DISCOVERING UTAH By Phil Clark - Mad about Travel Mention Utah and images of mountains, prairies and snow come to mind but we discovered it is so much more! Yes, Salt Lake City has the majestic Salt Lake Temple and 15 awesome ski resorts, but the state also offers incredible scenery, diverse history, fantastic food and some of the most epic landscapes I’ve ever experienced. Our trip commenced in late March at the end of the ski season and we planned some mountain biking, hiking as well as a bit of skiing (if we were lucky to get enough snow). It turned out to be one of the best snow years in history, so we made the most of the conditions by heading up to Park City for our first day. Formerly two separate ski resorts (Park City Mountain and The Canyons) which were linked by a gondola in 2015 making the largest resort in The USA at 2954 hectares. Park City Mountain has a mix of long cruisers on the Park City Village side and steep fall line skiing on The Canyons Village side. Stunning chalets and mountain mansions line the sides of the runs giving us a clue of where the beautiful people live. The resorts are well laid out and navigation around this huge resort is incredibly intuitive At the end of the day, we headed off on the three hour drive down to Bryce Canyon. This geological marvel is the start of a series of giant steps which trail from Bryce Canyon to the Grand Canyon and encompass, several National parks including Bryce Canyon, The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Zion. We spent a week exploring the national parks in this area. On the morning of day two of our trip we woke up to fresh pristine snow. As we drove into Bryce Canyon, we were wondering what this staircase thing was all about. Then it hit us, as we walked up to the edge of the first precipice the earth dropped away from us in a series of pink pinnacles and spires. Like a cathedral the snow-covered landscape had a quiet grandeur.
