Fodor's Travel recently named Utah as their top travel destination for 2016! They cite the following factors in their decision:
- Largest single ski/snowboard resort in the country and many other smaller ones
- Lots of other options if you don't ski, namely 5 national parks
- A surprising amount of diversity
- Affordability & accessibility
There are a lot of other great recreation & sight-seeing venues:
Mount Timpanogos viewed from the South Fork of Provo Canyon |
- 7 national monuments
- 2 national recreation areas
- 43 state parks
- 1 national historic site
We also have great sports teams & venues:
- Utah Jazz basketball
- Real Salt Lake soccer
- Salt Lake Bees baseball
- Utah Grizzlies hockey
- Olympic Park
- Olympic Oval
- Rocky Mountain Raceway
In short, whether you've been to Utah before or not, one of your New Year's resolutions for 2016 should be to visit us in the Silicon Slopes.
Update: Days after I posted this The New York Times published their list of 52 Places to Go in 2016. Utah (Park City in particular) appears on the list at #12. No surprise.
