommend and will do it again next time we’re out. Our friends plan to take other guests out as well. 5 stars for backcountry and for Gage 🌟

This tour is an absolute must if you are visiting the Park City area! I can’t give enough stars to rate how genuine and kind everyone was on this adventure. Coming to this area of the country we have learned that things can happen that unexpectedly change plans. I have to thank Backcountry Snowmobiling for accommodating us on every level. We had to change our reservation from Friday to Saturday because one of our vehicles didn’t make it through the backroads and the team at Backcountry was so understanding and very generously changed our reservation for the following day. When we arrived we were so warmly greeted a s welcomed. They help fit us for all of our gear and took some amazing pictures of us. Then we meet Gage, our tour guide. From the beginning you can tell this is what he loves. He lives and breathes for this kind of work. He gave very detailed instructions on operating the snowmobile and we all felt we were in such good and safe hands. Then the tour starts and what an adrenaline rush. We seen all the animals on the snowy mountains. Elk, Bald Eagle, and even a momma and baby Moose!! Every time we stopped there was something to see and experience. Gage then takes us to the meadow where the real fun starts. Basically I was living off adrenaline as my snowmobile hit 50 mph. One of the most freeing and exhilarating experiences I have ever had. We should have definitely done the 3 hour tour, I could have gone for hours. Gage then takes us to a personal spot of his where he made an ice bridge over a small stream. For me, this was so beautiful. We then head back to the office area where we are greeted with PUPPIES. YES PUPPIES. What a way to end such an incredible day. We almost didn’t want to leave but they were obviously done for the day. It was an absolute amazing experience from beginning to end. I can’t wait to come back next year to do the 3 hour tour and see how big the puppies get! Thank you to everyone at Backcountry Snowmobiling, and especially Gage for giving such a good experience.

The Utah State Capitol, built in 1916, is a stunning neoclassical revival building located just two miles from downtown Salt Lake City. Visitors can marvel at the architecture and explore the 320,000 square foot interior with original murals, exhibits, and guided or self-guided tours that delve into Utah's rich history and government. Situated near Ensign Peak, it offers easy access to outdoor activities like hiking in Memory Grove Park and exploring City Creek Canyon.
Our visit to the Utah State Capitol was fantastic! We started at the visitor center, which provided great insight into the state's history and the Capitol's architecture. The Capitol building itself is stunning, with a beautiful rotunda and impressive views of Salt Lake City and the surrounding mountains. It's a popular spot for wedding photos, and it's easy to see why. We highly recommend visiting, but be prepared for a short climb up a hill. The views from the top are breathtaking, and there's plenty of free parking available

The Salt Lake Capitol building is the first I have ever visited. I study architectural history so I was overly excited to finally see a Capitol in person. I was not disappointed. I spent 2 to 3 hours on a Sunday exploring and people watching. The state and assembly rooms were not open on Sunday but I could pee through the slits in the door The gathering/meeting room was open though. If you are into geological materials you will also love the construction, arches, granite, marble and limestone. I was fascinated by the marble relief in front with the carved fruit and vines. Definitely worth the visit and is a photographer's dream.

⭐️ Utah State Capitol & Memory Grove Park – Must-See in SLC! 🇺🇸 Explored the Utah State Capitol area and it was absolutely beautiful and well-maintained. 🏛️✨ The building itself is open to the public, and the interior is stunning — I even saw a few wedding photo sessions taking place inside! 💍📸 There’s free parking available around the grounds (depending on space), and the view from the Capitol steps overlooking Salt Lake City Valley is breathtaking. 🌄 You can easily walk down the hill through scenic paths to Memory Grove Park, which is peaceful, green, and full of monuments honoring veterans. 🌿🇺🇸 Perfect area for a relaxed stroll, photos, or just enjoying the Utah sunshine. ☀️ 📍 Free entry | Great for photos | Historical landmark | Beautiful garden views

Beautiful capital building - perfect for viewing over the SLC downtown and also to take pictures inside. There are murals painted on the ceilings, some on walls, and two grand staircases in the center. The first floor had an exhibit hall which shared the story of how the capital building was constructed and founded along with other smaller historical buildings in the area. We also noticed that they are constructing another panel for education downstairs. At the time we visited, the entrance was blocked off due to construction so we couldn't get a good look at the exterior but definitely will be coming back for future photos!

What an incredible day I had exploring the heart of Salt Lake City! The Capitol building was absolutely stunning—its grand architecture is a sight to behold. But the real highlight? An unforgettable conversation with two local officers who shared a treasure trove of fascinating stories and history about Salt Lake City and Utah. They brought the past to life with such passion and detail, I felt like I was walking through time. Between the breathtaking views, the friendly people, and the deep dive into the region’s rich heritage, this spot easily ranks as one of the must-visit gems of Salt Lake City!

Beautiful building inside and out! You can spend about an hour or more, it's a very big building with lots to see. We parked across the street in front of the gift shop. It was a very hot day, I recommend taking water because it was a bit of a walk to get inside the building and lots of walking inside also.

I had a nice time at the Utah State Capitol. It was pretty inside and easy to get into. But please be aware that the capital and visitor gift shop is on a large hill so I DO NOT recommend walking up it! Rent a lime or spin scooter or calling a taxi.

The Utah State Capitol building is located in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Construction began in 1912 and was completed in 1916. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The building features a Byzantine-style copper dome and is similar in scale to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Designed in the Neoclassical style, its interior is known for its marble walls, exquisite murals, and figural sculptures. Free admission

Temple Square

Mentioned on 
+83 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Temple Square, located in Salt Lake City, is a 10-acre compound and the official headquarters of the Mormon Church. The area features impressive religious buildings such as the Salt Lake Temple with its soaring spires and statue of the angel Moroni, and the Tabernacle with its gilded 11,623-pipe organ and acoustically sensitive dome-shaped auditorium.
In July 2025, we visited Temple Square in Downtown Salt Lake City, as we had a work-related conference to attend. Temple Square is undergoing construction, as the Temple and some of the surrounding buildings are being restored and/or rebuilt. Temple Square is exceedingly clean and peaceful. The landscaping is amazing, and there are many walkways on the 2 adjacent city blocks to escape from the surrounding city and traffic. There are also water fountains and statues, and the surrounding buildings add to the ambience. We enjoyed our Temple Square visit and we would highly recommend others to visit Temple Square and experience this amazing place for themselves.

In SLC for a couple of days and decided to take a stroll through the downtown area. Came across Temple Square — a beautiful and peaceful space with lots of Mormon history to learn about. It was quiet when we visited, so it felt like a self-guided tour. None of the buildings were open, so we couldn’t check inside, but it was still worth walking through and taking in the grounds.
Scott W — Google review
Even if you are not part of the Church of Latter Day Saints this is worth a visit. There are church members everywhere in pairs willing to answer any questions. Everyone is very kind. We enjoyed walking the outdoor spaces and spent time inside the tabernacle, the family research center, and the conference center. No entry fees.

⭐️ Temple Square – Historic Heart of Salt Lake City 🏛️✨ A must-see when exploring downtown SLC! Beautiful architecture, peaceful gardens, and plenty of history everywhere you look. 🌿 From the Brigham Young Monument to the Joseph Smith Building and City Creek Canyon nearby — everything is within walking distance. 🚶‍♂️ Clean, scenic, and full of charm — perfect for photos, short walks, or just soaking in the local spirit. 📸🌸

Beautiful public square with impressive statuary, a lovely garden, wide walking paths and plenty of benches, gondolas and shady spots for rest and contemplation. An inspiring place to meander, even as someone who is not Mormon, and take in the beauty of the grounds and architecture of the Temple, Tabernacle and other sanctuaries. On a side note, this place also has the cleanest, classiest public restrooms I've ever encountered. There is currently a lot of construction taking place - Summer 2025 - but there are many areas of beauty still accessible that make it worth a visit regardless.
Lisa G — Google review
The new sculpture and landscaping at temple square is so classy. They have benches placed around the area for contemplating and appreciating the atmosphere. Inside the Conference Center, the architecture of the flooring, pillars and paintings on the walls seems to compete with the great museums and places of higher learning in the world.

I was very excited about my trip to Salt Lake City. Years ago, during my university research titled “A Century of Olympic Graphics,” I came across the name of this city, which had hosted the Winter Olympics, and I’d always been eager to see it in person. One of the main attractions I wanted to visit was the Mormon Temple, but unfortunately, it was closed for renovations. However, just across the street, the city’s Convention Center caught my attention, and I hurried to explore it , it was quite an interesting experience. I also enjoyed visiting the Utah State Capitol building, surrounded by a beautiful landscape of colorful autumn trees.

Museums
Science museum
Located along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, the Natural History Museum of Utah is a modern venue with 10 galleries that delve into earth science and Utah's native cultures. The museum offers absorbing exhibits on topics ranging from the state's biological diversity and geology to prehistory. Visitors can engage with hands-on displays that teach about sand dune formation and constructing earthquake-proof buildings.
We come here once or twice a year and look forward to their special exhibits they have. Our kids always love coming here, but especially with the family over school field trips. They love spending time in each section reading and learning something new everyday. The staff is great at the special exhibits. They are informative and friendly. They have free puppet shows at various times. We loved the Teen Explainers that they've added too. I think it's such a great way for teens to spend their time working a job that allows them to contribute to younger children's educational experience.
Christina — Google review
This Museum was very fun to visit. I got a free pass. So I took me and my wife we enjoyed looking at dinosaurs. There's a part where you had to put dinosaur bones together to recreate a skull. It was much more challenging than I initially thought. There's a nice Sun deck where you can enjoy the good weather and have a beautiful scenic view. I also like the Ice Age exhibit that they have and the exhibit about the natives of Utah the Navajo. I think we spent maybe around 3 hours at the Museum. It was fun and not too crowded. It is a good place for children to learn about natural history. Have a nice little gift shop and they also have clean bathrooms. It is a good place for families. One thing that I like is that they had a sense so that you could smell how certain dinosaurs or certain berries or plants from the dinosaur age. You can learn how they smelled like. They have some very large dinosaur displays and they also have like I Spy game thing throughout the museum where you have to find like little mamas that are hidden around the the whole museum. It's a good activity for kids or if you have a membership pass it is fun to do to do something different every once in a while.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Natural History Museum of Utah is a true gem for families and curious minds of all ages. The striking modern architecture sets the tone for an experience where science and storytelling come alive. Inside, you’ll find an engaging mix of education and entertainment—from towering dinosaur skeletons and ancient fossils to immersive geology exhibits. The interactive, hands-on elements are a hit with both kids and adults. A highlight is the Discovery Room, where younger visitors can dig for fossils, solve puzzles, and explore in a fun, educational space. The museum also features rotating exhibits, workshops, and knowledgeable staff who are always ready to share their passion. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, there’s always something new to discover. A captivating, well-curated destination that truly inspires a love for the natural world. Highly recommended!

WOW, this place blew my mind. I spent 2.5 hours here, but there were so many interactive things to do, I could have been there all day. I have been to Salt Lake many times. I had never been here before. It was amazing. I took so many pictures. I highly recommend this to anyone. Especially families with kids. It was such a wonderful learning experience. I don't know how I missed this place all these years.

Ones of my all-time favorite museum visits! The exhibits are extensive and thought-provoking. I love that the interpretation encourages visitors to think from different perspectives. The exhibit design is logical and had plenty of interaction opportunity that reinforce what you just viewed. I saw people from age 2 to 82 enjoying and learning. Don't miss the outdoor views of SLC and the surrounding mountains. The cafe was really good too!

We went on a Thursday afternoon and it took about 2.5 hrs to go through, and there was no wait to get tickets. It was busy, kids summer camps, but not crowded. The overall atmosphere was relaxed and informative. The facility is clean, modern, and nicely laid out. They have many hands-on activities for kids, and plenty of staff and volunteers to guide you or answer questions. Obviously, it shows cases Utah's unique history and people.

Over the years, we have visited a great many museums and it is very rare to find one as interesting and professionally done as this one. It is in a class with the Smithsonian Museums in Washington DC. Visiting this museum was not part of our plans for our trip but it would have been horrible if we had missed this magnificent place. If you go, allow yourself plenty of time to marvel at the scale of the artifacts presented here.

The Olympic Park was very interesting and free! We went through both museums and the gift shop. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got to watch people practice jumping on the airbag and into the pool. The pool practice was really entertaining. The staff can tell you when athletes will be practicing. Unfortunately we were not able to go on the tour as it was sold out. Make sure to buy tickets ahead of time if you want to ensure you make it. Worth your time.

We did the Gold Pass and enjoyed our whole allotted time! So many fun activities, and some you can’t do anywhere else. We did the zip lines, ropes course, tubing down the ski jumps, activity tower, and alpine slide. We had so much fun! And we got challenged, which was a bonus. Our 9 and 16 year old boys had a blast! It can be somewhat expensive, but we felt it was worth it. Have an adventurous attitude and you won’t be disappointed. It was also really cool to watch the ski jumpers and aerialists practice. Very fun day!

My husband, daughter and I enjoyed coming out to Park City Mountain View. We took Our lesson today and it was nice outside. Not that cold at all except for the snow. 🤪 Our instructor Lucas was great! Loved his chill vibe. He was patient, kind, encouraging and helpful as we moved from one lesson to the other. We were three and he still kept up with our needs. We all needed different tips for where we were in the progression of the lesson. I believe as a beginner to snow sports it’s better to come at this time after the high season or before. It just gives you more space to learn around fewer people compared to the high season. Beautiful scenery all around!🙏😎🥰 We will be back. Thanks Lucas!!!

Went to Utah for the snow. Chose this one since it was the only one on the epic. Expected a bit of snow but from what I heard it was crowded. Over that weekend, I got the most snow in my life. I’m sure if you went into the cottonwood canyons you’d get more snow but Park City wonderful.

Love this place!!! I come here every year to ski and I have to say it is an amazing place. The locals there are just so friendly and willing to help out with anything. I really like the variety of runs that they have on just blacks. The food is expensive but if you have an epic pass you can get a discount on your food. Ski school is great for beginners and kids. Overall it’s a great place and will keep you entertained for your stay.

Park city Mountain is a great resort and has beautiful views, but it’s mostly cat track runs with not too much off piste. This place 20 or 30 years ago would’ve been absolutely amazing however they have not invested in any of the infrastructure since then the ski lifts are battered and busted up the chairlifts of literally from the 1980s. They need to take a leaf out of the European resort and start improving the chairlifts and having bubbles and heated seats with eight man chairlifts that run on each of the lifts. You are charging a quadruple the price of a European ski ticket per day so therefore put the money back into the mountain and stop taking the profits. One person on a ski lift yesterday told me it was all about the historical nature of the mountain. Well I’d like to remind that guy that Europe was around a lot longer before the Usa was. But on a constructive note it would be helpful for the price of the lift ticket that the ski lifts were updated for a top class resort you’d expect top class facilities.

Park City Main Street Historic District is a charming downtown area with shops and restaurants housed in century-old buildings. The picturesque setting includes snow-covered mountains in winter and vibrant fall foliage. Visitors can capture slice-of-life moments, like kids enjoying ice cream or diners laughing under umbrellaed tables. Staying in town offers easy access to dining and shopping but may require a shuttle ride to the ski slopes.
We stayed about 4 miles down the road, but would highly recommend staying in this area (although it may get busy at night). Explored every morning, when everyone else was out skiing and it is such a cute, quintessential long strip of restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, art galleries, and known shopping. Plenty of parking choices to pick from and variety for all.

Nice area with pretty and quaint little shops, restaurants and art galleries. Perfect for a day visit. Had a nice stroll along the street with a few designated stops in some of the stores, and had nice chats with some store and art gallery owners. Had a good pleasant lunch in a taco restaurant, and an after lunch sweet bite in the local chocolate shop.

Having never been to Park City before I was shocked at how sprawling it is. We stated a hotel with the Olympic ski jump as a backdrop. However 8 mi away was the beautiful Park City Old Town Newtown whatever you want to call it. It is simply gorgeous. We were there early so only the coffee shops showed signs of life. But it was a great time to see the community without the hustle and bustle. Weather was perfect. We aren't much for snow anymore. So Park City in the summer is as good as it gets.

A nice looking town with lots of high to overpriced shops to browse. Got some good exercise walking down then up hill. It does have a trolley to help people out. Occupied a couple of hours looking around. Asked a shop clerk about public rest rooms and she rudely told us they were next door. They got the job done at best. It is interesting how such upscale towns have such poorly maintained facilites for people that are spending money in the town.

Christmas snow globe tour was a little bummer. The website made it seem it would be a little more interactive. Some are spaced really far apart. Had a little higher expectations considering it is in Park City. The decorations on Main Street was cute. Loved the tree. We happened to be there the night Santa was supposed to ski down the slopes. No Santa unlike what the site claimed it was to happen. Big bummer for the kiddos!

Came here to have lunch/drinks on the desk to relax and enjoy the beautiful views they have here on the terrace. My fault I forgot it was a holiday, and they were fully booked; but the nicest male host/manager (tried to catch his name as I left but couldn't find him later) gave me a nice spot to enjoy a mimosa regardless. Super lovely host/manager, I would always come back here for dinner/lunch/drinks on a non-busy holiday. The place is spectacular, be prepared to make a reservation for a weekend or holiday. Thank you Deer Valley folks!

While I love skiing Deer Valley and enjoy the amenities & service… they have eliminated the affordable Locals Ski Pass this 25/26 season. The new “Limited” pass is $1500 and makes it hard for non wealth locals and workers to enjoy the slopes. I find it sad and disappointing that Deer Valley is pushing higher prices and exclusivity over actual benefits for the sport & community !

BEWARE NEVER BUY SEAON PASS INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have lived in Park City for over twenty years. Skied at DV for longer. I had bilateral foot surgery last year. For that reason, I purchased insurance on my pass. I didn't use it one time. After submitting all the required documentation, their subsidiary company declined a refund. This is gross injustice. I think DV needs a serious reevaluation.

Honestly we had a great time. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Outside of the fact that everything was VERY expensive. Which is totally my perception, so we passed on getting lunch. Went to the top of the mountain and it was amazing. On the way down to the area with the stage and trailers that were selling food and beverages. We went to the ice cream shop and I requested 1. Kids cup single scoop with (free one choice mind you) gummy bears. $4 + $1 for the gummy bears. 1. Single scoop cone with (not charged for free one choice) (free one choice mind you) butterfinger dust. $7 1. Single scoop cup with rainbow sprinkles (free one choice mind you) $7 + $1 for sprinkles. SPRINKLES Total ending at $34.22 What math is this?? She was alone and trying so hard. But to be charged for the free option on the scoops. And to be charged $14 dollars over what is clearly written on the side of the trailer. She was flustered and had a line growing behind me so I didn’t want to give her a hard time since she was obviously overwhelmed. I want a refund for paying almost double what I received and requested
Casey P — Google review
The music was great! But the organization was poor. The line was chaotic, inefficient, and not effective. I know for a fact that people around me in the line told the staff their bags had been checked and they were not. Bring your own food. The options there are limited, expensive, and not good. Just exiting the amphitheater proved to be a challenge. Half the hill was ripped through the restaurant with the path partly blocked. Traffic and foot traffic exiting conflicted and could have been greatly improved.

Thanksgiving Point

Mentioned on 
12 lists 
$$$$affordable
Non-profit organization
Thanksgiving Point in Lehi is a sprawling nonprofit complex that offers a diverse range of attractions for both locals and tourists. Visitors can explore the Museum of Ancient Life, which features hands-on exhibits that appeal to all ages. The Ashton Gardens, spanning 55 acres, showcase themed gardens and are a paradise for gardening enthusiasts. Additionally, Farm Country allows guests to interact with various farm animals such as llamas, alpacas, and peacocks.
BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK IN UTAH PERIOD!!! Took my mom, littlest sister and my son; there was something to do for everyone ranging in ages from 9 to 50. Plus the staff was super helpful, friendly, and downright professional. There is the rope course that's not included in the all access passes but inexpensive none the less and it didn't lack to entertain us from beginning to end.

We visited Thanksgiving Point in the spring and were thoroughly impressed by the gardens. The landscaping was stunning—vibrant, well-maintained, and ideal for capturing memorable photos. The venue also offered several engaging play activities for children, making it a great family destination. Multiple food vendors were available, providing a variety of options for snacks and meals. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable day out.

We visited Thanksgiving point with its many museums during Spring break to Salt Lake City. We had a chance to visit the ongoing Tulip festival which was a blast. We enjoyed doing a little world puzzle treasure hunt identifying a huddle letter in different view points in the tulip festival at Ashton Garden. The ice cream treat at iceage creamery was outstanding. We had fun learning at different exhibits about ants, butterflies, origins of earth and different stages and dinosaurs.

Cornbellys is the fall version of Disneyland. It has great activities and something to do around every corner. It has amazing food a good prices. There is a lot included in your ticket which is great and if you leave near by make it worth it to buy the season pass, as you will not be able to do everything in one night. Duck racing was super fun this is only part time of the year at thanksgiving point but the I also have the season pass to thanksgiving point. Worth it after like 3 uses. If you have kids and you live within an hour of thanksgiving point get that pass.

We just LOVE this place. All the museums/experiences are amazing and the workers are more than welcoming! My kids have a blast every time we go. I also help run a girls camp (Be The Best You Camp) at the Show barn for a week in the summer and all the meals have amazing servers and Thanksgiving point is so great to work with!

My partner brought me here for my birthday because he knows I flip for stuff like this. I had never been before and didn't know what to expect. It was AMAZING. We got the all-day, all-venue pass and we were determined to visit everything (which me managed to do). The Butterfly Biosphere as well as the giant koi pond at the Museum of Natural Curiosity were absolutely magical. I could have spent all day in the museum of ancient life (I freaking love dinosaurs). We went early in the spring, so there wasn't a lot to do at Ashton Gardens. But we rented a golf cart and had so much fun zipping around the grounds on it. I can't wait to go back!

Timpanogos Cave National Monument

Temporarily Closed
National reserve
Outdoor Activities
Visitors can take guided tours of this cave at the end of a 1.5 mile trail from May to September.
The Timpanogos Cave Trail offers a rewarding and accessible hike with impressive views. Although the parking lot was packed, the timed-entry system keeps the number of visitors on the trail and in the cave at a manageable level. The paved trail climbs steadily with a significant elevation gain over a short distance, but it’s still very doable for most hikers. Before heading up, there’s a brief safety orientation which helps set expectations. The cave tour itself is fascinating, walking through the stalactite cave is a unique and well organized experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!
Roland K — Google review
You need tickets (<$40 for 3), and a national forest pass (America the Beautiful pass). You meet at the visitor center at your ticket time. So your ticket time is when you begin your hike, and your cave tour at the top of the hike starts at 1.5 hours after your ticket time. We completed the hike faster, and we were able to get in on an earlier tour because there was room. The hike isn’t crazy. It’s steep, but there’s intermittent shade. Especially if you’re from Utah and are used to hiking you will be totally fine. Sea level folks struggle a bit. Great cave tour, the guides are well prepared and do a good job leading you through so that you don’t hit your head or trip. They know what to say when to say it. They share interesting facts about the cave and did a good job answering the group’s questions. We didn’t need the coats we brought.
Rachel Q — Google review
This is one of my favorite places to visit in all of Utah. The hike to get to the cave is breathtaking in every sense of the word. Very strenuous, but paved and has spectacular views. The cave itself is so interesting and beautiful. I was shocked by the vibrant colors. The tour guides are very knowledge and make it fun. Make sure to reserve tickets in plenty of advance. I wouldn’t recommend doing the hike during the summer afternoon (morning is best for summer). There is a bathroom at the top near the cave entrance, which is great (but stinky). The tour takes about an hour and the hike takes about 1.5 hours for a slow group.
Jen N — Google review
All right, it’s very steep, but there are a lot of benches along the way for you to rest! We booked a 9 AM start time for our hike, but we got there early and started around 8 AM because we know we’re a bit slower. We had two seniors and an asthmatic in tow. We had to be at the caves at 10:30 and we arrived right at 10:20-ish. They were very nice and had no problem with us starting earlier this way, we didn’t have to feel like we were killing ourselves on the way up lol We did the cave tour and there was a lot of bending and twisting. They won’t allow poles in the cave unless they can fold up very small. My poles were able to fold up small enough to fit in their box, but my in-laws poles could not fold that small and they had to put them down in the Bear box. You also can’t bring very big backpacks. Think more the size of a bladder bag besides if you’re in the cave, you’re not gonna want much bigger than that anyways because you have a lot of bending and twisting, and you need to put your bag in front of you quite a bit because the bag and you won’t fit when you’re ducking from getting your head hit on all of the formations in the cave. There was one section that was especially challenging going up the stairs because the formation took over half the stair. Just be prepared to twist bend and potentially crawl depending in how tall and wide you may be. We were exhausted but we made it! There’s also a super fun book you can sign at the end of the cave tour to leave your mark of saying “you were here”

Well worth the 3 Mile round-trip hike gaining and losing 1100 ft and well worth the money for a ticket. Our trail was asphalted and carefully taken care of. It was a joy to walk on. Our park ranger guide was an archeologist who knew his stuff and made the cave tour fun and exciting. Expect the whole experience to take you 3-1/2 plus hours. You must buy tickets beforehand and with tour size limited to 16 people, they go fast. You can get them at recreation.gov. this national monument doesn't disappoint! Note: If the tour is sold out or you just don't want to go through it, you are free to hike the trail up to the caves at no cost.
Al D — Google review
It's a very good exercise to get to the entrance of the cave. Inside is very cold (around 50F or 10C) so bring some warm clothes. A bottle of water is just fine. Cave is not what you imagining, it's very tight and and few places you have to go in crunch just to pass overhead walls. It is a good experience.
Slavko J — Google review
Timpanogos Cave is a national monument run by Park rangers in American Fork, but really closer to Alpine Highlands. It's relatively easy to get to and has a good sized parking lot. The visitor center is quite small, but you can get your stamp and they have some historical information to walk through. You can hike up to the caves by yourself, but you can only enter by purchasing a tour ahead of time through recreation.gov. It's 1.5 miles up and there's a bathroom up top, but it has many switchbacks and can be quite tough for those who aren't in the best shape. If you buy the tour tickets, you have an hour and a half to get up for the tour to start, which can be done easily with a few breaks up the steep parts. The whole park is paved and well taken care of. Inside the caves, there's a lot of cool caverns and tunnels. They advise you not to bring strollers or large backpacks, and since you aren't allowed to touch things inside the cave, they say that small children are better off not entering. It can get dark and maybe scary for little kids. Overall it's a great hike but make sure to book it at least a week out and try early morning to avoid the sun on the hike up.
Matt P — Google review
Excellent experience. I highly recommend. I highly recommend that you go prepared to hike a steep hike. Bring water but no backpacks. The views are amazing. The cave is a must see. You learn a ton of facts and history about the discovery of the caves. I’ve been several times. I will be back.

Bridal Veil Falls

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Bridal Veil Falls is a scenic waterfall located close to U.S. route 189 with a paved trail and picnic area equipped with tables. The falls are accompanied by frozen sections that enhance its beauty making it an ideal spot for sightseeing. It provides an opportunity for a short hike along the river, showcasing a series of waterfalls providing picturesque views.
Took my teenage granddaughters to this free experience. Of course, they wanted to climb up to get close in personal with the falls at the top. I figured there was an easier way to get there than straight up the waterfall. But that is the path they took. And I figured I needed to stay with them. It was not a super easy route, but I am in my 60s and I made it and lived to tell about it. On the way down, I found the proper trail That zigzags at a much better grade to the top. That trail starts at the bottom, right near the bridge from the parking lot. I highly recommend going that route. I also do not suggest hiking up on icy days. It was June when we made the trek That said, the falls are gorgeous. My granddaughters are from out of town and said this was one of their favorite hikes. They loved the waterfalls and spent considerable time, taking photos and selfies at the top and enjoying the vistas. There are some wading pools at the bottom where younger children—with supervision—can get their feet wet while those more venturous can hike to the top.
Paul N — Google review
This was a great hike up to the fall. You can see them from the bottom without much of a hike, but we took the actual trail up further to get better pictures and it was just enough to get your blood pumping, but it wasn’t too tough. Two seniors and an asthmatic managed without issues.
Sailormoongirl323 — Google review
I was recommended this place by a local. At the water falls base is a kid friendly basin that holds the water before it enters the river: couple feet deep. For hikers: there are a couple ways to get up to the lookout. Up the river, and the two unpaved, rocky paths that starts from the path to the base of the river. I’d recommend the “hard path” for more experienced hikers and the “easy path” for everyone else willing to walk across some relatively vertical and shaky spots. Having a hard time finding the “easy path”? Go back down and look for the diverge to the left: it is easy to miss. When you make it you will be rewarded with a gorgeous and comfortable view, sparkling clear water and some clay. Overall, pretty quick hikes (maybe 15 mins?).

We love riding bikes on the Provo River Trail through Provo Canyon. You have to dismount by Bridal Veil Falls and walk through the crowds before you can mount bikes and ride again, but the stop to look at the falls is always spectacular no matter what season of the year.

William C — Google review
Such a beautiful place to visit with a wonderful, paved walking trail and lots of shade. Keep in mind that there is no shade directly at the base of the falls and it can get hot and crowded. I hope they clean things up around the base of the falls soon. There has been what looks like a makeshift bridge there for a while. It makes things look half baked, messy, not ready to make a great impression for visitors. If I came from out of town, I'd feel a bit let down. What can the community do to help?

Private university
Sights & Landmarks

Established in 1875, Brigham Young University is a private Mormon institution renowned for its stunning campus and strong athletic programs. The university boasts breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and meticulously maintained gardens. Additionally, visitors can explore various attractions such as art and paleontology museums, a fine arts center, and a creamery. Despite being affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, BYU welcomes students from diverse religious backgrounds. Many praise the university for its exceptional professors and high-quality education.
This is one of the best Universities in the entire country! Not only do they teach great academics, but is one of the few that hasn't gone completely rediculous woke! The Wasatch mountains just behind it are some of the most beautiful as well. Football games in this stadium are so fun and the backdrop is breathtaking!

I forgot to do this when I graduated last year 😂 but I was getting this notification and wanted to wait until I graduated! Like any college, it is hard! BYU will give a challenging education, but it is rewarding to finish!! But, that's only part of it!! I loved the professors there. No mascot beats Cosmo (ours), and the mountains and landscaping on our campus makes this area very beautiful!!!

I am a current student as of writing this. I love this university with all my heart. Professors are so knowledgeable and so amazing in their fields.

Outstanding university with a talented pool of students. Situated in one of the most breathtakingly scenic locations for a university campus, with stunning mountains on the doorstep of the school, your walks to class will be often awe-inspiring. There has been a lot of updating on the campus. Make no mistake, this is a unique environment that won't be for everyone. But for active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or those who like the clean-cut environment, it is a great place to get an education. Though it has a well-deserved reputation as being very conservative, you will find a lot more political diversity here than you expect on many issues. And with the majority of students from outside the state of Utah, in many ways, it is more diverse than any other school in Utah, and less in the "bubble" than critics often claim. Great place to get an education. And the cost for the value is incredible!

Brigham Young University has been voted 21st of the prettiest college campuses. It is a stunning campus nestled beneath the gorgeous Cascade mountains with the huge Y on it. BYU is known for their high standards in academics, integrity, and morality. The campus has beautiful landscaping, the buildings are kept up nicely and are beautifully designed. The student housing is new and nice. Great place to go for further education. #most_beautiful_University

Great university! Amazing value for the price and I liked how it included a religious education. I have many fond memories of lots of classes that I took (in the psychology and business departments). If you’re looking for a school with high moral and ethical standards, then this is the place for you. On the other hand, BYU might not be for everyone, to be honest. There is a strict honor code that all students must live by to keep a good standing with the university. While there is always some room for activism to change the university's honor code standards, BYU is a private university and may not be required to make such changes. If you're looking for a university in Utah Valley that does not hold students to the same moral standard as BYU, then Utah Valley University may be a better place to look for an education. At the end of the day, I think that this is a great place to study for anyone who is looking for academic rigor, a religious education, and a university that holds a high moral standard. Oh, and if you like chocolate milk, there's a lot of that. And there are lots of nice mountains that are right behind the school.

The museum is a great resource for there community and Utah at large to show the history of the area and Utah at large. In particular, there is currently an INCREDIBLE art exhibit of stunning textile pieces. The museum is small, but folks/families could easily spend a couple hours here, longer if you are really reading through and taking your time. There is a small kid area with a sand pit excavation area, coloring pages, books, puzzles, etc. Notes: The museum is 2 levels. I’m not sure if there is an elevator, so you may want to check before. Prices: kids $3 Adults $7 Families (details in picture) $20 The kid area is nice but the size is limited to about 3 families I really liked that museum is Utah specific—Utah people, Utah mineral, Utah dinosaurs, etc.

A fun, relaxed and informative look into Utah's landscape and the paleontological and archeological gems it holds. The exhibits are well laid out and the structure of the two wings allow you to progress as fast or slow as youd like and jump to whatever intrigues you most. There's also an option for an audio guided tour. Tickets were reasonably priced with a minimal wait. Sami in the gift shop/behind the counter was great. She was warm, personable and helped me pick out some great gifts for friends and family. She'll take good care of you! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing through or visiting Utah for the first time. Its a unique experience, for a fair price with friendly staff.

Colorado River & Trail Expeditions (CRATE) was founded in 1971 by Dave and Vicki, who met during a Grand Canyon rafting trip. The company is known for its technical backdown and turnaround motorized raft runs still used in the Grand Canyon today. Customers rave about their amazing experiences with CRATE, praising the pre-trip orientation, comfortable transportation, and exceptional boat captains and swampers.

Biggest isn't always best. CRATE killed it on our 5 day Desolation canyon trip! Small group. Which is best in my opinion. Guides can be more attentive to one's needs. 3 day's inclement weather. Pea sized hail and, a flash flood. Want to test your guides? put them through that. Brent, Chase, Owen you guy's shined! Wouldn't trade those rain day's for sunshine.

Wow, I cannot say ENOUGH how amazing CRATE was for my August 2018 trip. I've always wanted to raft the Grand Canyon and I couldn't imagine doing it without this family-owned company. From the amazing pre-trip orientation with Bonnie at our hotel in Vegas, the comfortable bus ride out to Fredonia and of course our ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Boat Captains, Walker, and Johnny Ringo, but our Swampers were out of this world too, Yendor, Nayr and Robbie. These folks made our trip truly life-changing, interesting, and fun from the minute we met them at the warehouse. Not ONLY were they completely patient with those on our trip who weren't used to rafting, but they answered every stupid question un-related to rafting that we had-about the animals, their personal lives, stars, planets, their best stories, nothing was off limits with them. Walker's knowledge and obvious passion for the river and his stewardship of the Colorado and the Canyon are apparent in every conversation and action. His ability to make you feel completely comfortable with him from the first minute you meet him, and to make the canyon feel as much like home to us as it is to him, is one that not many have. Johnny Ringo, well, if you've met the man then no explanation needed :D A great personality and hilarious, sometimes subtle, sense of humor and his obvious geology nerdery made his boat fun for all. The fact that he too embraces a costume at camp made us kindred spirits. Yendor, Nayr, and Robbie-the best swampers we could have asked for! Always willing to help, always willing to laugh and so helpful with all the things. The side trips, the waterfalls, the hikes, the out-of-this-world-couldn't-possibly-be-real views, the histories, the connection to place...all happened because of the care that CRATE puts into and behind their business. You know that it is a passion for them first and a business endeavor second. EVERY thought was taken care of: comfortable cots with sleeping pads/bags, ground cover, chairs with backs and MY GOD THE FOOD! I don't eat that well when I'm at home, never would have expected I would eat better/more while on a secluded river trip. There's not enough that I could say about this company, they are amazing in every sense of the word and I cannot wait to get back on to the river with them! And awaaaaaaaaay we go!

History Museums
The John Wesley Powell River History Museum in Green River, Utah is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. It offers a deep dive into the region's river history and its impact on the American West. The museum collaborates with Utah Humanities to provide engaging programs like workshops and film screenings that explore the legacy of John Wesley Powell and the significance of water in the area. Visitors can also explore nearby attractions such as Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and more for an enriching experience.
Very much enjoyed my visit. Easy to navigate and learned a lot of interesting history of western rivers and the first boaters who navigated them. A must stop for any river runner. Beautiful view of the green river, and close to many other things worth checking out.

Great local museum currently housing the “Glen Canyon Exposed” exhibit. The “Glen Canyon Exposed: Now and Then" is an excellent photography exhibit at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum that contrasts Tad Nichols’ 1950s images of Glen Canyon before its submersion with Dawn Kish’s recent photos of the landscape reemerging as Lake Powell recedes. Using Nichols’ original camera, Kish revisits his sites, capturing the canyon’s transformation and resilience. The exhibit invites reflection on environmental loss, restoration, and the enduring impact of human intervention on nature. The exhibit will be there until April of 2026.

Unfortunately, the museum was closed by the time we arrived in town. We looked inside and walked the perimeter of the museum to get a grasp of what it might offer. Located on the banks of the Green River along East Main Street, the museum has a large parking lot to the south and east of the museum, an 8-station Tesla Supercharger station, a nice sized park on the east side of the museum and a smaller grass area on the west side with chairs along the riverbank. On the south side of the building are restrooms, which were still open at the time of our visit. We wished we had more time in the morning to have a visit but will have to wait until the next time we pass through.

Nice little museum that focuses on the exploration of the Green River by John Wesley Powell. Some references to indigenous peoples too, but would appreciate if they would include some natives in the curation, to bring in a different/ enriched perspective of the river and its surroundings.

Nice museum. Lots of reading, so not recommended for very young children, unless they are patient and understand what you might read to them. Otherwise, you'd have to occupy them while you read and then explain the display to them. Clean, well arranged, nice gift shop. The only thing that kept them from a higher rating was the restrooms being attached to and accessed from the outside of the building.

My car broke down on a Friday night, so I had to get a room down the interstate in Green River, UT, and I couldn't have been happier with a small town. As I was lucky to have the local mechanic help me out by getting my car back in the road that day, I still had a full day to see the town. Lucky for me the museum was right next door. For a $7 adult ticket, that is good for 7 days, I got to learn a lot about the town and surrounding area. I can't recommend the museum enough.

Learn some real history. Awesome, (except for the plugging of Global warming BS). The over use of our rivers is what is causing the level decrease. Water flows of rivers into the basin are on the 100 plus year average. Snow and Rain are plentiful.

The views from this area are Outstanding!! A perfect way to be greeted and welcomed into Canyonlands National Park!

Nice small park. Spaces are level but pretty tight. Shower house is not real private with short walls and wooden walls. It's an okay place to stay. Would stay again.

With all national parks i think it is always good to stop in the visitors center. Here you can get your stamp see some info about the park and if necessary ask the helpful rangers any questions that you may have. They also list any ranger lead activities for the day. Don't forget to cross the street to see the overlook

Love all the national parks, but Canyonlands is the nearby but less busy neighbor to Arches. Some fun hikes, lots to see, especially Mesa Arch is just amazing and there are so many panoramic lookouts.

The ranger was very friendly and helpful. A potable water faucet was conveniently located just outside the visitor center, the only spot for drinking water for anyone camping there. During our early September visit, they offered nearly daily day and night sky programs.

Great place to get your bearings. I mean, the place is massive, massive. The visitor center offers you insight to the trails/weather etc. they also have a gift shop and toilets.

This is where you check-in to start your multi-day White Rim Road adventure. The young man explaining the geology of the area with samples of rock and player casts was quite nice and informative.

Island in the Sky Visitor Center is a great stop in Canyonlands National Park. My wife brought the kids to collect Junior Ranger badges. The staff was friendly and asked fun questions, making it a great experience.
