Parks and nature reserves in Utah

Utah’s landscape encompasses high-altitude forests, arid salt flats, and the world’s densest deposits of Jurassic-era fossils. This collection spans the red rock hoodoos of Bryce Canyon and the massive sandstone arches of Moab to the turquoise waters of Bear Lake. It includes specialized sites like the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry and the 30,000-acre Bonneville Salt Flats, a remnant of the ancient Lake Bonneville known for its crusty white surface.
