The United States is a beautiful place to live. Every state has its own unique attractions. Utah used to be one of the best kept secrets in the nation. When the Olympics were celebrated here in 2002 the world's eyes were opened to the beauty and diversity that is found here. If you want to see natural wonders you need to come here and experience the attractions that Utah has to offer. A good example is a short drive from Torrey Utah to Bryce Canyon on highway 12. You will go from the lush green forests found at the Torrey end and end up at one of the most beautiful canyons to be found on this earth. Bryce Canyon. Bryce Canyon is something everyone should have on their bucket list and when you arrive you will understand why. I would suggest that you travel in the summer. Bryce Canyon can be cold even in late spring and early in the fall. If you do go during the colder part of the season the beauty is not lost, it is enhanced. The snow can add another beautiful color to the red and orange rocks. Just dress appropriately. Highway 12 goes past some other beautiful scenery also. Upper and lower calf creek are beautiful. Just a short hike lets you experience some waterfalls and pools.Its amazing how much water can be found here. Good camping is found in the non peak season when the crowds are gone. Stop at the Capital reef visitor center and you can learn about more of the area and get plenty of information about the other things to do. If you have a 4 wheel drive and are adventurous and plan carefully you can take the back country to the hole in the rock site at Lake Powell and see where pioneers drove their horse and wagon's down the mountain on the way to settle southern Utah in the 1800's My point is, whoever say's Salt Lake city and Utah are "not the place" is just ignorant of the facts. Come see for yourself and oh yeah while your here enjoy some of the best ski resorts and snow you will ever find.

One more reason for avoiding Salt Lake City, is that it is totally surrounded by the state of Utah. Enough said.
