26 Unusual Sites Worth Visiting in Utah

From ancient art to rock formations unlike anything you’ve ever seen, Utah’s wonders span every corner of the state.

26 Places

A haven for outdoor enthusiasts of every stripe, Utah draws adventure seekers from every corner of the world. Rock climbers seek legendary expeditions near Zion and Moab; mountain bikers prove themselves on the Slickrock Trail and Magnificent Seven; and runners flock to the state’s trails to test the limits of endurance. For those who prefer adventures of a more leisurely variety, predictably clear skies make for perfect camping and stargazing.

Whatever your preferred style of adventure might be, you’ll find something unusual worth seeing across Southern Utah and beyond. Our favorites include the striking blue potash ponds visible from Dead Horse Point State Park, the grove of aspens known as The Trembling Giant that might be the one of the oldest living organisms on the planet, and a giant concrete arrow once used by airmail carriers to navigate the desert. 

But that’s just the beginning. Where will you go?
