Best things to do in Utah
October and November are a quieter time of year in Utah in between the summer vacation and family reunion season and the winter skiing and snowmobiling season with the greatest snow on earth. The secret that not many people know is that the fall is one of the best times of the year in Utah. The weather is mild, the crowds are minimal, and the scenery is spectacular. Here are a few ideas on the best things to do in Utah in the fall.
The weather in Saint George, Utah is spectacular in the fall. The warm afternoons are beautiful, and the cool evenings are perfect for relaxing in the hot tub or by the gas firepit. There is endless recreation around Saint George in the fall. Zion National Park and Snow Canyon State Park both offer amazing hiking and breathtaking scenery. Mountain biking and ATV trails surround Saint George, and you will never run out of trails to ride. The River Home and Cliff Dwellers Retreat offer world-class accommodations around Saint George for groups of 5 to 35 people.
Moab is a fun place to be in October and November. The weather is mild, and the crowds have settled down. Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are both spectacular places to visit this time of year and offer beautiful views and great hiking. The La Sal Mountains just south of Moab offer amazing fall colors the first half of October and great ATV riding. Slick Rock Lodge is just south of Moab a couple of miles and offers luxurious lodging for groups of 5 to 70 people. It is a great location for being close to town and easy access to all the great recreation around Moab.
Kanab is an amazing recreation area. Zion and Bryce Canyon National Park are just north of Kanab and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and the Grand Staircase National Monument are just south of Kanab.
