TOP 10 PLACES IN UTAH | (That Aren't National Parks)

In this video I break down my top 10 favorite places in Utah, one of the most diverse, adventurous, and beautiful states in the countries. Filled with snow capped mountains, deserts, waterfalls, canyons, salt flats, and more, Utah has so many hidden gems. So much so that there is an endless amount to explore even past all of the national parks, which is why in this top 10 you won't see any national parks featured!

Living in Moab, I tend to forget about how awesome the rest of the state is. Thanks!

[janresendez]

Lived in Utah my entire life, and never knew we had a volcano! Crazy

I feel like the canyons along the Wasatch front don't get enough love.
They are by far my favorite part of this wonderful state!

[jimmyhylton]

timpanogus/silverlake and the uinta mountains are amazing if you don't feel like doing mostly desert

[jamescampbell]

Ogden Valley is breathtaking. World class skiing, incredible fall colors, amazing hiking and biking trails

I was born and raised in California, just did my first Zion trip at 27 years old and have never been happier. Moving to Utah ASAP. Gods country

You did a great job man! I’m a native of Utah and thought I knew everything! But you had a spot or two I hadn’t seen. Nice!!

[derekbennett]

Have lived and traveled the entire state of Utah, and these amazing places are everywhere throughout the state!! Definitely one of the most beautiful states in this country!!

[Arthur-Silva]

Deer Creek Reservoir is amazing, it’s near Sunset and it looks like the Alps! If you’re into kite surfing, kayaking, hiking, stand up paddle boarding, mountain biking and alpine vibes, you’re gonna love this area!

[somedude]

Kanarraville was one of my favorite spots...now it’s blown out. Thanks internet

[tavanweerd]

Love living here in UT. Don't forget that Monument Valley is on the Navajo Nation and subject to tribal law. Have fun in our cool State please be respectful.

[hangarounds]

Thanks man, I’m an adventurist and I’ve lived in around 7 different states throughout my life, (only 20) and I’ve just loved exploring things that haven’t really been seen. I just moved to Utah 2 months ago looking for new adventures. I appreciate it!

[krystalbenally]

I was born & raised in SLC... And now I never knew about most of these places?? Cool 😎 now I love my state more!!! ❤️

You did an excellent job on this, Kevin. I was in St. George on New Year’s in 1989 when the Quail Creek dike failed. It was crazy to be evacuated. You hit on some beautiful areas. When you have the chance, check out Central Utah from Fairview Canyon down to Boulder Mountain. Even with these 10 amazing spots, you haven’t exert scratched the surface of the beauty that exists here. Those of us who live here are fortunate. Well done, Kevin.

[kenlodge]

Yes, agree 2000%. Utah does not disappoint no matter where you go. Been to a couple of your sites and very amazed having them practically to ourselves. Didn't realize till later everyone only knows about the National's.

[jjkaiser]

I really must apologize for people's small-mindedness, Kevin. Nature means to expand our minds, and our hearts. Thank you for reminding me that every road I drive East-West or north-south in Utah, I am always amazed by its geology.

[JillSky]

Thank you so much for making this list! Me & my family just moved to UT and was curious of all the hidden gems to explore. I have noticed so many of the national parks with hikes like the Waves, Arches have permit lotteries. And, that is a real bummer if you can just want to openly explore. Thanks again !

4:17 Can confirm, Sand Hollow is AMAZING! There's a fun little cliff jumping area there as well. But be warned - if you swim in the shallow sandy areas you will likely get swimmer's itch, and it is beyond miserable. Stick to the rocky shores where it gets deep quickly and you'll be just fine.

[nolangarrity]

This was kinda like a cool video to kinda explain all of the kinda natural features and kinda places that you can kinda do a lot of stuff when you're kinda exploring Utah... really kinda like all over but mostly kinda southern Utah. Definitely kinda worth watching.
