Utah State Parks Along I-15

History, Camping, Hiking and Boating

Utah State Parks have a richness in ecological diversity that is unmatched. The rustic terrain has an unparalleled beauty that will help you fall in love with the state. When it comes to state parks Utah shines.

My family enjoyed visiting Utah and have put the state on our "must return" list. The terrain in Utah is very different from where we lived in North Carolina. We enjoyed exploring and getting to see the state. Of course, a stop at a Utah State Park is a must. It gave us a chance to stretch our legs and recharge before resuming our trip.

Some parks are off of the beaten path. For those with the time to explore they are probably worth the drive. If you only have a little time a state park stop can be added to your existing summer vacation plans.

Utah State Parks offer live webcams and still cameras for some locations. To view one of the participating spots click here. You'll see breathtaking up to the minute conditions and scenery.
