10 Cities on a Shoestring
Rated by 13 members
#7 of 10: Southern Utah
Ok, Southern Utah isn't really a city as much as an area – a breathtaking and unforgettable area, of the American Southwest. Aside from national park fees – generally $25 per vehicle, per park – you'll pay nothing to see some of the most incredible sights in the country and make memories with your family sure to last a lifetime.
- Rim Trail, Bryce Canyon National Park
Walk the entire 11 miles, or a more accessible, flat, one-mile section to take in incredible views of Bryce Amphitheater and Fairyland, with stratified rock formations that are right out of a "Star Wars" movie.
- Fairyland Loop, Bryce Canyon National Park
Try a more challenging, less crowded hike that offers a chance to marvel at the pink-and-orange hued spires sticking up like inverted icicles out of the Utah landscape.
- Emerald Pools, Zion National Park
Take an easy or moderate hike to see a series of tranquil pools and waterfalls in one of Utah's must-see national parks. There's no swimming allowed, but you can catch the spray to cool off in some spots, and you're bound to get a beautiful photograph.
- West Rim Trail, Zion National Park
This is a highlight of any trip to Zion for a courageous hiker. The trail's steep ascent to Angel's Landing makes it appropriate for older, experienced kids who don't mind heights and can handle a four-hour round-trip.
