This is a post about what to do and where to go that is interesting in Utah. It didn't start out that way. I was actually looking for some information about deserts.
I peeked into a site called Desert USA and stumbled upon several lists of places to go – things to see in the desert countries and realized there were a lot of those things in Utah (and the surrounding states of the west); and many of them I have seen.
Actually there were lists of things in a lot of states but, for now, I just limited my search to Utah and found 101 of 'em! (That is if I count correctly)
For your holiday perusal I've sort of cleaned up the list, categorized them a bit and added some links. See how many you've been to and I'm sure you'll add a few to your to-do lists.
Can you add any others to the list? If so, add them in the comment section below.

WHEW! - Believe me this kinda list isn't easy to keep updated – which is probably why very few people attempt it. Especially the government pages. They seem to change web links at the drop of a whim; so, I'm sure that at least some of the links will go out of date.
If you've got a correction PLEASE advise us in the comments.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I will, of course, be moderating all comments to make sure (a) they conform to the standards of good taste set forth by Offroading Home; and (b) nope that's pretty much it.
