UTAH
Utah has 5 national parks, 47 state parks,, 2 national recreation areas, 7 national monuments, 6 national forests and 22,900,000 acres of BLM lands. This means there are almost limitless places to get it on with the outdoors! Backcountry Gearheads live in one of the most impressive extreme sports meccas in the world. There aren’t too many other spots where you can ski or snowboard in the morning and go rage with your mountain bike in the afternoon…..

Thank you for this interesting post. It was very informative. You are absolutely right. with 5 national parks, Utah is the National Park capital of USA. Utah is one of the best, if not the best, place to go if you want to enjoy the great outdoors.
I am working on a new website at http://www.recreationparks.net and have numerous pages about Utah parks. For example, for Zion National Park, you can find the specific page here http://www.recreationparks.net/UT/washington/zion-national-park-the-guardian-angels. I’d love to get feedback from you and your readers about the site, ideas for what regional information to add, etc. I’m hoping that many people will vote on the activities at this and nearby parks, since that information will let me setup a search to help people find activities that interest them, and lead people to discover new public parks.
