Near Bonneville Salt Flats
Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple 198 km
A Hindu temple dedicated to Radha and Krishna, built for the Hindu community of Utah County. It holds weekly services for prayer and meditation and a calendar of seasonal festivals, the best known being the spring Festival of Colors, a Holi celebration that draws huge crowds.
Bryce Canyon National Park 378 km
Not a canyon at all but a row of huge natural amphitheatres cut into the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah. They are crowded with hoodoos, thin spires of red, orange and white rock shaped by frost and water, seen from a rim between about 2,400 and 2,700 metres up.
Zion National Park 406 km
A national park in southwestern Utah where the Virgin River has cut a deep canyon through red and cream sandstone. Trails like Angels Landing and The Narrows, where hikers wade upstream between sheer walls, draw walkers from around the world.
Grand Teton National Park 423 km
The sharp peaks of the Teton Range rise straight out of the valley of Jackson Hole here, with no foothills in between. The park lies about 16 km south of Yellowstone, and together with the forests around them they form one of the largest intact temperate ecosystems on Earth.
Arches National Park 431 km
More than 2,000 natural sandstone arches stand in this park just north of Moab, the densest collection of them anywhere on Earth. The best known is Delicate Arch, and the fins, spires and balanced rocks around it owe their shapes to a buried bed of salt shifting beneath the desert.
Canyonlands National Park 454 km
A maze of canyons, mesas and buttes carved by the Colorado and Green rivers and their tributaries in southeastern Utah. The park was created in 1964, and its overlooks look down on layer after layer of coloured rock worn away by the two rivers.
Old Faithful 474 km
A cone geyser in Yellowstone, named in 1870 and the first in the park to be given a name. It erupts on average about every 92 minutes, regular enough that crowds gather on the benches around it to wait, with the great log inn of the same name close by.
Horseshoe Bend 479 km
A horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River near Page, where the river loops right around a tall sandstone outcrop. From the overlook on the rim it is a sheer drop of about 300 metres to the green water.
