Northern Utah Forests and Lakes

Arrive in Salt Lake City to start your tour. With its combination of opulent mansions, public art and shopping, this city rivals those twice its size. Drive north to Logan nestled in the heart of Cache Valley with its historic architecture and unique shops. The drive from Logan Canyon to Bear Lake passes under imposing cliffs and dense green forests to the turquoise waters of the lake. Meander the dramatic canyon scenery through Laketown and Flaming Gorge’s impressive red canyon to Vernal, gateway to Dinosaur National Monument. Cross through Uintah Ouray Indian Reservation and skirt the edge of Manti La Sal National Forest providing a stunning backdrop to your journey. Capitol Reef National Park has spectacular views of red rocks in contrast to the alpine forest you have just left. Entering the greenery of Dixie National Forest you arrive in Bryce Canyon where sunrise offers light gold hues changing to red, pink and purple as the sun sets. Explore small villages and scenery on your way to famous Las Vegas and your flight home.
