EXPLORING UTAH’S NATIONAL MONUMENTS
EXPLORING UTAH’S NATIONAL MONUMENTS
UTAH IS JAMMED PACKED WITH SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL NATIONAL MONUMENT’S AND WE THINK YOU SHOULD GET OUT AND EXPLORE THEM.
There is no better time than now to get outside and show your support for our precious outdoor spaces. Utah in particular, is a state that is truly rich with breathtaking outdoor spaces to explore, with some of the country’s best national and state parks, national forests, lakes, and canyons.
IT’S HARD TO PLAY FAVORITES, BUT THESE UTAH MONUMENTS TOP OUR ‘MUST-SEE’ LIST:
BEARS EARS
This national monument has stirred up a lot of controversy recently—and with good reason. As the state’s youngest monument, it lays claim to one of the most fascinating cultural landscapes in the country, with nearly countless Native American ruins (think pottery, rock art, cliff dwellings, and ceremonial kivas) stretched across the jaw-dropping scenery of Bears Ears’ 1.35 million acres of sandstone canyons, mesas, and forested buttes.
Activity options are almost as overwhelming as Bears Ears sheer size, with everything from hiking, backpacking, and trail running to mountain biking and off-roading. Bonus: from certain areas of Bears Ears you can also easily access the three huge, stream-carved natural bridges at the aptly-named Natural Bridges National Monument.
