Utah is America's NATIONAL PARKS capital

Just another reason to visit Cottonwood Meadow Lodge this summer!


The fiive beautiful National Parks  in Utah include...

1. Arches National Park which contains the world's largest concentration of natural stone arches shown here

2. Millions of years of wind, water and geologic mayhem have shaped and etched the pink cliffs at Bryce Canyon National Park
3. Canyonlands National Park consists of canyons and plateaus carved by two mighty rivers - the Colorado and the Green. The park offers some of the most challenging 4X4 roads and whitewater rapids in the world

 
4. Capitol Reef National Park is characterized by sandstone formations, cliffs and canyons, and a 100-mile long bulge in the earth's crust called the Waterpocket Fold. Erosion has carved the rock into marvelous shapes.

5. Zion National Park is Utah's oldest national park. The park is known for its incredible canyons, including The Narrows, which attract canyoneers from around the world. Hiking possibilities are endless. With nearly three million visitors per year, Zion is Utah's most heavily used park



Don't miss the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park and the many State Parks in the area.
Also, Utah is the Gateway to the world famous Grand Canyon National Park
