If Utah could be known for just one thing, it would be its landscape. What used to be a rarely visited desert has now become one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations. This is partly due to a campaign known as The Mighty 5.
Within the state of Utah, there are five national parks: Arches, Canyonlands, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, and Zion. And there are countless national monuments, state parks, and public lands to explore on top of that.
If you’re planning a road trip through Utah, building an itinerary around The Mighty 5 is one of the best ways to see the diversity of Utah’s ecosystems.
