Who made Utah? You’ll probably find yourself asking that as you stare into the kaleidoscope of colors and hypnotizing rock formations that have made Utah famous. Or as you raft its rivers, ski its slopes, climb its cliffs… you get the idea. Utah is a land like no other, home to some of the most distinctive and little-populated geography in the world. A slew of national parks and year-around outdoor activities help you soak in the strange beauty of it all. Check out the ski resorts surrounding Salt Lake City.

If you’re not wowed, you might want to check your pulse.
