My sister and brother-in-law first visited Utah in 2019, to stay with our friend in Salt Lake City and explore some national parks. She even wrote me a guest post about their road trip to Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon!
My husband and I joined them a few years later, when we traveled to SLC for a Brandon Sanderson convention (#nerds). I visited my first (real) national parks, and absolutely fell in love. Congrats, Utah. You are definitely one of the coolest states I’ve been to.
Year visited: 2019 & 2024
Time of year: June & December
