You may immediately think of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when you think of Salt Lake City, but you would be remiss if you limited yourself to Temple Square. Utah’s capital city is also home to interesting museums, multiple professional sports teams and an exciting live music scene. Plus, Salt Lake City boasts proximity to a number of ski resorts and trail-filled Wasatch Mountain State Park, making it especially appealing to adventure seekers.

Located in Utah and Arizona, Monument Valley features a red landscape that is easily recognizable. Here, you’ll find Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, which houses sandstone towers and buttes that have appeared in movies like «Forrest Gump» and «Stagecoach.» Must-do activities in the Utah section of the valley include hiking, horseback riding and whitewater rafting. You’ll want to also save time for learning more about the park’s Navajo history, which you can do while admiring the scenery during a guided vehicle or horseback tour with a Navajo tour operator.
