38 Best Stops Between the Monument Valley and Yellowstone National Park (2024)

1 list

Nice place. Paved roads all the way with clear signage to get you there. Concrete path to the first overlook is wheelchair safe. After that the 2 mile loop walk along the canyon rim is easy with most on bedrock then a short trip into the canyon and back up the other side is fun with narrow spots to keep your interest. Trail is marked well with signs and the free map explains it all well.Beautiful ruins all over in easy and close view.

They had a great little visitor center.Lots of walkable trails spread throughout the park.A little off the beaten path. Which is part of the draw and allure of the place. We enjoyed the drive in and out as there is soo much to see. Roads were good. The views awesome.

The Ancestral Puebloans did not always build cliff dwellings. The areas around Cortez, CO are evidence of the large amount of flat land farming done by the Ancients in this region. The exact purpose of towers at Hovenweep is unknown. They stand as a memorial to a past civilization.

It’s a nice place to visit. We ended up here because the Mesa Verde roads were closed due to snow.Since it rained the day before, it was recommend to not complete the whole loop due to possible mud. The trail itself was not difficult at all and not very muddy.

Incredible site with a large number of differenly-shaped ruins perched on and around the rim of a horseshoe canyon. Beautifully photogenic.

Totally worth the visit. Out of the way but awesome. There is a not too hard of a hike starting right at the visitors center. Two miles. Great views. There are other trails that are more remote. Gets very sunny and hot so prepare for that and bring a lot of water. Definitely go there if you have the time and the Lowry House.

You can enter with a national parks pass. It’s not a very crowded place. I arrived after the visitors center was closed but there is a visitors center with a gift shop. The trails are well-marked and there is an fairly easy 2 mile hike but it involves going down steep stairs/steps through.

Well worth the journey to get here. Helpful visitor centre, easy paved route to the overview. A well laid out trail around the site, a helpful trail guide brings the towers to life. The trail is easy although often over large rocks. Towards the end it descends steeply into the canyon and then steep uphill to the end of the trail.

Off the beaten path and totally worth the trip. Very few tourists but an amazing visitor center with friendly rangers. The two mile walking path is well maintained and goes near all the ruins. I considered it moderately difficult due to the part that goes into the valley. You could do an out and back to avoid that section and still see everything.

Didn't know what to expect after spending yesterday at Mesa Verde. Quite the drive to get to Hovenweep, but it was well worth it. Did the 2 mile loop hike from the visitor center and thoroughly enjoyed the hike and the visitor center. A very nice day trip.

Hovenweep is a great but out of the way place to view prehistoric dwellings from about 800 years ago. A relatively flat loop trail takes you around a small ravine with remains of numerous buildings. The visitor center was closed when we visited on a Tuesday and it seems that the days it is open varies. The restrooms were open and they were nice with flush toilets and sinks with soap and water. Brochures and trail maps were available to guide your walk.

Good for a day trip or for very lightly visited overnight backpacking trails to other Native American sites in the area. The loop can be done by almost anyone. I would avoid the section that goes into the canyon for anyone who has trouble with up and down. You can go around it.One of the best National Monument Visitor Centers/ Campsites I’ve been to. There are places to tent camp and for RV’s. I don’t think there are RV hookups. Bathroom is super clean. No showers. Drinking water at the campground but there’s a 5 gallon limit.Rolled in on at 7pm Saturday night in late May and there were multiple campsites open. Campsites have a beautiful canopy, fire pit, sandy area for tents, and views of the mountains.Rangers were super nice. Didn’t pay for my campsite because I didn’t have cash and they helped me pay inside the visitor center.

A little gem of a park in the middle of nowhere Utah. A fantastic walking trail around and through a small canyon full of unique tower structures. Dogs are welcome on the trails. Nice little visitor center with shaded picnic areas. The Campground has awesome panoramic views of Sleeping Ute mountain. Sunsets are awesome! Flush toilets and some pull through sites.be disappointed.

Southeast Utah is pure magic! And this park and museum just continues to add to the magic. We went last Sunday and were basically the only people there. Dogs on leash are welcome! The museum is overflowing with history, art, artifacts, and pottery. A person could spend hours wandering this museum! Outside, there are sculptures, a giant kiva with extensive historical reads. The views go on forever. There is an entrance, but it's worth every dime! Go to Edge of the Cedars State Park!

The level of archeological detail and quality of artifacts were completely unexpected. The photo exhibit on pictographs and petroglyphs were amazing and made you feel you were staring at the actual sites. Many people passed right by the images barely glancing but if you take a moment to read descriptions you’ll be immersed in these ancient cultures.It was only $5 for an adult but I’d have paid much more if I knew what was inside. The pottery was so beautiful! Read about the discoveries of pieces by hikers and amateur archeologists and their stories to protect these artifacts from scavengers.The architectural ruins in the back are nice but the highlight here is the contents of the museum. The staff was super friendly as well! Also the gift shop is thoughtfully stocked and reasonably in priced.

One of our stops on our Southern Utah Trip. Definitely a highlight! The ruins are great but the museum is amazing! Well worth the time to visit, if you are interested in ancient Indian artifacts. Staff was very helpful and nice. Had a Kiva you could climb into. The displays were clean, well maintained, and self explanatory. The displays are much better than those at some of the national parks that I have been too.

This is where you should start your visit to the area. It kind of puts everything in perspective from an historical point of view. The exhibits are some of the best Native American artefacts I have seen in the US... really a must-see. There is a 15 minute video which I would suggest is your starting point if you visit here. The contemporary artwork on display is also brilliant. The ruins outside are fascinating and there is a very fairly priced gift shop inside. Well done guys!

An awesome complex of extensive Pueblo dwellings containing Kivas and many other structures. Most impressive and a must see. with extensive information provided outlining how the Pueblo advanced and improved their building techniques over several centuries. Unlike many of the other sites at Mess Verde you can walk around up close to these buildings.

Great museum if you're paying though the area. Only takes an hour or two to see everything and there is so much interesting history you won't be disappointed.

This was a great stop! I only had an hour and wish I would’ve had more time because I felt like I had to rush through. There is a 15 minute video at the start and then there is art and historical artifacts. Once you go outside you can see some of the ruins. It is $5 per ticket. The gift shop had great souvenirs.

Stopped for the night while on an adventure to the 4 corners and found this place while exploring the area. It's absolutely amazing place where the the native Americans have made their homeland for thousands of years.. I felt very privileged to have visited this place and given a glimpse of their way of life.. they live as one with the land and we could all take notes and learn from their way of life and knowledge. I definitely recommend stopping by and checking it out for yourself..

Great introduction to the pueblos & other artifact sites in the area. I'd recommend coming here first before exploring other southern Utah, northern Arizona & New Mexico parks. The overview really helps set the stage for your other visits.

Highly recommend. The ruins at the museum are interesting and the museum is outstanding! Well worth your time to visit, if you are interested in ancient Indian artifacts. The staff was nice and helpful. The displays were clean, well maintained, and self explanatory. The displays are much better than those at some of the national parks that I have been to.

This is a real hidden gem! You can get up close with the ruins - even climb down into the kiva. On a holiday weekend, very few other people were around. Amazing to have that kind of experience without having to rub elbows with other people.The museum has an extensive collection of pottery, tools, etc. Wide range of displays to check out. There's also a lot of great artwork on the premises - sculptures and paintings.

You must stop here if you are visiting the historic sites in the area. The rich education you receive is well worth it. Plus, there are guides and rescources to help you make the most of tour trio, navigate the sites respectfully, and better understand what you're looking at.The opportunity to see so many pieces of ancient relecs was breathtaking. The opportunity to see and also enter a ruin feels very sacred. We did go outside but I didn't feel comfortable going inside out of respect for the folks who once called this place home.1000% recommend!Also, they have books with images and explanations of the petroglyphs that are on the walls of the museum. Most of these were lost when the US allowed the site of now Lake Mead to become flooded with water, so they aren't visible anymore. The book is at the counter and free to take. It starts your journey near the room for the short video screening, which we also recommend.Have the best time and plan a few hours or full day! There is THAT much to look at.

Absolutely spectacular museum,extremely well done. If you have any interest in ancient Native Americans a must stop.

Probably my favorite part of Canyonlands, the Needles has incredible hiking and views. There are parts of Canyonlands that are so vast that my brain can't fully take it all in. The Needles are up-close and personal and still a bit mind bending. If you can only spend time in one section of the park, I recommend it be this one.

We did not get to fully explore this park but the views of the canyons were incredible! It does get very dusty and windy at the top so keep that in mind!I would go back and explore the Needles when we have a full extra day.

We visited the Islands in the Sky region and the views were beautiful, especially at the Grand View Overlook at the end.There are many hiking opportunities, which we were unable to do this time, as well as 4x4 roads which we didn't attempt.We went in March, which seems a good time as the park was less crowded but the weather was still nice if a little cool

Absolutely stunning piece of planet earth. Unlike many National parks that tend to be overcrowded, this park is massive and people are dispersed so you don’t really see anyone else. We drove White Rim Road during Thanksgiving (spent two nights on the trail) and thoroughly enjoyed everything about the trip. I highly recommend White Rim Road in Canyonlands National Park and can’t wait to do it again.

Okay well this is our first visit to this amazing and beautiful park. The staff at the visitor center is amazing and very helpful. They have a water place inside to fill up water. We stayed at the willow flat campground which is very nice and very close to a lot of different hikes. The view points around the park are amazing that are hard really get you to some amazing sites.

Canyonlands' breathtaking vistas and intricate rock formations paint an awe-inspiring masterpiece of nature's artistry. The play of sunlight across its rugged terrain creates a captivating symphony of colors, showcasing the ancient geological history etched into every canyon wall.

This national park was one of my favorites while on our small road trip. This reminded me so much of the Grand Canyon, but less busy. We went there on a Friday and it was quiet. We were able to do quite a few trails with ease. Bring water, it’s hot with little to no shade.

This park is unreal! The Visitors Center has the most amazing canyon view just across from the parking and it only gets better from there. They have a very creative, interactive display on the local geology in the Visitors Center. I visited in early November and I had no issues with crowds or parking. The weather and sights were gorgeous! I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area.

One of the most epic things I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend white rim trail; less busy than grand view and offers a slightly different lanscape. Also— cleanest outhouse I’ve ever used at white rim trail.

this place was awesome! The views and viewing access are outstanding. The park is clean and well maintained... lots of restrooms throughout the park. The hiking trails are really fun. I highly recommend seeing the Canyons

Underrated national park. The north and the south sides are not connected. Camp facilities are good. This park has less visitors, so you can enjoy the quietness in most of the points. Some points do require some serious hiking. My favorite point is the Upheaval dome.

Amazing Park. Recommend hiking Mesa Arch very first thing in the morning (6/7am) so you get the view all to yourself. I would then recommend hiking Upheaval Dome (do bring water). Then to top it off, drive to the grand view point for an overlook and a pretty easy flat platform stroll.

Plan ahead for some driving time. There was a wait to enter, about 30 minutes, but it's totally worth it.Breathtaking views, lots of hiking trails. I definitely recommend a visit.It did NOT require an advance booking like Arches did. Arches required it, even though the website said it didn't when we checked. For Arches,I recommend calling and confirming the day before so you can book a time.

I was only able to do the island in the sky section which was really cool. You can see all the trails in the canyon for 4wd cars. Not my favorite national park but still pretty amazing.

A beautiful, sweltering hot park in the summer. We visited 2/3 of the districts, Island in the Sky and Needles. In Needles, we did the 6 mile Chesler Park hike to the viewpoint in brutal 100 degree heat before turning around. We did not complete the whole 10 mile loop. If you do decide to hike here in the summer, bring an umbrella for shade and a ton of water. There are several crevices in the park that provide shade but the umbrella was essential when hiking long stretches without any rock formations nearby. Other notable hikes in this district include Cave Spring Trail and Pothole Point. In Island in the Sky, the highlight was Mesa Arch at sunrise and the Grand View Point Overlook hike. Other hikes we did included Upheaval Dome, Whale Rock and a bunch of short overlook hikes. Get a head start if you’re hiking in summer to beat the heat. Overall this is a beautiful and vast park. Although they look extremely close, the driving time between these two districts is over 2 hours.

Very pretty park, the views are amazing. I’d recommend driving all the road and stopping at the viewpoints and doing the short hikes if you only have a day there. I’d love to come back and explore some of the longer 4wd trails as well. Wasn’t expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised with how beautiful the park was. There was no line to get in, while arches NP had 45 min wait and timed entry just to get in. Canyonlands NP is definitely worth the visit.

Beautiful and scenic at every stop. It was surprisingly busy on a Friday but we eventually found parking at each viewpoint . I haven’t been to the Grand Canyon in years but this was equally impressive in my opinion. The vistas were stunning and the way the scenery changed at each turn was amazing. As usual the photos don’t do Justice to the size and depth of the area.

Canyonlands was amazing! Absolutely love the snow capped La Sal Mountains in the distance. Could've spent days seeing every trail but, again no dogs allowed on trails. We had high winds and storm heading in as we were heading out. Perfect timing to start back home.

Canyonlands National ParkVisited on : weekendLast weekend, I ventured into Canyonlands National Park, where gusty winds accompanied stunning views. Despite the weather, the park's panoramic vistas of towering rock formations and vast canyons were awe-inspiring. While one day sufficed for sightseeing without extensive hiking, be prepared for the wind. Canyonlands is a must-visit for nature lovers seeking unforgettable scenery.

Incredible park and underrated in my opinion. Went in not knowing a ton about it and was blown away by the canyon vistas. Parts of the park are super remote and tougher to reach so prepare in advance. Don’t go on icy switchbacks too quickly because we saw a car get stranded on the way down into the canyon. Off season was otherwise a great time to visit with very little crowds - felt like we had the park to ourselves.

The canyon is something else, the views are amazing. Went to that National Park as Arches had an unreserved time slot for 4pm unless previously purchased a ticket in advance. Canyonlands did not disappoint, Happy it worked out that way.

This is an amazing national park - vast! Truly, the breadth of it is breathtaking!Try to catch the sunset at Grand View point overlook. I’d recommend doing the in-and-out hike. The views are amazing at the end of the hike. The green river overlook is gorgeous too! We didn’t do the mesa arch since we’d seen a lot of arches that morning.The park actually has two parts - one is along the road of Island in the sky visitor center. The other one is by the needles visitor center(closed during winter).

The view is incredible, the sunsets and sunrises are mesmerizing. But the sky at night... I was camping and I woke up at like 3am, I just glanced outside all sleepy. A sky full of stars like you've never experienced before.

Definitely a must. So beautiful. So much to do. You could spend a few hours or days here! The more time the better! Clean. Lots of cows around. I went in the first week of spring so not many other animals seen.

A cute tourist stop. There was something for everyone, but the best was the tour of the Hole in the Rock house ($6.00). It was created by an eccentric but talented couple that had a vision and went about making it a reality. Their craftsmanship and ingenuity are truly admirable. There was a petting zoo ($4.75), gift shop, trading post and General Store. There were lots of quirky items scattered around the property to add to the whimsy. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

Fun roadside attraction with so much to see. The animals were fun to feed, and the camel gave you a kiss. It did cost extra to get a bucket of food to feed the animals, but fun nonetheless. We did go on the tour of the inside on the homestead where you can not take pictures. It was a great short tour, and the other displays, zoo, and gift shops were fun as well. This really is a fun stop. You do have to pay for the tour inside the home, but it was fun and cool to see.

This is such a great little place. We had driven by several times but just this Monday we decided to stop and it's now one of my favorite places because of the beautiful animals they have at the zoo. It's a small fee to go visit the animals and I highly recommend it, they have a camel, racoon and some insanely cute alpacas. They have nice jewelry as well.

Came here as a kid and wanted to check it out as an adult. Stopped by to check out the store (didn't have time for the tour, which I'm sure is pretty cool). Lots of fun items, but I was looking for more merchandise with "Hole 'N' The Rock" on it as coming here as a child was a fond memory, but they didn't have a whole lot. I suggested they get shot glasses with it, a deck of cards and other common collectibles that tourists would like to have in memory of it. They did have a mug with the actual name on it so I bought 2. But there was lots of jewelry, some cool hunting knives, and other things.They also have a petting zoo, and another gift shop (that was somewhat low on stock of items [mostly Native American themed]) and a separate quick mart.If your passing by or are in the area I'd suggest stopping by. I did lose cell reception in this area so just be aware your carrier might not work here & plan ahead.

I really enjoyed seeing the lovely hand-carved cave home, and the site also has a few stores with snacks and knickknacks. The petting zoo is fun for kiddos but not wildly exotic. My only complaint was how they rush you through the tour and don't allow any photos (presumably to keep you going speedily). It's a 15-minute tour and we felt like the guide whittled that down to get us out.

This was an interesting experience. The attendants were super friendly and accommodating. The story is very interesting and if you like the odd factor you are going to dig the taxidermy and the decor. I am glad I experienced this. I recommend you go at least once.

I love roadside attractions and this one is a gem! The home is unique and has a great story to go along. The outside area is great for kids of all ages and you might just find a zoo tucked in somewhere. All in all, 2 thumbs up!

Friendly, helpful staff, cool collection of bumper stickers, pins, photos,souvenirs. There's also a petting zoo & tours. Kids can pose on the giant jeep. I didn't tour, pet animals or pose on the jeep (I did take a pic of mine for "bragging rights" tho', 😁😎). But I did enjoy a cold juice & the beautiful scenery.

This place is a must to check out if your in the area.. Absolutely amazing tour through a home that was carved out of a massive rock.. unfortunately there was no picture or video taking inside.. However there are lots of great things to photograph outside..definitely recommend stopping by and talking the tour.. glad I did

Just stopped to go to the bathroom which is a walk... into the area... follow the signs. I guess they offer tours of the place but I don't know if you have to sign up ahead of time or right then.The holes in the rock is actually filled with houses. Loved looking at alot of the different oddities that are there. Really love the FDR carving in the rock, giant lizard on the side of the rock and Mater!

Pretty cool place , very unique lots of random stuff scattered about. U can tour the home inside the rock , go to the petting zoo or browse the gift shop. Good for an hour or two.

Nice stop over point with good souvenir shops and a mini zoo (no patting)They charge you if you wanna get into the zoo and if you wanna feed the animals it is 5 for a small bucket and 10 for a big oneThe other side was a 12 mins tour to the caveI will consider this place a good stop if you have kids

Fun stop along Hwy 191!We spent a bit of time checking out the displays. There are a lot of very creative, clever ones!Be sure to check out the unique home in the rock.The restrooms were clean.

This is such a cool place. Went on the tour was very interesting. So worth the stop. Was a good time.

Pretty cool. I wanted to go back and look around since it was just us on the tour but the guide wouldn’t let me. She kept saying she’d give us a chance to look around but we didn’t get too.

We've driven past a few times & never had time to stop. I'm so glad we did! Trading Post, General Store, Petting Zoo, and even have guided tours! Clean restrooms, lots of nostalgic, novel signs and decor. Fun stop! Highly recommend!

We had a good experience. What a unique story they tell. And it's a must stop if you get the chance. They have a sparce gift shop due to limited availability on products, so if your lucky enough to see that special something gravity while you can. Very cool place and great for all ages. Clean bathrooms and polite staff.

Why haven't you been here yet? What an awesome place! Take the tour and see how real homesteaders made it work in the desert. Enjoy the zoo and feed the animals (including getting a camel kiss). Laugh at the dad joke signs everywhere, including a view of the illusive Bigfoot. By far, the highlight is the actual living quarters. It does take a minimal fee to tour, but the price is worth the admission just to admire the work of a husband and wife who lived a dream. Not interested in a tour??? Well, at least stop and walk the gift shop for a taste of the hollowed out mountain. I'm certain you'll be amazed at the talent this creation took. It's one of the greatest roadside attractions I could recommend.

A great stop and so worth the 20 $ entry fee. I did the east west rim trail which is a loop during the sunset and it was very good. Start with the west rim. The trail over a long weekend was relatively empty and peaceful, probably due to the cloud coverage. The trail has some nice look out points which are worth stopping and spending a while. I would say it is family friendly and an easy trail with barely much elevation gain but do water.

If you go to Moab, go to Dead Horse Point State Park! This place is absolutely stunning. Arches is great and so is Canyon Lands, but we almost missed Dead Horse Point thinking it wouldn't be as good... We were dead wrong. This place is something else. We went at sunset and it took our breath away.Our kids were able to walk around albeit with a death grip on their hands (very steep drop-offs).All in all, don't miss this place. It was probably our favorite stop in the area.

Spared a few hours on a long road trip to visit.And it was worthwhile.Great views over the Mesa. Interesting colours and shadows. The trail walks are suitably 'dangerous' near the cliff edges so watch out.The Schaefer trail looked good - just too little time.

The silence here is deafening! At any time the view is stunning; sunset (it faces west) and stargazing are my favorites, but sunrise and midday are incredible as well.Trails are a bit rocky, but plenty of stable ground for those a bit unsteady on their feet or who need walking aids. Bathrooms are clean, lots of natural and artificial seating available with great lookout points.

Many people come here to share the maze of red rocks and canyons. They look like the Grand Canyon only in a smaller way. The trails along the rim are short, pleasant and extremely charming, and at the same time it is extremely quiet and you can hear the wind and the birds fly. I would highly recommend

Stunning views and a great place. The visitor shop is set up nicely, and the prices are fair. There are several mountain biking trails along the drive in. Entrance is $20 and there are lots of options for hiking or biking. The scenery is well worth the price

Outstanding Hidden Gem! This park was awesome! Dead Horse Point canyon views rival any in Canyonlands and Arches. The park is well kept with bathrooms trails, picnic spots and gift shop. What a great surprise.

This is a beautiful Utah state park. We drove our RV up here to practice since it's only 1.5 hours from home. We didn't have any problems parking at the Visitor's Center or the overlook at the end. The views are gorgeous and the edge's are very scary. You could literally fall from many parts of the trails, so pay attention! :-) Restrooms were in great shape - see photos.

What an absolutely amazing experience and park WOW! This is an absolute must see experience for everyone, especially families. The views are just simply beautiful and amazing. Stunning views from approximately 7,000 feet make for stunning pictures that you will never forget

Worth the stop even if you’re just passing through. The view reminded me of a smaller Grand Canyon, which seems odd to say considering how wide and deep the canyon still is.The main overlook has a nice covered area that offers lots of shade as you take in the views. And the short path leading to it is paved for easy access.Make sure you stop by the visitors center and checkout the dinosaur footprint out front. One of the clearest foist prints I’ve seen.

Beautiful park with large sites in a quiet area. Despite us arriving on the sage weekend as hundreds of motorcycles - attending the Thunder Valley Rally - we’re still enjoyed the park. Close to Cottonwood’s restaurants, grocery stores and Sedonas.Camp host was exceptional. Bathrooms were pristine.

Really nice park. Great place to just come and relax, and be one with nature. The park design is very reminiscant of Frank Lloyd Wright type architectural design. Amazing views of the Colorado River and back side views of the canyons in Canyonland National Park.

It was a 40 min scenic drive from arches national park. We did the west rim trail after a snow storm and loved hiking in 2-3” soft and fluffy snow. A few places were slippery but overall wonderful hike. Kids loved it.

Gorgeos views all around! Dog friendly, great alternative to the National Parks if you want to hike with your dog. Dogs are not allowed in the visitor center though.

I knew we will regret if we didn't stop by on our way from Canyonlands. Always curious why this is similar to Horseshoe Bend. Honestly, I find the view here more interesting. We actually stayed here longer than previous overlooks we visited!

A neighbor of Canyonlands with views of some of the canyons from that park. Great photo-ops and overlooks and not too crowded at all. $20 to get in but worth it imo.

Beautiful state park with amazing views of the river snaking through the canyon. Nice visitor center and friendly employees. Plenty of areas to see the view without a big crowd. Worth a visit!

I had the privilege of visiting this park as part of a cycling tour out of Moab. I had heard about it before so I was excited to experience it. I wasn’t able to spend much time there but what I did get to experience was beautiful! I’ll definitely do more exploring here if I find myself in the area again.

This Park is so well attended that it looks like a National Park. Very nice people working there. Interesting historical events you can see down part of the visitor center.

Gorgeous state park that shouldn't be missed if you are in the area. There are several trails, lookout points, and incredible views. There's informative placards along the trails, and it's a beautiful place to spend the day . It's also dog friendly. Please leash your pups and clean up after them. Hiking the east rim and west rim trails together, make a great, beautiful loop trail.

Super great experience. Had the luxury of being toured by the park rangers along with the clients I was chauffeuring. The park rangers are smart and very knowledgeable on the surroundings and the gift shop was amazing

Beautiful vistas and amazing scenic views! Lots of cut outs for jumping out of the car and getting some great pictures and making memories!

Awesome trail! Took our four runner up it, 3 inch lift, basically stock. Most parts of the trail were easy to traverse, we didn't make it up hells gate, maybe next time! Ended up joining up with a bunch of guys from Wisconsin, sorry friendly, definitely more fun being with a group, and much safer!

Best trail we’ve run to date. Every bit as challenging as the ratings say, but soooo much fun. Very manageable if you want to make it easy (moderately) and insanely difficult if you’re up for it. Took us nearly six hours because we stopped a lot to look around.

Amazing views and it was an adrenaline rush from start to finish! We rented 2 seater stock RZR 1000s and they were great on this trail. We didn’t do the more difficult obstacles like hells gate or the escalator. The RZR did fine with Mickeys hot tub though. Hells Revenge and Poison Spider Mesa were our two favorite off road trails in Moab.

Also had a great time here with my 54 Willys. Thought my son was trying to collect some insurance money but I lived so I guess not. First time off roading and it was a great experience.

Fun trail to run, we bypassed some of the obstacles like Mickey’s hot tub and Hell’s gate, probably will come back to run those when we are with a group, definitely recommend this trail!

One of my favorite trails in Moab. Lots of obstacles, some easy, some hard, some with a pucker factor of 10! Great place to test your skills - and don't forget to try Hell's Gate and the escalator!

Wow, this trail can be tough, not all parts are for a stock vehicle, be careful not to end up on a one way through an area that is beyond your skill level or you could roll your vehicle! Great trail with terrain different than other parts of the US!!!

I have run this trail every year for the last decade, it's always the first trail i hit when getting to town, and the first place i take new visitors. spectacular views, some challenges, but everything has a bypass. this is a trail not to miss.

This trail has it all, sand, slick rock, train, ladder, chain and a rock scramble and views. Took us about 3 hours. I have limited mobility so I'm a bit slower. I recommend poles if you struggle with balance. Definitely bring traction gear on icy days. Bring plenty of water.The chain has foot holes and most people scaled it easily. Ladder is bolted and had about 6 runs. Wasn't too bad. The angles slick rock was touch but take your time.Hiked on a holiday week in the winter started at 2 and made it down before sunset.The arch can be viewed without going up the chain area or ladder. It's worth it tho to keep going.Vault toilets in the lot and overflow parking if needed.

This trail was very easy to get to. I went right after I got done with the Parriott Mesa Trail. It was towards the evening by the time I got there. Luckily other hikers were there so I didn’t feel quite alone. The views all the way to the arch is beyond beautiful. There were some rock formations that resemble an elephant drinking water from the ground. The Arch is so beautiful. It was even more beautiful if you go during sunsets hours. The sunset behind the Arch looks like a painting. I took time to take pictures and just enjoy the view. It got dark on the way back to the car, but there were a group of us heading back by that time, so we guided each other until we all got to our car. I had a great time hiking this trail!

What a great hike up to Corona Arch. Its about 45 minutes each way and not a tough climb. Good shoes are necessary though as there is a lot of walking along side slopes. The view is certainly worth the effort. Got to see the train going by on our way out and then went to the campground across the road to have lunch along the river.

Great hike fairly easy hike. Went early and saw very few people out. There are great views and lots to see on this hike. The arches are definitely awesome to see. Definitely wouldn't bring a dog as there are some steep parts to go up and a ladder

Moderate hike to some cool arches outside of the national park. Incline at the beginning evens out. No shade, take plenty of water. Requires use of chains to climb. Not as intimidating as it sounds. Also ladder to climb to continue to the arch. Can choose not to climb and still see the arches and enjoy them from a distance

Not only the arch is spectacular but the scenery along the way is beautiful. The upward hike isn't very hard or tiring. We saw a good number of kids and dogs. There's a parking lot right at the trail head and if that's full, there's another one across the road. It took me and my two kids a little over one hour to reach the arch in a very leisurely hike and you can actually see it from afar around half way.

Not too strenuous or long, but packed with enough adventure and steep parts to keep it exciting for kids. Corona Arch is somewhat unique in that you can travel under, around and even on top of the arch if you follow the carved steps behind and to the right.The Pinto Arch side trail is optional but definitely recommended as it provides stunning views of the canyon and Pinto is a fun arch to climb in and around.Bowtie Arch can't be missed as it is right next to Corona Arch, but the giant king of the show is definitely the Corona.The sense of scale as you approach becomes more and more spectacular, the rope climb, ladder and well marked trail make the difficult parts achievable for kids but clearly tough for dogs!It is almost all south facing with none to very little shade, so plan accordingly. Great three hour family adventure for us and our kids ages 7-12, not as long or as uphill as Delicate Arch plus the price (free) is right!Super stinky non-plumbing bathrooms at the trailhead, but well-maintained and stocked when we were there.

Corona Arch was our favorite hike while in Moab. It has some scary spots but totally doable. I would definitely do this hike again. The scenery was amazing. We also did Pinto Arch which was pretty cool but nothing like Corona Arch. Do this hike if you can you will not regret it.

Best hike I've ever gone on. We were passing through from Denver on the way to SLC and only had an hour or two to stay to see one of the arches. This one was perfect, free, short hike, and mostly empty from other people. The GPS took us to the wrong location but if you just keep driving down the paved road you'll eventually see the sign for corona arch. I had read the reviews prior about it being an easy and flat hike. This might be true for experienced hikers, but as someone who is from the city in TX where there is not even the slightest of hills, pure flat groundeverywhere, this hike definitely left me winded lol. Its steep, marked with green paint marks on the ground, make sure to wear proper shoes with grip, and bring enough water. Its a little difficult if you're not an active person or not used to the slightest of slopes. But I would 100% recommend trying it out if you're able to. Just pace yourself and take breaks when needed. We passed a few other hikers but besides that when we got to the arch it was completely empty. Its a really incredible feeling being up there in the vastness of nature with no one around. Winds did pick up every now and then so watch out for that. We went around 7-8pm and it was an incredible view starting to see the sunset

Most beautiful serene place! This is hands down inevitably of the most beautiful hikes I have ever done!!!!!! We went very early to avoid a large crowd fathers Day weekend on a Saturday morning, and we were pleased to see maybe one or two other couples here. It was very quiet, and we were able see the arch before the sun completely came overhead. So we got great views and got to explore more than most without a lot of noisy hikers. I will say a lot of people brought dogs along, and I wouldn't advise it. This trail is moderate for the most part, but the last 1/4 mile is not for animals.I can't wait to come back in the fall when the weather is different, overall a wonderful hike!!!!!!!!

Huge! A really awesome hike. Trail is well marked with paint. There is one really steep spot where you have to pull yourself up with a chain, but it’s not long at all (10-20 feet??). The arch is awesome!! Beautiful overlooks and another option for a cool hike that breaks off the trail.

I’ve completed this trail at least once a year for the past 5 years. One of the best arch hikes outside Arches NP that’s worth repeating. It does get crowded on weekends, but you can beat the crowd if you go during the week or during non-peak hours. We hiked this on a Monday right before sunset & had the whole trail to ourselves.As long as your dog is comfortable with heights & light scrambling, you can go around the ladder & chained section with them. Wear grippy shoes to help with sloped areas.

This is a very popular hike. It’s well maintained and has plenty of parking. Perfect for families. Our groups age ranged from 3-71. Out and back 3 miler. Dog friendly.

This review is for Corona & Bowtie Arch Via Corona Arch Trail which was a ~2.3 miles round trip that took ~1.5 hours to complete.A little crowded at the arches. Easy to get lost unless you follow the turquoise paint on the ground. There was an incline area with chains and another with a ladder; not difficult to hike through. Overall, impressive views of the arches!Short video of the hike for those interested! https://youtu.be/FzhII_st9t4

Gorgeous!!! Moderately traveled and I saw all ages. If you don’t like heights this is not for you. You do have to use a chain to climb up a small portion and there are steps etched into the rock then a small around 5’ ladder. It’s hot out so bring water! They had a trail ambassador on site with water bottles, water and electrolytes. Super impressed!!

Excellent trail to hike. Slightly difficult but well worth it. The main attraction (Corona Arch) makes this hike worth it all by itself. But there are also a number of other interesting rock formations along the way. There is one mountain that is right where the path splits between Pinto Arch and Corona Arch, I think they should call it Grimlock mountain.

Super great trail, fairly well marked, gorgeous arch. Please don't bring dogs , as the two dogs I saw were resistant to climbing the 85° steep, 15', chained, foothold climbing section.

Pretty amazing to have access to an auto museum on the resort property. One that has such cool and rare cars. The caretaker was informative and super helpful.

Beautiful experience nice and professional employees treated us and educated us with respect and knowledge. Best place to stay at too !

NOTE: This museum has closed. The cars were sold at auction. It was a magnificent collection - but it is no more. I was there on the LAST DAY before it closed. Took the pictures shown here.

We visit about once a year and we notice something new each time. The cars are beautifully & creatively displayed in themed rooms. Even a non-enthusiast can appreciate the artistic qualities and beauty of these classics. Never crowded. Clean rest rooms. Wonderful meals served at the on-site Paradox Grille.

Outstanding! Educational and impressive! It might be free if you're staying at the resort, but it was $15/pp if you weren't. A great collection! We were a little bummed that the Duesenberg car wasn't there; we heard it was getting a new radiator. The museum said all the cars were drivable. Great stop in some beautiful canyons!

Beautiful we'll laid out museum. A lot of history in this magnificent display, and many people should see where all cars of today originated from. Pure perfection, and no flaws on any vehicle in this museum. I had many favorites within these walls. The admission was free for guests staying at the property, but the fee for non guests is very reasonable. This is a well sought out collection that all must see at least once on their lifetime. I give another 👍👍 A+!

A great museum with top notch cars! Definitely worth the $15 admission price, kids are free and seniors/vets are $10. There's more than one "One of a Kind" cars on display.

As many have mentioned, this is well worth a visit beautiful day trip to te Paradox valley from Junction, Moab or Montrose. Even if you’re not a “car guy” it’s worth a visit. Beautiful works of art. Also the canyons in this area are beautiful. Good and only restaurant at the resort. Tesla charging stations that are available to other EVs if you have an adapter.

Gorgeous. Spent half a day there on our family road trip out west. Definitely hope to make it back and spend more time. They do timed entry for an hour window. We were 6-7am, and at 6:36 we pulled right up to the entrance booth no waiting. By the time we left between 11 and noon, the lines were really long. Daughter participated in a ranger led program at the visitor center and loved learning about the grasshopper mouse.

Arches National Park, located in Utah, is renowned for its over 2,000 natural sandstone arches, stunning red rock formations, and diverse landscapes. It's a photographer's paradise with vibrant colors, and it offers a range of outdoor activities, including hiking and rock climbing. While some iconic arches are easily accessible, the park also provides opportunities for adventure and exploration. Don't forget to visit during sunrise or sunset for the best photo opportunities.

Better than expected. Great paved roads with lots of turnouts for taking photos all through the park. Lots and lots of different rock formations and things to see. Plan about 3 hours to drive through and see the whole park with some stops, but more time if you want to hike up to several of the rocks to get closer or explore more. Nice visitor center explaining a lot about the formations.

Natural wonders! I really enjoyed 2 visits to the Arches park. The sites are breathtaking. I enjoyed the giant rock cliffs and formations and balanced rock as much or more than the incredible arches themselves. To stand back and see God's handiwork is amazing. The restrooms leave a lot to be desired and you should use one any chance you get. Great visitor center.

What a beautiful National Park!! It was busy both days that we went, but that is expected. Many viewpoints or arches are just a short walk from the parking lot. This is a very family-friendly park because of the easy access. The park and restrooms were immaculate. We got to see several arches/viewpoints within few hours of being in the park.

Absolutely gorgeous landscape. There are tons of hikes to do, from super easy, to challenging. It’s a landscape photographer’s dream. I’d recommend going during the month of February, as it’s better hiking temps and way less crowded. I was able to get pics of every arch WITHOUT people in them! I’d absolutely recommend you go here if you’re into great hiking and scenery!

Amazing views! The rock formations, and Arches are absolutely beautiful. Scenic drive with several viewpoints, and trails from easy to more challenging but well worth it for the views. Restrooms available in each parking lot, and some also have picnic tables with shade. The visitor center has restrooms, gift shop, film and presentations about the park, and free filtered water faucets. Bring plenty of water, and food/snacks for the trip.

Amazing National park that you have to visit! The hikes are so fun and kid friendly. The rangers seem to love their job as they are very helpful and upbeat with any question you may have. The visitors center is a fun place as well. You get to learn more geology magic! All in all it’s an amazing breathtaking park that you won’t regret visiting!

Amazing area! Easy access for most areas. One Arch was a semi tough up hill, but so awesome! The Delicate Arch is a 2.5 to 3 hr. hike. There's other options to see that Arch though. Loved it all so much!! Was a great day!!

Simply stunning. Road tripping with our dogs, we were only able to view the sights through the car window & a few quick walks to a couple of overlooks. Well worth the hype & excitement!! They are doing timed entry October through May, so make sure you book your time. See details on their website.

We loved our visit and the trails and beauty of the park. It was fascinating to see the sculpted arches and balancing acts that defy gravity. I would highly suggest the visit and plan to return with my family to take in the scenery!

Awesome, must see National Park. Driving with short hikes works well, but next time, we will be taking one of the many available guided jeep tours to see many more arches not visible from the road. Mother nature has certainly worked her wonders here.

Wow... what a really cool park. Absolutely gorgeous rock formations line the entire park. There is some walking required and some of it is a bit technical. However there are some really good overlooks even just from the roads. Exceptionally neat place to visit.

Beautiful park. $30 ticket (car) buys you 7 days access after 4pm. Between 7a-4p you pay $2 extra to reserve a slot on the website.The rangers are friendly. The whole park is well maintained and all of the visitors were polite and respectful. In September the weather was gorgeous and the temperature wonderful. Low humidity, lots of shade options, 70s.It’s about 15 miles in and then back out on the road. Lots of scenic pull offs. Lots of hiking and even a campground option.Highly recommend if you like breathtaking beauty, camping, hiking or any of these. The restrooms were composting toilets but throughout Utah they have all been exceptionally decent with no unpleasant odors or uncleanliness. Makes the whole experience more pleasant.Recommend going outside of the reservation times. The movement of the sun makes every view change before your eyes. The shadows are dramatic and beautiful.

An amazing national park! Wonderful views, easy access, plenty of different trails and options to explore. This park is amazing part of Utah. The nations park pass is a must !! You definitely need a day at least to explore and be able to see the sunset and stars ! A just for all to come and visit !

If you're going to go to this national park, try to stay the night camping in the Devil's Garden campground. The sun rises are amazing. You can also take short hikes in nearly any direction.If you go off season, it is easy to find a spot. I expect during peak season, you had better have a reservation.

Utah is truly such a beautiful state!! Arches NP does not disappoint! February seems to be a great time to visit as it wasn’t too cold and there were not a lot of people. Give yourself a full day if not two to explore!

The view and natural landscape is outstanding. Be sure to stop in the visitor center there is a wealth of information that you don't get by just driving through and walking through popular stops. If you have a good 4 wheel drive there is some good 4x4 trails.

This is great but note that there are long hikes like delicate arch and more so if you’re children are going make sure you take a close eye on them. Otherwise I would recommend going plan about 2-4 hours here

Fantastic sights, rock formations like few places on earth. A great park. If you camp, hike or do a driving tour it is a beautiful place.

Awesome stop! Driven by without stopping too many times. It’s well worth the stop and make sure you save time to hike a bit to the different points of interest. Most all the hikes are very cool in my opinion. I look forward to exploring more next time. Highly recommend

What a beautiful place! We only hiked the balance rock trail and delicate Arch trail. But what an amazing landscape! God's handy work at its finest! Thanks for preserving such great lands! #ExploringRocksFacebook

Beautiful park. But it was a bit of a downer after finishing up at Zion and Bryce Canyon. Make sure to get there early so you’re able to get into the park.

I loved arches national park! I was there in the end of July. It was extremely hot around 115* Fahrenheit. We came back around sunset and enjoyed a slightly cooler temperature. Arches was crowded however it is large enough you can drive to many different locations and spread out away from bigger crowds. All in all 10/10 recommend. Absolutely spectacular!

Magnificent national park! This is unlike anything I've seen before. We enjoyed the ability to drive and hike at different points in the park. The visitor's center was kind of blah, but it did have some good information about the different types of rocks, wild life, and plants found in the park.

The scale of the arch is hard to imagine up until you're looking it in the face. It's so cool, and the hike is quite easy!

This is a great trail to take the family on. It would seem to be wheelchair accessible as most of the trail has been paved. I remember when the trail used to go up closer to Landscape Arch, but I can definitely understand why they have pushed the trail further back and fenced it off. Nobody seems to listen to the whole "stay on the trail" markers. Very frustrating. But overall this is a great and easy trail for anyone. Very picturesque. You can continue on the trail and see more arches from there if you'd like. There's not a lot of elevation difference so the trail stays relatively flat the whole time and makes it a good trail for kids. There is also a restroom at the trailhead.

It's a nice arch, biggest span in the park I believe. The Devil's Glen Trail leading to it is very nice. I went late in the day, and the sun was behind the arch making it very difficult to see. Better to do this hike in the morning.

Nice hike of the first part of the fill devil's garden loop. About 1.8mi to the arch and back. Trail is easy, mostly flat with some inclined areas. Winder afternoons the trail can be chilly as it gets shaded by the rock walls.Parking available but will get filled quickly in peak times. Bathroom at the trailhead.

Plan to visit the Pine Tree Arch, Tunnel Arch and the Landscape Arch. It's worth the hike and you will be amazed. The rock formation is mind blowing. It got extremely windy and we couldn't walk for like 10mins due to dust storm. Secure your hats!!

Where's the hike but take plenty of water and use sunscreen. Most of the hike is on hard surface but it plenty of ups and downs and hardly no shade and the current 100+ degrees makes it that more difficult. When you do finally make it to this famous arch there is very fine sand trail which makes the last push to see the arch in all its grandeur a bit difficult for some.

1.9 miles out and back. 252 ft elevation gain. Get here early and see the magic of the Sun. Fun hike. But don’t stop here keep going to Double O Arch.

Shortest hike to see a magnificent arch. However, the best part is the Primitive Trail. The arch is very heavy trafficked and akin to Disney with all of people; but you need to see it! After you view it, back down and go on the Primitive Trail. Stupendous views and exceptionally quiet. Best place to see the fins up close and personal.

This was amazing. I had a buddy who was here in 2007 and I sent him a picture. He says it is in the exact same shape. How could this thin piece of rock not be eroded away in this time? Simply created well. I got a great pic from the primitive trail. Just walk down a bit until you see it clearly.

If you're able & you brought lots of water do the entire Devil's Garden trail, you will not be disappointed. One of the best hikes in Utah imo.

Landscape Arch is incredibly beautiful at sunrise. The arch is very thin and the longest arch in the park. The trail is well use and not dog friendly. Don't forget to pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and wear a hat!

The trail path to Landscape Arch is flat and boring, but the views make it worth it. You get to see the easy part of devil's garden, and the don't miss it before it breaks Landscape Arch.Although short and easy, summer heat can make this tail quite hard. I did it at 3PM, after Fiery Furnace, and my kids had a hard time getting to the end. Maybe I shouldn't have made them take the detour to Tunnel and Pine tree arches.

The was the Brigham Young University Commencement service, it was amazing! 6871 college graduated today!! My youngest son graduated today too at the Marriott Center!

This is one of the best Universities in the entire country! Not only do they teach great academics, but is one of the few that hasn't gone completely rediculous woke! The Wasatch mountains just behind it are some of the most beautiful as well. Football games in this stadium are so fun and the backdrop is breathtaking!

Walking this campus will always spark great memories from the past, and make new ones. Our family loves visiting whenever we can. I hope the school and campus continue to be an inspiration to its students and alumni.

First game BYU against Arkansas Razorbacks!! Utah people are over the top generous amd kind.

Very bad experience - zero stars for customer service (I am not talking about testing department, which was very helpful for their area). We enrolled a high schooler into a credit recovery (2 part course, each 60 days), and the timer started on both at the same time (no warning when they charged me for two courses at the same time, I guess it all is in a small font I missed). Not only we lost $ for part two we did not even open, but we cannot extend or enroll again for a year. Hence we lose a whole year. Customer service (phone and email) was useless, zero empathy as well. Beware and may you not need their help if you are enrolled.

Well-rounded university focused on undergraduate education. They offer incredibly valuable and affordable bachelors degrees with lots of career and resume building opportunities for students. The mission of the university is definitely focused on student success. It’s a super fun and friendly college environment and atmosphere.These are my honest opinions after attending 4 years here and graduate school at a different university.Go Cougs! 5/5!

BYU is one of the most amazing places to attend school, and to work.The caliber of people you associate with leaves you filled with hope for the future. A very beautiful campus, with wonderful kind people everywhere.

Outstanding university with a talented pool of students. Situated in one of the most breathtakingly scenic locations for a university campus, with stunning mountains on the doorstep of the school, your walks to class will be often awe-inspiring. There has been a lot of updating on the campus. Make no mistake, this is a unique environment that won't be for everyone. But for active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or those who like the clean-cut environment, it is a great place to get an education. Though it has a well-deserved reputation as being very conservative, you will find a lot more political diversity here than you expect on many issues. And with the majority of students from outside the state of Utah, in many ways, it is more diverse than any other school in Utah, and less in the "bubble" than critics often claim. Great place to get an education. And the cost for the value is incredible!

Brigham Young University has been voted 21st of the prettiest college campuses. It is a stunning campus nestled beneath the gorgeous Cascade mountains with the huge Y on it. BYU is known for their high standards in academics, integrity, and morality. The campus has beautiful landscaping, the buildings are kept up nicely and are beautifully designed. The student housing is new and nice. Great place to go for further education.#most_beautiful_University

Great university! Amazing value for the price and I liked how it included a religious education. I have many fond memories of lots of classes that I took (in the psychology and business departments). If you’re looking for a school with high moral and ethical standards, then this is the place for you.On the other hand, BYU might not be for everyone, to be honest. There is a strict honor code that all students must live by to keep a good standing with the university.While there is always some room for activism to change the university's honor code standards, BYU is a private university and may not be required to make such changes.If you're looking for a university in Utah Valley that does not hold students to the same moral standard as BYU, then Utah Valley University may be a better place to look for an education.At the end of the day, I think that this is a great place to study for anyone who is looking for academic rigor, a religious education, and a university that holds a high moral standard.Oh, and if you like chocolate milk, there's a lot of that. And there are lots of nice mountains that are right behind the school.

I went to school here for my bachelor's of science in electrical engineering. I love the campus! It's so clean and beautiful. The rankings change and speak for themselves but I've realized that often it's even better than the national rankings. This is because this school is a undergrad teaching focused school. We don't have the large state funds of other schools for research but we have some of the finest education in the world!

Great experience and worth the visit . Make sure you view the falls from both view points. Pool water is fun for the children to play in and throw stones, but water is cold. Great story behind the falls, read and let your mind imagine.

Definitely a great place to get out and walk around when the weather is nice! I walked along the Provo river trail that goes past the falls and it's a very easy walk. I also got to walk into the falls a little and it's so beautiful. Truly a gem local to Provo.

This a beautiful place. Nice hike along the River and has a several water falls. This is a nice ares to come with you hall family. It has picnic ares. Just a beautiful place to spend the day.

Well, it was a beautiful day to go when I headed out there on May 9th, 2023, but it'll be a while before anyone can get reasonably close to the actual falls. A massive avalanche has essentially wiped out the path, and while you can technically hike on it, I wouldn't recommend doing that.

Overall, I had a really good time hiking up to the waterfall! It's been a few years, so I was excited to see what's changed. One of those changes being that there's some construction fencing up at the base of the water fall. I'm not sure why, but it does kind of detract from the experience a little bit. Since it's still cold outside, there was some snow and ice left on the trail, but not so much so that it made the hike hard. I will say that the view was very beautiful and definitely worth it for the short little hike. I will say that it probably would have been better to go a little bit later in the day when the sun is up higher because being in the shadows was a little on the chilly side. Anyways, fun little hike that doesn't take too long and still lets you get outside!

Anyone can do it. It’s a short walk, about .5 miles on a paved path from the parking lot. However, we tried climbing up to the falls and it was pretty sketchy, so be careful.

Beautiful water falls and the colors during the fall are breath taking! Take a ride or walk down the trail that connects, or fly fish in the stream!! You’ll love it!

Unbelievably Amazing water falls! They are huge. This place is amazing for kids and adults. Great place for family's who want to go on walks or those aggressive bike riders! One of the best parts is that the falls are right off the highway! Makes it easy to get to and get some amazing pictures. You can hike up to be closer to the falls and get an even more amazing view!

Visited Bridal Veil Falls Area in May 2023 Beautiful Falls, However with the Heavy Run- off from the Major Snow Utah received this Year. The Park portion was closed, along with the River. But you could still take in the sights from the Parking Area

We just went and it's mostly closed, major avalanche. We hiked up it for a bit (not recommended, very dangerous) and to get to where the path used to be we were on top of about 30-50 feet of snow. Definitely wait until it's cleared before you plan on spending time at the falls.

Pathways, trails, and main parking lot still closed from avalanche. The falls were glorious, as always, but the best view at this point is the viewing area further up the highway. You can still park inside the main gate and walk to the picnic area and enjoy the river and trees. No bathrooms. The debris flow is going to take months to clean up, and the upper part of Old Provo Canyon Road is in a serious state of erosion. Watch your step and don't try to hike on the unstable avalanche leftovers.

Just a short 15 minute drive from Downtown Provo, Bridal Veil Falls is a must visit. With an easily accessible pull off and trails, visitors can spend a whole day exploring the area. Currently under an avalanche, but still as scenic as ever.

Beautiful waterfall with great trails accessible to anyone for viewing. The remaining avalanche debris is definitely drawing a crowd

The 1.5-mile hike up the side of the mountain was a bit of a workout, but the views along the way of the surrounding valley are spectacular. Hiking by myself at a decent pace took about 45 minutes, so definitely plan for longer if you're with kids or taking a more leisurely stroll. My tour was set at 11:00AM, and when I arrived at the Visitor Center I was told to be up at the cave entrance by 12:30, to give you an idea of what the scheduling is like.The caves themselves were awesome, and the ranger who led my tour was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions about the caves that I had. Will recommend to all of my friends and family in the area.

Generally a fun trip overall!The trail is paved the whole way with plenty of places to stop and rest if that’s what suits your fancy. It took us about 40 minutes to get to the cave. Inside, the tour guide did an excellent job answering all of our random questions. (It was cool to witness the love and dedication the park rangers have for this canyon.) Obviously descending was much quicker… The flow of traffic was minimal and weather was great. Highly recommend going!

We went about a week ago and the fall colors were absolutely stunning!! The cave was amazing and Heather, our tour guide was so fun and knowledgeable!It’s a really tough hike, I would make sure you are in good condition and leave yourself plenty of time to do the hike. However, we did see a family with little kiddos up there so it is possible.There are lots of benches and resting spots along the way. Bring plenty of water, but you won’t be allowed to open it in the cave. No large backpacks in the cave either.There are some places you have to really skinny through in the cave and some you have to bend down really low to get under.They have a water fill up station at the bottom of the trail by the visitors center, the bathroom at the visitors center a nice and clean, and they also have a bathroom at the top right before you get to the cave. That bathroom was a bit more like your usual camping bathroom so it was a little grosser, but not bad. We were the last tour of the day and they still had hand sanitizer in there. Make sure to use the bathroom when you get the chance!! No opportunities in the cave!

Absolutely Beautiful place! Great History, Fun tour guides, beautiful sights, would highly recommend for a fun day! The hike is a little steep and if it's Summer it can hot, but once you enter the cave it cools off and feels great. You also have to be prepared, bring a water bottle and good shoes. Wouldn't recommend for very young children or those in bad physical shape.

Definitely worth $12 fee to enter the caves. Trail is easy. Takes around one hour going up and half an hour coming back. You will spend a little less than an hour in caves. They were just breathtaking and the ranger who was doing the tour was super knowledgeable, and funny. Do it ! You wont regret it !

Great place to visit if in the area. The hike up is pretty strenuous and steep if you aren’t somewhat in shape. The tour is pretty interesting and the guides are very informative. The only con is the number of large kid groups. When the parents don’t keep them in line, they push to through the group and make lots of noise! This should be for ages 13+.

I only did the hike up but from what I saw it was awesome! As a Sasquatch enthusiasts I'm always on the lookout for Bigfoot, but yet again the elusive creature went unseen. Thankfully though, this national monument has a great habit for him as well as wonderful park rangers there to keep us safe and protect the local wildlife

This is such a wonderful hike! Make sure and plan because it takes a lot longer than you think to get up there for your tour because of the incline, but it was a great experience. We had a group that included an eight-year-old and two almost 40-year-olds, but we all made it just fine. The tour was wonderful, educational and entertaining.The hike itself is a bit strenuous, but lovely, and inside the cave is a little chilly, but everything is well lit, and the tour guide that we had did a great job.I totally recommend going.We went October and the weather and scenery was absolutely perfect.

Awesome. This is a must. One of the coolest most spectacular caves and hikes you will ever see and it's right in your backyard if you live in Utah County. Don't miss out.

Cave tour was excellent! The hike up is steep, and they expect it to take you up to 1 1/2 hours. But, if you get up early they'll do their best to get you on an earlier tour.Our group spent about 1 hour total in the three different caves. They are all unique, and get more spectacular as you go along.They've kept the caves very natural, so expect to need to do some serious ducking and crouching to prevent yourself from hitting the cave walls. Because of this I'd highly recommend not bringing a large backpack with you.

Need to book the tour in advance. We need to hike up about 45min-1hour depend on your pace and enjoy the spectacular view. The view was amazing so I took a slow hike and enjoy it. There are a lot of people who hike, family with kids, couple even elder.The cave itself was amazing, really enjoy the tour, there is a tour guide/ranger will explain about the cave and the history as well. You ask questions and get some explanation. Inside the cave was quiet cold so better to bring a jacket.

The Hike to the cave can be intense. We had to carry our 4 year old about half of the way up. It took us the full 90 minutes to hike up from the visitors' center to the cave entrance. Our diaper bag was too large and needed to stay outside the cave in a bear box. Both my boys needed jackets in the cave. It was too cold for them even though it was in the 90's outside. The hike was worth it, Timpanogos Cave is amazing. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to go on the more in-depth tours.

Beautiful cave, good guides. Be aware that it's a healthy 1 hour walk up (1000 ft up over ? km walk), so make sure you're ready for that: appropriate clothing, water, etc. If needed, take a rest at the occasional seats. Restroom at the top. They say the cave is 45°F, but it felt great after that walk. Everyone on the staff was excellent.

Our walk was late in the year, mid Oct. Cave was closed for cleaning but trail up still open. Great views an the way, still some fall colors to be seen. We didn't go until around 10 am but fall sun made walk look like it was sunrise. Benches on trail and posted reminders to watch a persons heart rate were a good reminder we were not in a race. Trail was pretty steep in some areas. Tree roots growing in places that made no sense. Only one restroom and it's atop just before the cave. Staff we met were real friendly, The on duty Ranger was great, had some stories to share. We look forward to when cave is open to visitors next year.

You have to buy a ticket to get into Timpanogos Cave and they give you an hour and a 1/2 from the time that you check in at the visitor center until you need to be at the entrance of the cave but I got up there in less than an hour and I stopped to take pictures along the way. It is a steep climb. however it is paved so it's an easy trail in that respect. The park Rangers are really nice and informative.

First off we didn't make it to the cave, we were not prepared. It is 1.5 hr hike to the cave, about 1 hrs through and about an hour back down. There are restrooms and water at the ticket station. We skipped as we didn't have lunch yet and we needed some more gear. It is an easy day hike, but as amateur hikers, we didn't even have a med kit with us or a solid day pack, so we stuck to the creek trails close to the road and had a great time..

The private tour was shorter, distance and time, but special because of the small group size, dark and offpath cave not otherwise viewable. Really, after the rough hike up (it is a tough hike to go quick) do both! I wish we did. The Rangers were great fun to chat with and VERY excited to have us visit.

This place is so beautiful! The view is amazing!It could be a challenge to hike. Have plenty of water and snacks, especially for kids.There are some high drops during the hike, but it's worth it.Trail: 3 miles +/- round tripDifficulty: Moderate to HardHazards: High drops, Potential rock fallsParking: Good for early birdsThe Cave tickets are only found online.

Beautiful caves and beautiful views are just some of the amazing things about this National Monument. It is a 1.5/mile hike up the side of the mountain to get to these amazing caves. The caves can only be seen with a cave tour so make sure to get tickets early as they book up fast. I went on a lantern tour with some friends and had Ranger Alex who was funny and educational. The trail does gain 1,100 feet so make sure to take plenty of water as it can definitely be a feat. You do have an hour and a half from the time on your ticket to make it to the top for your tour. It was definitely worth it!!

The staff was amazing. The lodge is a bit confusing at first but there were plenty of workers to help guide you where to go. The ski school was probably the best I've experienced so far (I haven't experienced many to be fair). The runs were fun. I will say there is probably more for more experienced riders. It's also reasonably priced! And free parking too with a shuttle that brings you to the lodge. One downfall is no snowboarding.

as someone who enjoys a bit of pampering now and then look no further. if you want that and more head to deer valley for some of the best skiing in one of the most sumptuous settings with the most attentive and friendly service i have experienced. lovely hotels, delicious meals and powder, powder, and more powder await. we could not have been happier that we made deer valley one of our ski destinations in a state that offer so many. thank you utah, we'll be back and we'll spread the word for sure!

Family friendly ski (only) resort. This place was so much fun. The best groomers and a great balance of greens/blues/blacks. I found the weekday traffic to be lower than other places so there was plenty of room to roam all day. Would do again.

My friends and I had the worst time at another resort (Park City Mountain). Kind of glad because we would never have gone to Deer Valley otherwise. For a first time ever in life skier, it was a fantastic experience. Smooth process checking in. We got ski lessons. Instructor Todd was the best!!!! All staff were kind and patient with us newbies. Thanks so much! See you soon!

Went for some mountain biking and it did not disappoint. I’m new to the sport and this was by far my favorite day on my bike yet. I hate pedaling and having the lift was amazing. Tidal wave jump track is so enjoyable. If you haven’t ridden here yet, it’s time to change that!

Best ski resort I’ve ever been to. Amazing service, food, and the runs are great! The groomers get a lot of the blues and all of the greens groomed almost every night, and the blacks are amazing for more advanced skiers! I personally enjoyed the blacks over by the Mayflower lift, but they’re super hard, so unless you’re an advanced skier, I wouldn’t try them! The lift lines can get super long if you don’t wake up and get over there early enough, so make sure you’re over there and getting your skis on BEFORE Carpenter and Silver Lake open. Anyway, this resort is amazing, and it’s kept me coming back for 8 years!

Though the base lodges can give you the impression the place is super crowded the mountain is big enough so skiers are spread far and wide. Like Alta this resort is skiers only. Lots of great trails for all abilities. Lines for the most part are short to non existent... during the week at least. We don't do weekends.

This review concerns the skiing activity at Deer Valley. My son and I skied here on a snowy Friday and enjoyed it a great deal. We parked in the free parking and took the shuttle provided up to the base, which worked well for us. The high-speed lifts get you lots of vertical and the staff are very professional and capable. We enjoyed a delicious lunch from their famous cuisine. Lunch hour seating was at a premium, however. My only complaint is that the lifts gather at the top of the ski runs, which means you may end up at the bottom at the wrong lift....

My favorite Utah resort on a “bad” snow day. Runs are always very well maintained and groomed. It’s a huge resort with tons of lifts.It’s very well staffed, and the staff care a lot about your experience.It’s a great ski resort to check out if you are 1. a local with an Ikon pass or 2. made of money.5/5!

We didn't stay at the property, we just ate there. Excellent service by some fun Jamaican servers. They always add a fun spice to your experience. Other than the fact that it was ridiculously expensive, it was fun.

The pros:*Parking lots are full but everyone hangs out in the lodge so there are no lines at the lifts. Interesting that no one actually skis when they come here*Hot water in the bathrooms is unlike any other resort in Utah*not young kids running lifts. All older professional people*It's not like other resorts where you ski through nature and picturesque mountains. It's more like skiing in people's back yards which is really weird. One of the chairlifts literally takes you over a road

Deer Valley is the place for skiers. It is one of the most beautiful landscapes.Lots of lifts long runs.If you like moguls there are plenty.The Snowshoe Tommy’s is the best hot chocolate ever!

Wow, what a great little town to be in. There are so many galleries. Many great art and photography works. I can imagine this will be a great place to be when the skiers come back in the winter.

Whenever you're up in Park City you always have to walk along Historic Main. Be aware that this is a tourist location, so you're looking at higher priced dining experiences and somewhat overpriced goods. But if price isn't too much of a concern then you'll be able to enjoy local artists and galleries, bookstores and confectionaries, and some pretty tasty pubs and restaurants. If you're in Utah for the ski season this can be a fun place to hit after the slopes

Lovely City! Another place you should visit if you visit Utah. You should go during the daylight and night. Unique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and entertainment. The street was beautifully adorn with colorful lights and flowers. Would love to go back and spend more time on City Park Main Street. The whole city seen like a nice place to live at. Enjoy it!

Leisurely walking around town. Lots of galleries, shops, restaurants. Visit the museum, worth the price of admission. (Cost of admission discounted with coupon)

Lots of good food and drink options, great art galleries and lovely sights. It is a public street with limited curbside parking and a nearby parking structure.

Christmas snow globe tour was a little bummer. The website made it seem it would be a little more interactive. Some are spaced really far apart. Had a little higher expectations considering it is in Park City. The decorations on Main Street was cute. Loved the tree.We happened to be there the night Santa was supposed to ski down the slopes. No Santa unlike what the site claimed it was to happen. Big bummer for the kiddos!

Cool town to visit. Lots of shops to check out. Great views. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, great coffee shops. Lots of souvenir shops too. There are quite a few local arts shops too.

Such a fun place to walk, shop, eat, etc.

We love Park City. The people who live here are stuffy and rude but the town is adorable. It fun to walk around if you can ignore the locals.

A nice looking town with lots of high to overpriced shops to browse. Got some good exercise walking down then up hill. It does have a trolley to help people out. Occupied a couple of hours looking around. Asked a shop clerk about public rest rooms and she rudely told us they were next door. They got the job done at best. It is interesting how such upscale towns have such poorly maintained facilites for people that are spending money in the town.

Cute downtown area with plenty of shops, restaurants, local museum, public sitting, and public restrooms. And a real Bansky!

Neat place to check out even in the off season. We did the alpine slide and it was pretty fun. You take a ski lift to the starting point and it's a pretty long ride to the bottom. We did wish they had a ticket option that would give you more than one ride but we had a good time. There are multiple restaurants and shops to check out and several other attractions. City buses also stop here often so you could explore other nearby points of interest with ease.

6 of us skied last weekend and had a wonderful experience. All of us various levels so skied green to Double black and all enjoyed the runs and variety and size of the resort. Food was excellent. Shuttles to mountain from main St Park City to Canyons was convenient and easy. Many lifts were fast. Highly recommend. Beautiful weather

Amazing routes. All skill ranges. Relearned boarding the hard way. Spent a couple days on Park City Mountain. Highly recommended Canyons Village for Intermediate- Advanced as it’s always a little less crowded with the kiddos and beginners. Or stay near the tops of the peaks and send harder routes. Favourite had to be monkey powder (black) where you ski through some tight forest and tree line. Can get very skill heavy.Had amazing fresh powder and snow days the week of Christmas through new year.Routes in the morning were a little delayed on opening. Cause of heavy snow fall. If you’re going to park at the base of the mountains by the lifts plan on getting there early, like 7:30am. Gear up and get in line by 8. Otherwise be prepared to be behind hoards of people in line for the base lifts.

I am extremely happy with my experience here! I am still learning how to ski, while my boyfriend has been snow boarding for years, and we were both able to enjoy the mountain together. There were tons of trail options available for all skill levels and the maps were easy to navigate. One of my most absolute favorite things about Park City, and the reason I’m writing this review, was the staff! Starting from parking, to the season pass office, etc, we were greeted with friendly staff who were more than willing to answer questions. I was AMAZED with the hospitality provided. The park “hosts” greeted us on the mountain and even on the lifts, giving us all the great tips and tricks to make our day fun. There were multiple occasions where we weren’t sure where to go, and all we had to do was turn around and find a person in a red shirt who happily gave us direction. Even the mountain safety staff was beyond kind! Special shout out to Jeff in the mountain safety team - I was moving slow at the end of the day and he took the time to make sure my boyfriend and I were okay and safe as we made our final run down the mountain. So far this is my favorite ski experience I have had and I can’t wait to come back. We even saw moose at the end of our day!!!! So cool!! 10/10 highly recommend!!

Awesome place to ski! There is definitely something for everyone. We personally, preferred the Canyons side. It's more open with more runs and less crowds. PC is also Sno-Go friendly and we had a ron of fun riding them down the slopes. We will definitely return!

Not worthy of even 1 star. Disgusting, rude and unprofessional customer service at the ticket office by Darrell Evans. This man should not be allowed anywhere near paying customers!!! I will never ever set foot in Park City again. The lift lines were over 2 hours long, Yes 2 hours!!! See the photos...you pay $264 for a day of skiing except you don't ski, you spend the day in long, long lines just to get on a lift. The prices are super expensive. For example, a half day ticket will cost you $211 for 4 hours of skiing. DONT COME HERE!!! GO SKI ELSEWHERE!! MR OWENS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSING SOME VERY LOYAL CUSTOMERS AS WELL AS OUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS!! LEARN TO BE RESPECTFUL OR GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS! Park City, shame on you for taking people's hard earned money to have them stand in line for hours. And...for hiring someone like Mr. Owens to assist your customers. He should be taking out the trash that way it matches his professionalism! Park City your loss is Jackson Hole's gain! BYE BYE BYE!!!

Excellent place for first time skiers! The mountain wasn’t crowded on Wednesday or Thursday, and we were able to get right on lift. The routes were great because even at the top of mountain you could take a green route, so as a beginner you could still go to top. Homerun was THE most fun route, 3.5 miles of cross country turns and then some steeper slopes with the best views EVER! The snow was well maintained and powdery, a perfect spot for beginners learning. The whole lodge was convenient and easy to get around walking in your ski boots (parking, food, rental equipment, bathrooms are all in main building at bottom of mountain).

Nice little town, specially if you are a skier ⛷️ we stay for two nights at the Marriot mountain vacation club, and enjoy the time and place. Restaurants are a bit pricey and during September to November many places closed down. People are friendly, if you are a skier you will enjoy a lot this place and probably will pay more than we did as we stayed during the off season.

Park city mountain is my favorite mountain. It is well maintained and it's huge. The free shuttle system is absolutely incredible. This has been my second year traveling out west to visit this mountain. It's always a blast and there's many bathrooms and places to eat all around the mountain

So, I’m definitely more of a Brighton girl, but Park City is starting to grow on me. It’s truly a different experience every time you’re there. I mean, it’s so big, how can it not be?? If it’s your first time here, I’d recommend starting at Canyons Village. I just think it’s more fun over there. Work your way over to the other side of the mountain if you need to. The coolest part about that side is the Town Lift, which takes you right into town. And, there’s a free shuttle that takes you to each base, so you can get lost and still make it back to your car.

Wether you are a beginner skier or a pro the Park City Mountain is the ideal place to hone and practice your skills. They feature one of the longest in the USA green runs -3.5 miles long. It’s a perfect place for the beginners and families with small kids. They even have a small ice rink. Although I saw four years old kids navigate blues like no tomorrow. The ski school offers all day long kids lessons, half a day adult lessons or private instructors. All together the resort employs over 100 instructors. The ski area is endless, they have so many slopes with various degree of difficulty and the Epic lift pass also works with the Canyons near by. You can spend a week hear and still not to hit all the runs. The resort ski area features many equipment rental companies but if you rent from Legacy Sports Rentals you can valet your equipment overnight. Also keep in mind that locker rentals are on daily basis only but if you need to store helmets and boots overnight you can rent a valet cubby right next to the lockers. There is a plethora of dining options, all pricey as expected at places like these. The quality of food versus prices definitely needs improvement. Vending machines are selling water for $5 a small bottle. After a weekend of skiing you will be ready to sell a kidney to cover the cost. All of the staff working the resort: ski valets, instructors, rental personnel, administrators were helpful and friendly. If you love snow slopes and snow sports and have some expandable cash Park City is the place to be.

Omg to much to say! Library and its cafe was great! I loved their activities and food. And all the small art shops are beautiful! Definitely a highlight! Don’t forget Roots! The small clothing shop is great! We go every year!

Only have great things to say. We were comparing where to go skiing and boarding and park city fit our needs the most. Staff are awesome and helpful. The atmosphere, views and people make Park City a special place! From beginner to advanced this mountain has it all.Go during Sundance, ZERO crowds, no lines!

DISGUSTING ATTITUDE AND POUR COSTUMER SERVICE FROM “manager” DARRELL EVANS!!! HE HAS TO BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!CAN NOT EXPRESS ENOUGH WITH WORDS HOW ANGRY WE ARE RIGHT NOW AND HOW DISRESPECTFUL THIS PERSON TREATED US!!!Came to ski ( from Miami Feb 24th to 28th ) in Canons and Park City, but due to the incredible amount of people ( pictures/videos attached), we couldn't do much. We arrived early ( Saturday the 25th ) and started the line for the gondola at 8:30 a.m., and after almost 3 hours in line, we were able to get in the gondola to start the day around noon!Almost four hours in the morning were wasted making a line and using a gondola just to encounter hundreds of people making more lines for chairlifts.We paid ($250 plus tax per day, almost $270 ) for a full day of skiing and we only got maybe 2 hours of skiing.Some chairlifts close at 3:30 p.m. as well. We are coming from out of state and we are on vacation for only three days of skiing.When we arrived at the ticket window and explained our concern to this employee, (”manager”) the lack of arrogance and audacity was beyond insolence. He did not care about anything we were saying. He was not willing to help us in any way and was making fun of us.Here we are on our last day of skiing and wanted to ski for half a day and the price for a half-day ticket is almost $230!!!! The full price is $250, ridiculous!After the explanation that was provided to this employee, he refused to assist us in any way. When I asked if I could take a picture of his name tag, he offered to pose with a thump up and a big smile! That was when we lost it!I don’t think I can describe the frustration!!!I don’t understand why this company has this kind of employee working for them.Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional!!!We could have paid for half a day, but his attitude ruined the whole experience and we decided just to leave. This place is not worth it!!!Not coming back again to be treated this way!Darrel Evans’s supervisor was not helping either. After we left for a few minutes, we needed to speak to Darrel’s supervisor, but he seemed not to care either!WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!!!

Great customer service. I got locked out of my account, and they got me back in immediately. The slopes are great and there are a lot of tracks. I've had a season pass here before and I was happy with the variety of park, tree, and regular runs.

I'm not a skier so we bought non-skier gondola lift passes up the mountain. Really spectacular views. The mid-mountain village was a great way to spend a couple hours chillin. Definitely recommend.

Love PC!! Great terrain, Well maintained equipment. Attentive staff. I always feel safe here. Food is good Apres Ski is excellent. Thos is one of the easiest trips from airport to lifts that you will find.

Expensive resort. If you want to pay the premium of $300+ day pass by all means go ahead. Please do your own research well before entering the resort. I suggest checking out other alternative resorts for better pricing. There are way cheaper resorts that are near Park City that are $50-$100 for a day pass. I paid about $300 for a lift ticket without a lesson. I only went to this resort because I thought they had price options for the beginner slopes with the magic carpet, but they did not. It was too late to go elsewhere by the time I got there. Beautiful place and friendly field operators. The customer service on the phone was degrading me during the call. He was sarcastic, rude, and made remarks. He was not helpful at all. I definitely will not return to this resort and not recommend it to my family and friends due to my experience with their office customer service.

Beautiful breathtaking resort. We had gone early December, so more than a few runs and lifts were closed because of how early it was. But there were plenty of blues and greens to keep us busy and challenged for our level.Bus system was straightforward from the main mountain to the canyon side, but was fairly confusing to get back and accidentally went the wrong way. If all the lifts were open though you could get there via lift.Not crowded. No waits. Well maintained slopes. Overall, really great

Winter. 23/24 updatedFirst of the ski season and we are looking forward to seeing 👀 what the ❄️ will bring!!I posted the early season prices.Absolutely 💯 amazing.I'm coming up to the largest ski area in the United States. The lifts are top notch and the crowds are mitigated by the express online order and outside expedited fulfillment.On the high valley transit system, you can visit the rest of the best ski resorts in America.Family friendly, plenty of facilities that use zero waste toilet 🚻s.I recommend you go see for yourself.I'm sure you're done with any other resorts.Summer is not a down time for the resort either. Just went with my girlfriend to the adventure park.Longest Alpine Slide in the country with a mountain coaster as well!!!!

I had an issue with blisters on my ankles after day 1, the ski patrol picked me up in the golf cart and took me to the first aid office and bandaged them up so I could enjoy two more days of skiing. I even got a snowmobile ride back. Q was super helpful and really takes his job seriously. I will be skiing Park City and the Canyons again next year. Thank you Robert E.

Awesome! The food and resort was amazing! It had many choices of food, and places to go! The skiing was great; it had ski runs for all levels. It is a little pricey but it was worth it!

You should take some time and go here if you are visiting Park City. You can watch ski jumpers do their acrobatic tricks into the water for free. For $85 you can do 3 1/2 hours of sliding the tubes down the ski hill or the alpine slides or the zip lines. We went on a Thursday afternoon and it didn’t feel too busy. The skiers are very entertaining to watch.

There may be more to do in the summer. The museums were great and free! Get there before 3 p.m. for guided tours. They have a ski jump simulator, which was fun! Overall, a nice experience if you are looking for a break from the slopes.

Our visit the Olympic Park proved to be a highlight our visit to Park City. Three members of our family participated in the Bobsled experience and they were so happy with it. They all came off the mountain sporting wide grins and giggles. The museum which is free to the public proved to be an exceptional display. I loved every exhibit! We all said we would visit again given the chance.

They have lots of training areas to view the athletes. One place is right outside the Olympic museum with divers and skiers both able to land in a pool of water. And it is all handicap accessible if needed

Cool place to check out if you are nearby. It’s free admission, you only pay if you want to participate in any activities. They allow you to walk up to the top, we had on sandals so didn’t make it to the top. There’s a museum inside worth seeing. I give it 4 stars because the activities are over priced.

Utah Olympic Park did not disappoint - we visited with our 3 boys ages 12 to 16. Highly recommend taking the guided tour which takes you up to the top of the ski jump and bobsled areas with incredible views - come a little early and watch the future Olympians training. Also take time to walk through the Museum which is free and has several interactive experiences. Thoroughly enjoyed!

This place is impressive if you are a winter sports fan, or Nordic fan especially. The museum is interesting and nostalgic. The venues are fantastic. For all those kids getti.g, to compete at the OP it's a once in a lifetime experience. Definitely worth visiting even if you're just passing by. Free to enter the museum.

Had so much fun bobsledding! Went so quick but glad I can check this off my bucket list. Only complaint was that they did not enforce mask wearing, which was mandated by the state when I was there. Several people were not wearing their masks on the bus ride up and in the safety video room.

Free museum with very cool exhibits and interactive simulators. Great place if you like skiing, Olympics, or winter sports! Guided tours available. In between winter and summer hours and access to some areas may be limited. Very good place to visit on your way into town!

Always an amazing adventure at Utah Olympic Park. This time we did the extreme tubing down the ski jump and had such a thrill.No wait and despite being the weekend, we were able to get right on the hill. Taking the lift up to the ski jump was peaceful and a fun addition to the experience.Lots of olympic memorabilia and history to view in the main lobby. Parking is easy and close. There are even lockers for purses and handbags.

Great time for families or alone. Check out the athletes practicing and take part in activities that are available. Definitely get a reservation and do the waivers ahead of time. Very organized and super helpful staff. Go for the views alone!! Definitely recommend.

Exciting summer activities for kids 10years + such as zipline, extreme tubing, ropes course to name a few. Perfect place for adventurous kids.The staff are very friendly and take time to help answer questions. Some rides require hiking paths to reach them but are worth the effort. Arrive on time and the lines are not long.

Impressive facility in a very picturesque setting, good museum and facility tour. It is close to a very beautiful alpine style town Park City, which is nestled into the valley. Two massi e off leash dog fields, and a bridge for skiers to come off the slope right into town A place that knows who and what it is catering for. Very busy, lots of pre , and apres ski, perfect March break weather sun and snow.

What a blast the bobsled is to ride. I highly recommend doing this ride for several reasons. 1. It is fun. 2. It helps to support track maintenance and the workers needed to make it happen. 3. Proceeds from this and the store benefit our Olympians.All you do is, pay for the ride, take a free shuttle to the finish line where you receive instruction from Carl, receive another free shuttle with your bobsled and professional driver to the starting point, get in the sled 1, 2, 3, and sit down 3, 2, 1 and hang on while you reach 65 to 70 mph and experience up to 3 and 4 g's. You will be hooked and if like us, we did it again the following day.

Pretty cool seeing all the Olympic areas as well as the view of Park City from up there. Watching the skiers was fun too.

Totally worth the $20 per adult to take the guided tour. Matt was very knowledgeable and the views were amazing. We got to see the Alpine ski jump team practice in the freestyle pool. Amazing!

Lots of history and interesting facts. Beautiful with snow around and the tour was captivating. Definitely a must see.

I really didn't know what to expect. I read that some Olympic athletes trained there, but that was about it. It turned out that there were about a dozen kids and early 20's people practicing on the smaller jumps and landing in a pool. We enjoyed watching that. The bobsled run also had some paid participants. We opted out since it cost $100. It was still fun to watch. The biggest surprise was going to the top of the ski jump. I had no idea it was that high. Those athletes are crazy! Many rides for the whole family. Highly recommend!

Our family spent Memorial Day morning at Utah Olympic Park - it was an incredible experience!We loved the Extreme Zip, Alpine Slide, Canyon Rope Course, Airbag Drop, Drop Tower, and the views from the chairlift. Tubing wasn’t available the day we went.Everyone was smiling, while enjoying these fun outdoor activities, in a beautiful setting.Highly recommend!

My family had an awesome time! I haven’t been here since a field trip WAY back when in elementary, now I decided to take my almost 2 year old - he loved it! The entry price seemed very reasonable. It was cloudy and rainy when we went so the animals were more active, there were very few people, and it was much cooler which was great. Everything seemed clean, everyone was friendly, and we just had a good time. The splash pad was also wonderful for that mid-day break. My one complaint may be the food just wasn’t very good, I mean, it’s exactly as expected and tastes like theme park food, which is to say not great.

What a great zoo! It's on the small side but still has lots of larger animals - bears, big cats, rhinos, elephants, and giraffes. It takes some wandering to see everything. The entrance is at the top and the rest of the park is downhill to the right with a portion higher up on the other side of a creek. I might recommend skirting the African Savannah to do the back path first and down to the Asian animals, make sure to hit the small animal building, then towards the street and the bears & seals, then work your way back uphill. Or, structure your day around the day's keeper talks - I managed to just miss all of them! The seal & sea lion training would have been great to see.The train wasn't going during my visit and they are constructing a new "wild Utah" area that the train will circle, so that looks like it will be really nice when it opens.There's a fun carousel that costs $3 per ride and plays pop music (like "you spin me right round baby") and a decent cafe with friendly staff, though there are plenty of better places to eat outside the zoo and nearby. The gift shop is large and fun, in all, it's a great experience!

We go here once a year for my son's birthday. It's a lovely zoo! The animals seem happy, or at least content, and the enclosures/habitats provide enrichment. Feeding the giraffes was a really fun experience too!I highly recommend bringing your own food and drinks, because the stuff in the park is very overpriced.

We are from Washington State and came to visit family. Our visit was on a cooler drizzly day which was perfect seeing everything and we had the zoo practically to ourselves. The lions roared and we saw almost everything the zoo had to offer. This is one of the few zoos in the world with Sand Cats and we saw one sleeping! Clean zoo and clean bathrooms. Friendly staff when needed. $3 for a carousel ride was a bit steep when we pay $1 at ours and everything is more expensive where we live. Wish they had something with sand cats at the gift shop but we bought some things to add to my 4 year old's zoo collectibles.

Since 1931 Hogle Zoo is a fantastic zoo. Great exhibits with some very rare animals. Plan on lots of walking with hills as well. For the most part it is handicapped equipped and friendly as well. Took my youngest grand daughters and they had so much fun!

Still a good zoo for being on the smaller side. Tons of unique animals and for the most part, visible during our visit. It was extremely hot, 100 degrees, so many opted for the shade and just lying around. A nice touch for visitors was the many mist fans spread around the zoo. Few comments: $3 dollars per person for the train is more than it is worth. When it gets renovated, this may be a fair price, until then, charge a $1 or make it free. Outside the first 200 meters on the train, there is nothing to see. The reptile, small animal exhibit was under construction i think. It never explicitly said. For my military people, no discount, however, you can save $2 dollars per person if booked online. Only know this because the lady next to me purchasing tickets was told this by the ticketing employee. Our ticketing girl did not offer up this information to us.

A very nice zoo! So much to see and fun for families! It was a hot day, but there were sprayers and fans and shaded areas for people to sit and cool off. Highly recommended!

It's definitely a nice little zoo. We enjoyed our time here and spent a solid 3-4 hours here exploring all the exhibits and seeing the animals. Sadly, a good number of the animals were hiding or sleeping, but there is nothing you can do about that. I would recommend checking it out if you are in the area. It was also pretty busy for a weekday. I guess, it is summer so it was expected to see a lot of housewives and kids.

Definitely recommend purchasing tickets online in advance, you will get a discounted price. We arrived right when they opened, so no wait time and very light traffic in and around the zoo at first. They have a larger sized parking lot. Very toddler friendly. We enjoyed watching the male polar bear swim laps and got to watch staff feed the bobcat and made a scavenger hunt with its food. Unable to ride the train as it was closed for construction. Our 2yr old enjoyed riding the carousel- you do have to purchase a separate ticket for this, the kiosk is located near it. Enjoyed looking through the gift shop for souvenirs.

This is a really great zoo, what a wonderful place for a day visit for the family.Public areas are nice and clean restrooms are clean gift shop is fun.Animals look really well taken care of in their enclosures. nice looking, clean, animals roaming around playful which is always a great sign.Nothing too out of the ordinary or more interesting than others but is still a really great place to spend the day.

The day we visited it was hot so a lot of animals weren't active. There were tons of baby animals which are always cute and fun to watch. We fed the elephant, which is an additional cost, but worth it for the once in a lifetime opportunity. The train wasn't working when we went which was disappointing. The enclosures were decent sized. I liked how they had the giraffes and zebras sharing an enclosure. I definitely recommend trying the pretzel if you go. It was so good. The hamburgers were dry and overpriced.

We always stop at zoos whenever we travel. This has to be close to the best zoo we have ever visited. The zoo was very clean and well cared for. The animals has plenty of room to roam which is not always the case with zoos. It's very disheartening when you see animals in small enclosures but this was not the case here. The animals also had a lot of clean flowing water which you also don't see at every zoo. This zoo was also quite big. When we looked at the website it look small but we where surprised when that was not the case. The Red Panda exhibit was our favorite along with the 2 Harbor Seals and 2 California Sea Lions. We highly recommend that every at this zoo to their to do list when in Salt Lake City.

A nice zoo very kidsfriendly. Worth a visit if you are in the area.Recommend to buy tickets beforehand and you save 2 dollars when purchase online.We came around 1pm during the weekend and it was a bit difficult to find a parking spot but we finally did. Parking is free.It was a hot summer day mid August. I would recommend coming earlier. Preferably opening.We were there for 3-4 hours. You won't need to spend longer.

I loved this zoo, they had so many different animals that we don't have in Arizona. I suggest getting there right when they open so you can enjoy it before it's too crowded. I loved to many animals to list my favorites but I will say the sea lions were a great surprise!

We love our zoo! We had a great time in July with the kids and sure wore them out. Lol. We had good appearances from the animals and got to spend good time with them up close! The lion drinking fountain is iconic. There is also a small playground there. We were able to get drinks from the bistro. Such a wonderful place!

Going to the zoo was very fun! We got our tickets for 5 dollars each. As we entered we got to see most of the animals. A lot of them were being active too! The only sad part was the elephants being gone, but it was fun watching the gorillas interact with little kids. Great experience for me.

Having been to the Denver, CO Zoo, I did not expect this zoo to be very good or big, but honestly it blew the Denver Zoo out of the water! It took 3 hours (without children) to see everything in the zoo, and we saw everything! The enclosures were well maintained and clean, and all the animals seemed happy and energetic, which was a compete 180 from the Denver zoo!! We were able to get really close to all the animals (with glass between us) and got several great photos and videos, and all for just $14 for 2 adults!! I would highly recommend the Hogle Zoo if you are in the area, it was an absolute pleasure!!!

I love the wild weekdays rather than free day. It costs a little, but isn't as crowded so much more fun! Having it spread out makes it easier to find a time my now adult "kids" can go as well. We went to free days when they were little and it was a mad house! It was the only time I could afford to take them back then, especially as a single mom, so I still appreciated the opportunity! It was fun to have them reminisce as we took pictures in front of various photo op locations that we did when they were little. The animals were very active while we were there which was an added bonus! The polar bear was doing laps which was awesome! The sea lions are always fun to watch. Giraffes and emus monkeys and lemurs. The meerkats were especially cute this time! The lions and tigers were both being noisy which was really cool! The porcupines were actually awake for a change. Fighting over one plate of dinner like human siblings when there was a another plate untouched ! We miss the elephants, hippos, camels, penguins and other Animals that used to be there that are no longer on exhibit. I always think about Shasta the liger and wish they would bring her back. I would love the wax figurines that you could make in the machines. My husband and I made one when we were in Seattle and the smell of the hot wax took us back to childhood!

I didn't have the best time. I love zoos but this one was lacking. Other reviews say they spent hours here. We got in and out in less than 40 minutes and we saw every exhibit. Most of the animals were asleep or not available. The train is under construction. The food establishments only two were open and didn't have much of a selection of items. I think this place maybe great for children to experience but as an adult, with zoo experiences nationwide, it left me wanting more. We were supposed to be able to feed the giraffes according to the website but there was no area which you could do this. Anyway, did get some photos of the wildlife. So it wasn't totally a waste. Cost us $20+ I think it was $24 but we got tickets online and saved a little. Oh I went in September and the two elephants were being relocated with a few weeks of our visit. Not sure if they are getting new ones but they only had two.

The zoo is good, if a bit pricey. Figure roughly $20 per person (kids a bit less, adults a bit more; under 3 are free). They do have free days but it's usually packed.I miss the elephant exhibit.

Amazing place to take your dinosaur enthusiast! My kids love it here. They have multiple levels with different exhibits. Interactive displays for hands on learning and to ease your mind, hand sanitizer everywhere!

Mine and my youngest son's first experience at a Natural History Museum. We were not disappointed. It was truly amazing. Between all the dinosaur skeletons, the wild life section, and the history of the Indians in Utah, it was all an amazing experience. Plus, the view of Salt Lake City is incredible.

Very nice museum with tons of interesting things to look at. We were there on a weekday when some schools were there. Had it not been for all the kids I believe we would have been the only ones there. Rocks and minerals were very interesting as well as all the fossils and dino bones. We had a great time and would recommend this as a stop for any traveler.

Hot tip: start from the top floor and work your way down.Hot tip for tourists: if you have a pass to a natural history museum in your hometown, it might be valid to use here too! We used our Museum of the Rockies pass to get in free!Hot time on time: we went on a weekday in the evening outside of tourist season, there were no crowds and not many other people there.This is an incredible museum. We happened to visit while there is a Jane Goodall exhibit and it was amazing. There is a lot of thought put in to this museum and I recommend it for young and old alike.The viewing decks were closed when we arrived, but I hope to get to go out there next time we’re in Salt Lake.

This was one of my favorite museum experiences I’ve ever been able to participate in. The walking amount can be a bit of a struggle for those with lesser endurance, but even then, slopes are gradual, elevators are available, and the entirety of the exhibits, save for a couple optional locations, appeared to be easy enough to navigate and handicap-friendly. The stories and presentations were excellently captured, and they made it very easy to discern between interactive and non-interactive attractions and displays. Fun for any age, with lots of visual, auditory, and tactile interactions throughout. Set aside a good 2-3 hours if you want to see everything and experience things wholly. We spent 2 and a half hours here and ended up having to be rushed out at closing time half-way through the Colors exhibit.Absolutely worth the time, the travel, and the visit.

This was an amazing experience! The architecture and exhibits are spectacular. I would totally share pictures of them, but it would just spoil the magic! I also really enjoyed the outdoor decks that give an awesome view of the salt lake city skyline. It was fun for myself, and the rest of my family. Very fun, and I would definitely go here again in the future.

Breath-taking place. You'll dive deep into the history of Utah. It'll surely give you a serotonin boost. The palaeontology section is mind blowing. Loved their collection. The dinosaur's bones are marvellous. Their mineral collections are also praise-worthy.You'll need 3-4 hour min to visit the place. They have a cafe on the ground floor. The ticket fee is $20 for outsiders, free if you have a student pass (of the U)Highly recommended place.

Did you know that pterodactyls are not dinosaurs! This is a lovely museum nestled right up next to the mountains. The layout is designed masterfully. It is the perfect afternoon activity! Please do not smell the dinosaur meal…..ugh. You will also learn about the difference between mastodons and woolly mammoths! Well worth the price!

We really enjoyed this museum! The attention to detail is incredible. The flow is perfect to match your pace. You can quickly go through or spend your time at each station. It’s set up as a walkthrough. From dinosaurs to current wildlife-the place has it all. And the view outside is AMAZING! Definitely check this out!!!

Had a great time here with my two small kids. Lots of steps but there was an elevator for the stroller that was quick and convenient. The dinosaur exhibit was a little hard to find and my husband ended up having to go back through with our 5yr old to find it before we left. Some of the hands on features didn’t work but most did and they were fun for everyone. The staff were helpful and our toddler was free. The gift shop is pricey but had some great stuff that the kids are still enjoying weeks later.

The Natural History Museum of Utah is a sensational interactive destination in Salt Lake City. A visually stunning building set at the base of the Wasatch Mountains is home to dinosaurs, rocks & minerals, animals and indigenous peoples.At the start of the museum, a hands-on kiosk guides even the smallest of guests to the museum level that most interests your blossoming Biologist, Paleontologist, Naturalist, Historian, or Geologist. This way, if time is limited, make a bee-line for target areas.Engaging all five senses, visitors can smell extinct flora and fauna; dig for fossils; engage Paleontologists at work; draw dinosaurs; jump to create seismic waves; assemble cells and DNA strands; observe ants; touch a snake, and so much more!Before or after entrance, trails open up to the majesty of Utah's natural wonders for hikers and bikers alike. Be sure to pack sunscreen and good shoes!Whether there's an hour or all day, don't miss this gem. It's in the top 10 "things to do in Salt Lake City" for a reason. 10/10 recommend!

Museum is huge, 5 levels, all each have a little outdoor patio with stuff to read. Don't lose your ticket cause it's also the key to get in an out from the patios. Lots of interaction rooms, areas and monitors. When you enter there's a cute quiz that suggests where to start. We didn't listen an started on level 5 an worked our way down and across. There's stairs an elevators. Next to the elevators on each level are restrooms. It took us about 3-4 hours to complete the museum an shop the gift shop. There's much to look at. Native american, fossils, dinosaurs, geology, the earth with minerals and plate tectonics, animals/insects, DNA, micro biology, and human/ animal evolution. An a mini zoo. I'd definitely check it out.

What a great experience and well worth the visit. Not sure of cost as I went as veteran free this weekend. Located off Wakara way at University of utah. 5 floors to explore. Native American indigenous peoples on top, an observation deck looks out over the Salt Lake Valley. Dinosaur on a level some play and Interactive for the children. Wild life exhibits on one floor. A great walk through history. Everyone should visit if not once, many times. Gift shop and food court are here to.

My favorite part was the Native American artifacts. A lot of the science exhibits are hands on / oriented for younger children. They also have an impressive array in of gems and minerals - many of which I had never heard of, but were very pleasing to the eye. It was quite expensive, and closes right at 5. I would have liked more time to explore the upper levels.

Wow!! This museum is AMAZING!! My husband & I, our 8 year old son & 15 year old daughter stayed a little over 6 hours!! Easily could have stayed longer. Soooo many dinosaur 🦕 bones!! Such a beautiful museum. Saw a couple animal presentations from the Wild Side with Alex. I loved all the gems! Hubby loved the Native American displays. Truly a place to check out!

Jane Goodall exhibit is great. Very friendly staff I recommend at least 2-4 hours here. We did 2.5 and still feel like we had to rush through some stuff. Dino area is insane but minerals are pretty quick. The overall layout is all ADA accessible and beautiful, really combines form and function. Worth the money

I would ask you to try to go to this museum a little earlier because it close pretty early so I think you’ll need like two hours to enjoy it in a full depth. There was an exhibit of a scientist who lived with monkeys. It was a really cool exhibit. Buying tickets is very easy at the door. However, they don’t have student prices so if your student having your student ID as you want to anything, unless you are a student of university of Utah.If you really want to see the information about dinosaurs, highly would advise you to go to this museum $23 ticket is very well for this museum.

This is a great museum! In a beautiful building with amazing views, this bolsters also some great exhibits as well. From the natural history of Utah and the special collection of Jane Goodall, this is a perfect place for all ages. We did get a good discount for being students, but I would for sure come back with new exhibits in the future. The gift shops also have lots of great options.

This museum was fantastic, from the outside it looks small, but the interior has so much well designed space and exhibits. The only downside was the parking was a bit limited, but other than that, fantastic. The replica fossils were amazing, as well as everything else! Fantastic place to visit in SLC!

This museum is amazing. I love how it's laid out, and it definitely looks like a canyon on the inside. You can go to the cafe without a ticket, if you want. But the museum is so worth the price. There's 5 floors with so much information. I loved the mineral area, and the dinosaurs from a local quarry were also great to look at. The native voices exhibit is so informative, and definitely worth the stop.Parking is free, and they have a good lot with ramps. The views from the cafe are great, and they gave bathrooms near the elevator exits.

Beautiful museum with lots of exhibits. Highly recommend! If you go during the warm seasons it's right next to the red butte gardens, which is also nice to do. Lots of the displays had interactive, hands on activities, fun for kids and adults it took me about an hour to go through the exhibits but one could easily spend a few hours here.

Unbeatable collection of dinosaurs 🦕The museum is very nicely design to make the visit so enjoyable.Such an amazing visit , you can spend hours without noticing.Interesting for young kids as well as adults.

I like to visit gardens and nature centers while traveling. I was able to fit in Red Butte Garden on a Sunday afternoon before dinner while visiting Salt Lake City. The entrance is very inviting , you can almost sense the beauty that you are about to experience before you even open the doors. The staff was extremely cheerful and friendly. They took care of our ticketing, one girl complimented my necklace, the other made sure to tell us where to start and guided us towards the map (which was very helpful). There are some many different garden areas … every twist and turns leads to more breathing beauty and an overload of pleasure to your senses as you smell the heavenly scents, see and touch all the different plants and flowers and hear the birds. Everything is so peaceful! There are so many little spots kind of hidden from the main path you could spend all day nestled in nature. There were also lots of hiking trails we did not get to experience. We hiked morning and night our entire Utah trip , including all morning this day, so at this point (our very last day in Utah) we were just looking to experience calm and relaxation and that’s exactly what we got! The gift shop is wonderful and even the vistors center has lots to see if you want to explore more. There was a photography exhibit going on … but also other beautiful plant rooms and even the stair cases going up are adorned with nature! I really loved it here and if we ever go back to Utah again, I will put this on my list of to-dos… and stay there 1/2 the day!

I came here to see Los Lonely Boys with my friend and I love this venue. The best part was that you can bring a cooler with your own alcohol which saves a lot of money. It hosts very small scale events, so it's not as crowded and chaotic as large venues. You can bring blankets or chairs(must be a certain height) to sit on once you find a spot on the lawn. The lawn/seating area slants down toward the stage providing good visibility for everyone. The surrounding gardens and view from the mountain side was spectacular. The bands sounded amazing. Parking was free.

I grew up going to Red Butte but have appreciated it more as I’ve gotten older. It’s outdoor amphitheater is my favorite concert venue and I had my bridal taken in the gardens (in June when the Wisteria is bonkers!).This year we attended Red Butte’s Halloween event, Boo-tanical Gardens, and were totally blown away. They went all out! It was my favorite Halloween activity we did this fall. The fairytale-themed scavenger hunt led us on a big loop through the gardens (bonus for having plenty of space for social distancing) with a different theme in each area.Even my two-year old was able to enjoy the hunt because each item was held by a skeleton he was able to help spot. The signage and stories throughout were masterfully done, tying in plant life and appealing to the older end of the age spectrum.The gardens were gorgeous with their changing leaves, mums, and an impressive amount of blooms still in tact—not to mention the highest quality decorations.This will definitely be a yearly tradition for us!

Gorgeous place for a lovely walk and peaceful spots for relaxation.Wheelchair accessible, some steep slopes and inclines but totally manageable.Loved the herb, medicinal, and fragrance gardens.Tons of flowers, bees, and butterflies while we were here.Lots of benches for seated opportunities.I think this is a lovely walking space for exercise. You can do as many loops and varieties of paths.Staff were super friendly to accommodate us, we needed to store one piece of luggage and backpack, as we made this one hour pit stop bedore our flight.

Amazing place! If you're wondering how to get a yard garden going, come here for inspiration and to see how different plants grow. A great place to discover native plants and water wise plants.They offer a great concert series here too. Keep updated on that via their website.

A fabulous oasis in the middle of a beautiful desert called Salt Lake City. We love to stroll the grounds and take in the magnificent scenery. Impeccably maintained.

Beautiful place and very educational, it's amazing the great variety of flora and the birdseeing is gorgeous too.

I'm not a local but if I were I would visit this place all the time. I was there in June and it was so beautiful. I spent about 6 hours there and wasn't ready to go. I especially love the hiking trails that are behind the gardens as you feel like you're in the wilderness but you can't get lost. The only negative is that there is no option for food that I found. A café would be perfect here.

Gorgeous garden. Lots to see. Only wish I could have gone without so many people there. Seemed there was someone parked at every cool photo opportunity. The gardeners were all friendly. Can’t say the same about the girls at the front desk. The views at the top of red butte are worth the hike. Very pleased with my visit!!!

I had a few hours to kill one morning last week in Salt Lake so I decided to take advantage of my membership at Red Butte garden and pay a visit. I was afraid because of the hot weather that it would not be in the greatest shape but boy was I wrong! It is absolutely stunning. What a great way to enjoy some time in Salt Lake. It was quiet with lots of shady spots to rest and take in the beauty. I highly recommend.

Red Butte Garden is a hidden gem in the Salt Lake Area. Even for those who may not typically be into gardens, you will find beauty to enjoy in this garden. The botanical gardens go on and on and on and opens your eyes to how many various types of species there are of different flowers, plants, trees, grasses, bushes, and shrubs. So many of them look gorgeous but also smell amazing. There’s tons of small benches and alcoves that you can step off the trail onto and enjoy a picnic or have a private conversation with a loved one. I’d highly recommend this as an activity for any visitor coming to the Salt Lake Area!

Wonderful gardens sampling a variety of flowers, shrubs, trees and climbing plants, all which would do well in Utahs desert climate. The venue itself was well taken care of with multiple paths to explore. The majority, if not all, of the gardens are wheelchair and stroller accessible, aiding in the enjoyment for all ages. We caught the garden towards the end of the summer/early fall and there were still enough flowers and plants in bloom to make it worth the trip. This would also be a great place for wedding or bridal photo shoot.

Beautiful winter escape with plowed paths and great views. Also happened to meet two local photographers that had their work on display. Great option for an afternoon out!

We were fortunate to have tickets to the Boofestival. It provided a fantastic and interactive experience! They offered engaging puzzles tailored for both younger children and older participants, which were a delight to solve. Plan to dedicate a minimum of two hours for this event.

Butte-full so it's still early for many flowering plants it was a beautiful day

Red Butte Garden is such an array of luscious, greens, spectacular flowers, and plant life. The views over Salt Lake City are impeccable. It's breathtaking to walk around and see every name of every living thing. The beauty and perfectly intricate details of these gardens are amazing. You can sit bathe in the sunshine while gaining such a sense of tranquility. I highly recommend this place to everyone for people who love the wonders of nature.

Great place to visit. I had a weeding event and it was a great.The garden gets maintained every day as well

Visited on Labor Day. Labor Day is one of their free days. Normally ticket cost is about $14 for an adult. Unfortunately some of the hiking trails were closed due to construction. Been on them before and they are great with beautiful views of the city.The gardens have a ton of different species. Walking through you get fragrance and aromas. Even on a rainy day we had a lot of fun walking around and enjoyed the plants, aromas, and views. Worth it!If this review was helpful, please give it a Like!

Great fall hike! Taking the gondola up! It was fun but a little pricey to get to the top but spectacular views!

Snowbasin was great. Lots of terrain to ski, powder stashes here and there, especially if you hike a little. The groomers were in good shape and skied fast, too. The added gondolas and trams from 2002 Olympics are great.

If you want great skiing, Snowbasin is where you should go! They take great care of their runs by grooming them regularly. Middle Bowl lift was replaced in the 2021 off season. It’s a 5 minute ride to the top!I had so much fun my last couple of visits! I look forward to going again soon.

Great mountain. Wish we caught it on a powder day. But we did get a blue bird day. The lodge area is really nice. First time at the mountain so there was a lot of traversing to get around and explore. There is a good amount of parking available. Didn’t fill up and we got there around 10:30 but it was a weekday. Recommend going to the top and taking the tram. Great views up there.

Awesome slopes, nice views and decently priced lift tickets $215/day vs $300 at Park City. Snow was good and you can find slopes for every skill level. Definitely coming back.

Superb...Fantastic experience. Very Organized. They had all kinds of Ski Slopes. Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced. 9000 feet high mountain slopes. Ski lifts or closed Gondolas to carry you up the mountain. The Resort is very popular amongst the locals. They have trained instructors. Huge gift shops with lot of items. Huge eatery, Seperate building for rentals. We took a whole day package deal along with Ski lessons and was at a good price. It is about 1 hour drive from Salt Lake City. Ample parking. Lot of warm places to sit with family and enjoy lunch. We loved it as family and would highly recommend the same to other families / Adults.

A place for the books! We came for the Blues, Brews and BBQ event a few weeks back and loved everything about our day trip! The scenery is gorgeous, they have many different hike/bike trails, mini-golf, good beer, a nice restaurant at the top of the mountain, a gondola ride and to top it off... it's a dog friendly venue!!

Pretty close proximity to Salt Lake City and has a local, homey feel that is wonderfully run from the seemingly dozens of parking guests to the wonderful restaurant staff. The lodges were extremely nice and almost felt like a nice country club. We went there on a Saturday jn mid march and it was not crowded with no lift lines longer than 5 min. It is on the smaller side with only few chairlifts, one gondola, and a very short tram mostly serving a hike along a very steep and rocky ridge with various chutes to go down. Mountain consists of a fair share of blues and greens with some blacks mixed in. There were some good tree runs with pretty good snow even a couple days after it actually showed. It seemed most skiers of the mountain were not very good and stuck to groomers or easy runs. There are a lot of chutes that can be hiked too and feed down to the main top area of the mountain. There is a very short hike to the top of one of the peaks that has amazing panoramic views of the spectacular rocky tops of the mountain along with the salt lake and surrounding flat areas with mountain rising up in the distance. All around good family mountain with some steeper stuff and a small feel. Definitely worth it especially on weekends where more mainstream mountains in the area are packed.

The weather was perfect today, blue skies, sunshine and good temp. Lots of great snow. Not crowded. Lodges are gorgeous.Spring 2023 Spring skiing is awesome!!

Went skiing for the first time ever..!! From South Carolina, visiting the area for work and decided to give it a try since they had so much snow this late in the season (April 15, 2023). Everyone, including the two gentlemen who bought me a beer prior to my run down the beginner slope, were very friendly and helpful!! Beautiful resort!! I plan to return again next season and take some lessons, and become a better skiier!! Thank you Snowbasin for making my first trip so enjoyable!!

My favorite resort in Utah I grew up skiing Sun Valley so lucky this one so close to home!!!!!!!! Excited

It was our first time skiing in Snowbasin and we went Thursday & Friday last week. We have the Ikonpass and we wanted to ski a new resort. It snowed on Thursday and it was cold. The resort’s lodges were beautiful and comfortable. It was nice to relax and get back on the lifts again once we warmed up. I appreciate the gondolas. It wasn’t very busy on Thursday, and there were no lift lines. There were more cars/people on Friday. It was a beautiful day. The resort offered shuttles from the parking lot. We were worried that there were going to be long lines. It was only long in the early morning. Snowbasin is beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.

It is a gorgeous ski mountain with break taking views of the mountains. Unfortunately, the parking situation there was a nightmare. They badly need a reservations system for that. Even though their website says most easy to access, it actually took 30 minutes in backed up traffic just to enter into the premises. We also did not like how bumpy the mountain was. There were little to few flat runs. Your only choice was moguls on just about every downhill pathway. If you love the bumps then this is the place to go. We had driven an extra 50 minutes to escape the hustle and bustle of some of the other ski resorts in Utah and were disappointed in the result. If you live in Ogden, I guess this is the best choice, but if coming from elsewhere, not so much. We are not going to rush back here anytime soon.

The mountain was absolutely fantastic with a ton a varied terrain. Our group had all skill levels from beginner to advanced and everyone was able to find a spot on the mountain to enjoy.The glades past strawberry were incredible.The lodge was very, very nice with bathrooms located right next to the lift so you don’t have to trudge inside.The line to park was long but I did enjoy not having to make a reservation. We arrived at 10:30 and there was plenty of parking space left.The only improvement would be to upgrade the pass scanners so you don’t have to take the pass out of your jacket every time.

One of the most beautiful resorts with exceptional runs. The runs are so long and perfectly pitched. Everywhere you go is beauty beyond belief!

Great spot for a company ski day! The lodge was among the nicest I’ve ever been to. We had the Huntington room with catering services. Emma and Alex did a wonderful job coordinating this event with me and it was a fantastic success!

The mountain is wonderful, and even despite this winter being pretty lousy, almost everything is open. The snowmaking machines are always working, keeping the slopes snowy, rather than rocky. We had an amazing experience at this resort.

Beautiful!!! Friendly and helpful park rangers. Nice library, including books for kids and you can take a book out to the rocking chairs and read. Not a lot of parking, so go early or be prepared to queue. Options to refill water. Good trails. Bring bear spray! We saw a bear 15 yards from the trail near the lake.

This is a great example of environmental preservation. The volunteers were knowledgeable and friendly, this site was well staffed and the facility was a great example of minimalism and focuses on nature and the beauty of the Region. The hikes around this area is great. We hiked up to Phelps lake – definitely work the time and not a strenuous hike. But bring water and arrive early. There are limited parking spaces.

Very beautiful hike to a large lake tucked in the mountains. Trail was wide and easy to navigate. Trail has lots of rocks so wear your hiking shoes. The trails are open, but the interior displays are closed for the season starting sometime in September.We hike a lot of trails and this is a very , very, beautiful one!!

While we did not visit the center, we did hike the Lake. Though we hike fast, it did take us about four hours do to the site seeing and photos. We saw deer, fish and tadpoles. Traumatized watching a fish just swallow a bug that was trying to swim to land. Def mosquitoes. We almost got lost as it started to get dark fast but we found our way out thanks to flashlights.

Did the Lake Creek Trail. Beautiful easy hike. Bring bear spray and don’t hike alone! Saw a black bear past the second bridge. Bathrooms and visitor center were both closed.

Another gorgeous trail area. LSR doesn't open until early June, which was a shame. Peering through the windows, it seemed my kind of place, a library setting with lots of books and comfortable leather chairs.

We love all of the Grand Tetons and Tetons National Park, however, a few spots have become our favorites. This is one of them. A great little hike next to the stream from the mountains with many picture perfect spots along the trail.There's waterfalls and a lot of animals. The lake, if you make it there - Phelp's lake - is a beautiful mountain lake sitting at the base of the Tetons.In the summer hot days, there's more than one place to step out into the water, paddle board if you want to carry it up there, or go swimming, although the water is cold, cold, cold.Any easy, gradual hike, with a mostly wide trail, although there are a few spots where it narrows and is rocky. You must pick your way through the rocks on a few locations.There are restrooms at the bottom, one near the parking, the other near the main building which is closed in the winter, and one up near the lake.As others have indicated, the best time to visit the parks is in the off-season, not when all of the tourists are here.

Loved the hike to Phelps Lake stunning. Saw 3 bears on the trail a mama and her cubs that was awesome!

Nice hike from the parking lot to the lake and back. You can hike for 1-6h depending on your fitness level and destination. There are two trails going towards the lake - one is woodland trail and second follows a creek.

We had such an amazing day! The kids had a great time jumping off the 25 foot cliff. We missed out on a bear sighting, but saw the biggest bull moose we have ever seen and few of us saw a fox. The views are spectacular!!! Make sure you take the full trail if you have time.

Small parking lot, so big risk = big reward. Noone on our hike and it was beautiful. We saw mule deer and otters on the hike

The visitor center was nice and a little quirky. The views are amazing, and I enjoyed the walk through the sagebrush to get to the center. There is a small waterfall and stream a very short way down the trail. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Of the 5 national parks I've visited in the past year, this is my absolute fave. Every part of the center was mindfully designed (obviously but also confirmed by the ranger) and feels like a therapeutic nature-based art gallery. But that wording doesn't even do it justice. The Rockefellers hired a female poet to write a poem that is quoted bit by bit throughout the space, and I mentioned loving it so much that the park ranger gave me a printout of it. This is a must-visit in my book. They keep the parking lot small so one of us had to wait for maybe 10-15 min for a spot.

Kind of a long drive down a road that says it is closed multiple times. Looks like it can get real busy since there was a park ranger directing parking. The walk up to the building was long but beautiful. Make sure you check out the stream and small waterfall behind the building.

Yellowstone is in my top 3 parks. I had an amazing trip spending 4 days in the park. I plan on returning during winter so I can finish my trip and see all the snow. The wildlife was great, staff was friendly and it was a beautiful experience. Jeff Mullins Photography Adventures. Happy Hiking!

One of the best national park to visit. We stayed inside the park and it helps to go around early and watch a lot of animals. A great experience for families.

Best!

Five stars for the park. ONE star for the road safety.Please, please ban bicycles from the roads! It's dangerous for the riders to be out there where they can become prey, but worse for the drivers of the cars. Even when traveling at or below the speed limit there's nothing worse than coming around a blind corner and encountering a moron on a bicycle in the middle of the road. We were traveling with our F250 and travel trailer and almost had several accidents because of these fools. We had to emergency brake FOUR different times to avoid a bike. That's not easy to do when traveling at 35 mph with a 15k pound rig. It doesn't stop on a dime. The people behind us had no idea it was coming and couldn't see anything except our trailer. I'm surprised we didn't have a car in our camper's living room! We even encountered big tour groups of them - including kids no more than SEVEN years old! That the heck are people thinking?! That yellow triangle doesn't make it safe for those kids!! Somebody's gonna get killed. I know if I have to choose between running my family into an oncoming tour bus or hitting a bike - that biker is going under my truck.

I feel like Wile E Coyote looking at all that meat.....mouth watering. If I could only find my bib.

The beauty of Yellowstone will forever amaze me. Love this place so much!

Unforgettable vacation around the national park, photocamera is a must

The views and everything is absolutely beautiful, the service was great, now for the room that we had was a different story, it was extremely small, the bed was uncomfortable , the smell of dust in the room was very strong it could have been since it was the opening weekend of the hotel but unknown. I would highly recommend the snow lodge for a comfort room which is located right behind this one.

In terms of a place to stay, I'd say 3-star. But the experience itself is 4-star. I love historical or old building, it has a rustic cabin feeling. I stay in their "old " section of the building (there are newer one too). Bathroom is shared but it has the touch of luxury, so not that bad honestly.They have great breakfast, they also have musician playing at certain time, friendly staff, you also get a good view of old faithful.I don't give it 5 stars because their fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night at 2am lucky it's not winer. I don't know how often this happens but definitely a minus. I won't stay here in the wintertime for sure.

This is an historic hotel with nice touches but no frills. The lobby is an experience all on its own: vaulted ceiling, live music (violin, piano), large stone fireplace, comfy areas for relaxing. You are right next to the most active geysers in the park and I recommend getting out to see them all, especially early in the morning before it gets crowded. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

I loved everything about staying here! We visited in the summer after the flood, so getting a hotel room was easy and the rates were lower than normal it seemed. You cannot beat the architecture, the quaintness, and the convenience of staying at this hotel. Though the old yellow hotel in the Presidential Suite was the best place we’ve ever stayed here in the park. We camped also. I had bear terrors all night. At Old Faithful I felt safe. If you plan on eating at any restaurants in the park you must have reservations.

Before the Pandemic. My family went on a Vacation on Yellowstone. And we took a tour guide to see Old Faithful at the Old Faithful Inn which is really good experience and I enjoy seeing Old Faithful geyser up. And I also enjoy the tour inside the Old Faithful Inn which is a good architectural of the Old Faithful Inn. And I also got a Cookie which is Gluten Free. So this is one of the best Nature Trip I see. Even though this is a dark difficult time. But when I see the Picture of Old Faithful it will give me hope for a better tomorrow.

Approaching the hotel we saw an impressive log building. The foyer was equally impressive. Unfortunately if fell away after that.They certainly take advantage of their relative isolation and location and charge an exorbitant amount for accommodation- basically a closet that delivered a really poor experience. We booked a queen bed and barely got a double, with tiny flat pillows looking over the back lot of the hotel.Paper thin walls meant a noisy night.The restaurant is a all you can eat abomination that you should stay clear of.A seriously disappointing stay.Go for the experience because that’s all you will get!Would I stay here again? NO! Camp instead and save yourself the expense and disappointment.

This historic inn is awesome! Both grand and cozy at the same time. Our room was an old house queen with private bath, and it was perfect! Clean, comfortable, and so much character. We could even see the geyser basin from our window! I loved hanging out in the lobby and walking right outside to see old faithful, bison, and the upper geyser basin. The bar was great, but I would not recommend eating on site. Bring your own food, and don't come hungry. That was the only downside.

What else can I say other than perfect. As a local I always visit, but I never stayed here. So I decided to try it out and boy was it worth it. When you get your key, someone shows you where your room is for easy access. The beds were very comfy and the view was nice looking down basin. The room was very quiet. It's super convenient, located next to the snow lodge, and only an hour walk to Morning Glory Pool. If you get the opportunity to stay here, please do. You will find your inner peace staying here. A perfect hotel.

This place is so cool! We got one of the "cheap" rooms in the Old House, right off the big historic lobby. This made it noisy until about 10pm, but it quieted quickly. The rooms and beds were nicely furnished. The radiator kept the room toasty; we actually had to open the windows for some cooler air. No private bathroom, but a sink in the room made washing hands and brushing teeth easy. A piano player serenaded with jazz until 10pm, and everyone was helpful.

So seriously no one goes here for the hotel — you go for the geysers!!! But for being built in 1903 there is some major history and wonderment here. The grand lobby is beautiful. The rooms are small and quaint and more than adequate for the little amount of time you are going to spend in them.The staff are friendly and professional and beyond helpful!!!! Go hiking — there are so many wonderful trails to go explore and immerse yourself in all things Yellowstone and Old Faithful!!So yes if you get one of the cheaper rooms — it will NOT include a bathroom. This was not an issue as the community bathrooms were more than satisfactory — we never had issues getting into them for whatever needs — yes the restrooms had private stalls for showers and toilets. They provide robes for you to wear. Bring flip flops!The rooms with private baths were 2.5 times as expensive.

We stayed here in May 2023, very early in the season. The history and nostalgic factor are definitely worth it.Rooms are smaller than average, but your staying in a historic hotel.We stayed in the Old house, which were the first rooms opened in the Inn, there is no I room bathroom, but there are shared bathroom and showers.Things were very clean, they have a free historic tour of the inn, which was very interesting and made the stay even more enjoyable.

DO NOT GO HERE. There was NO communication about what the restaurant was. No one told us that it was a buffet until we sat down. The wait staff were NOT helpful. Our waiter literally just came up to the table and said "I am only here to get you drinks". When we asked for a menu, he said "The buffet is over there, help yourself. But you get a HOT and a COLD beverage included." I'm not sure HOW that was a selling point as all we wanted was water. The food was AWFUL. We could only identify three items there and none of it looked all that edible. We paid $20.00 a plate and only ate half. This was the only terrible experience we had in Yellowstone.

Really neat place to stay. All the pictures are within walking distance of the inn. Just a very cool old building. Don't expect luxury rooms. Rooms are very simple and to the point. But we weren't there to stay in the room. The main lobby and balcony were really nice places to hang out. Very busy place.

Lovely old hotel, with such a great history. We can watch the Old Faithful geyser shoot up from our rooms, or from comfortable porches. We're looking forward to exploring all the nooks and crannies. Loved the live music in the evening.

I would give it 3.5 stars if I could. I had very high expectations for staying at Old Faithful Inn. I love all things National Park and have stayed at or dined at several historical National Park hotels. The history, location, and lobby did not disappoint and are the only aspects why the trip didn't get a lower rating. The room was okay, the service is lacking, and dining was dismal. All while being a super expensive stay. I would look into a different hotel in the park in the future but definitely would never stay at Old Faithful Inn again and would have a hard time recommending it to anyone.

The benefit of staying at this hotel is the location. It is only steps away from Old Faithful and you can also see the famous geyser from the large hotel balcony. We woke up early and walked around the geysers before it got crowded. It made for a memorable trip. It is a older hotel and with a interesting history. We took the tour of the property and enjoyed it quite a bit.We stayed in the "newer" wing on the hotel. The rooms are smaller but adequate and the staff is courteous. It is essentially a two star hotel that with a five star price. You are paying for the location which is hard to beat. I doubt I stay there again, but enjoyed the experience.

Great place to relax and have some snacks/drinks. Recommend trying the huckleberry ice cream. The top deck offers seating with view of the old faithful geyser but make sure to reach ahead of time to get the front row seats.

Best location but the Inn as far as accommodations is nostalgic but still minimalist for the price you pay. On site service is not good at restaurant, food is not good as week considering the average price per person for dinner is about $40pp. Would recommend staying at Snow lodge. Better food, service and rooms unless you really want the nostalgia.

You have to see this place! It’s positively amazing! There’s a tour of it every couple hours starting at the fireplace. I’d suggest spending the day around old faithful geyser. There’s so much to see in this area and so much to learn about the park, its history and the geology of this whole area. We ate lunch at the old faithful inn’s restaurant and it was pretty good. The buffet didn’t look great so we ordered off the menu. Had the bison burger which was good.

We stayed in a 1 Queen Old House room with no bathroom. Hotel was BEAUTIFUL! Room was pretty large, and had a comfortable bed. Big sink in the room. Not having a bathroom was a bit of an inconvenience, but the communal bathrooms were right down the hall and were very clean and updated so it was not a big deal. Highly recommend!

An amazing place. I've heard others seeing it for the first time and can't believe how huge and beautiful the place is. The stone fireplace with a clock. Two floors overlooking the lobby after coming from your room from each wing. An upper deck outside of the second floor to watch Old Faithful and sunrise. Yes there are 2 places to eat, a bar and a gift shop.

Great old time rustic log cabin inn. This lodging more than the others I stayed at in Yellowstone really takes you back in time (Please Note: no WiFi). You can imagine seeing Teddy Roosevelt himself walking the halls.The evening ritual of sitting around the open area facing your fellow travelers while listening to live music is equally amusing to observe as it is to partake. Staying here is truly an experience.

The room was very old and in need of an update, but our main frustration was the lack of food. Given the lodge is in the middle of the park and no where near anything, I would have expected food options available at the hotel. But the options were so limited which meant you couldn't get a reservation. In the morning we ate breakfast at the cafe and it was a very poor standard. Given the cost of this hotel I would expect far better. Such a shame as it has so much potential given the beauty of the main lodge and the location. But certainly can't recommend.

When I found out how much our room cost from my husband I was floored. For $500+ a night, I was expecting something nice. Instead, we were were given a room right next to the exit doors and could hear every step the person made upstairs and didn't sleep. They changed our room with the noise upstairs to a room even tinnier and next to an vending machine.

Okay - there are two separate experiences here. 1) Visiting the Inn and admiring the “parkitecture” and 2) staying in a room here.For visiting, I’d highly recommend the free tours that meet at the fireplace that happen 4-5x/day. The schedule is on a placard near the fireplace. It really is a spectacular building.For staying, I’d recommend NOT here. We were assigned a room in the newest part (built in the 1920s I believe). I felt like the steerage in Titanic getting to that room. Tiny rooms with worn (not simply antique) furniture. The radiator clanked randomly all night and kept waking me up. I slept like poo. For the price point (over $600/night!!) I couldn’t believe the lack of quality.In addition, we were here at the near end of season (late September) and many hotel staff just seemed over it and almost disdainful that the park remained as busy as it was. This is disappointing because for most people visiting Yellowstone & Old Faithful area is a once in a lifetime experience & expenditure.So, visit and spend time at the Inn. Stay elsewhere and save yourself next-day drowsiness and spend the hundreds of dollars you saved on a nice meal or something. Just make sure if you’re in the OF area for dinner you have reservations!

I have not stayed here but took a tour of this place when I visited the park.The Old Faithful Inn is a true gem within Yellowstone National Park, offering visitors a unique and unforgettable lodging experience. This historic lodge, dating back to 1904, combines rustic charm with breathtaking natural surroundings to create an enchanting atmosphere.Upon arrival, you're immediately struck by the inn's impressive architecture, featuring a massive log structure with towering ceilings and a grand stone fireplace in the lobby. The scent of aged timber and the crackling of the fire evoke a sense of nostalgia, transporting you to a bygone era of wilderness exploration.In the tour, I got a glimpse of some of the rooms, they are all designed with a rustic aesthetic that complements the park's surroundings. While the rooms may not offer modern luxuries like flat-screen TVs or air conditioning, they provide a genuine sense of immersion in the natural world of Yellowstone.One of the inn's most cherished features is the spectacular view it offers of Old Faithful Geyser. Many rooms and the lobby provide front-row seats to the geyser's regular eruptions, allowing guests to witness this geological wonder from the comfort of their lodgings.It's worth noting that, due to its popularity, securing reservations at the Old Faithful Inn can be a challenge, especially during peak tourist seasons. However, the experience is well worth the effort, offering a true taste of history and the wilderness that defines Yellowstone National Park.In conclusion, the Old Faithful Inn is a historic treasure nestled within one of America's most iconic national parks. It offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the park's natural beauty while enjoying the rustic charm of a bygone era. If you're seeking an unforgettable lodging experience in Yellowstone, this inn should be at the top of your list.

Do the 2 hour ride.My family of 5 and an aunt/uncle did the 3 hour ride in June 2021. The website made it seem like there would be spectacular sites and views. It was really just a walk through the woods. 2 hours of looking at evergreens would have been enough. The entire ride looked identical to the photos attached to this review.They did not permit us to dismount at all until the end of the ride. Our one guide was in the front and completely oblivious when our horses were fighting each other or trying to knock off kids by walking under low branches. I was surprised that each group didn’t have a guide in front and back.My kids loved the experience and the horses, but they would have been fine with 2 hours. The guide was nice and a good rider. We did not have time to stay and play in the lake. That did look fun.

This was a beautiful trail ride. I only have 4 stars because I was frustrated by the lack of organization. We ended up being almost 45 mins late starting our ride because of others showing up late. We also had to stop for others who had no riding experience because they were freaking out about riding. I wish there had been an advanced rider area and a newbie riding area. That would have been much nicer. The guides were great and very aware that families wanted to be together.

Had a great time on the trial today. We had Tucker and Lexi for our guides. Good two hour ride that was great for the experienced riders as well as the younger/first time riders.Great views and peaceful atmosphere makes for a great time with the family. Plenty of gentle/easy horses for the riders that may be fishy.

Or guide, Gelsey, was amazing riding back and forth to check on everyone in our group. The horses had their own special personalities, but were all very gentle. Great experience for our family!

Eagle ridge ranch has some of the most amazing scenery. Their horse ride don’t involve any harsh trails so it is super family friendly. Knowing the Angell family I can tell you they are very respectful and really care for the people they are around. If there is ever a problem they will work with you to resolve it!

Terrific, family friendly and fun experience with their horses. The staff was respectful, helpful, kind and very informative. They did a great job of matching our experience level with their horses. The trails was beautiful, serene and lovely. We did not run into a lot of wildlife, but did see a fox. A great way to spend an early afternoon!

All of the people here were extremely friendly. They made us feel at home and we're super helpful with all the new riders.

Excellent ride for family trip. We had 9 people in our party ranging from 9yrs old to adults. The horses were beautiful and well controlled. My 9yr with minimal experience was able to command the horse and felt comfortable. The scenery was beautiful. We did a 2 hr ride and it was very cost effective as well. The staff was very knowledgeable and personable. We had a great time!

My cousins and I had a great time horseback riding with the Eagle Ridge Ranch crew. We had Chrissie as our guide. She was super nice and answered all our questions we had about our horses. It was an enjoyable experience and if I were to come back to visit I would go with them to go horseback riding.

My husband and I did the two hour ride and Cowboy dinner and we had a really great time! We also paid extra to have the water activities added and we highly recommend that! Such a great deal! We could have spent the whole day there. Our tour guides Michael and Jessica were also super fun! We'd love to come out again next time we're up here!

We had the best day riding and enjoying the ranch! The guides Jessica and Michael were informative and patient. The horses were well cared for and well trained. My sweet guy was Trigger and my 7 year old was on Spirit. The views were spectacular! I enjoyed the open views as well as the streams and beautiful trees. My 3 year old really enjoyed her short ride on Digger with my husband leading her around and then fishing and petting ALL the horses after. We did the cowboy dinner and the food was really good. Highly recommend!

The 3-hour morning ride was fantastic, it was relaxing and well worth it. There is plenty of wildlife in the area, just be on the lookout. The horses are very well behaved and will follow one another. Every horse is unique and is selected based on your experience and willingness to accept a challenge. Our guide Lexi was wonderful, she is very knowledgeable and kind. She even let me lead the group of horses on the second half of the journey with Cherokee! I was a completely inexperienced rider, but I highly recommend this activity for both beginners and more experienced riders. Thank you for the amazing journey!

We had an awesome time on our 2hr horseback ride. Everyone that we met was super nice. They gave me a beautiful paint horse named Buzz to ride. He was super smart and strong. We saw an elk and several mule deer during our ride. It was a lot of fun.

Grand Prismatic Springs was by far the highlight of my trip through Yellowstone!The entire boardwalk loop around the whole thing just left you awestruck by its natural beauty. The vibrant array of colors was surreal to see in person and the photos captured by your cameras will probably never do it full justice.There were also plenty of local guides to give you pertinent information as you make your way around the loop. Parking was a nightmare however but that was to be expected I suppose...

It's a good stop with a boardwalk (no railings) running around the different pools. However, much of their beauty is found from above so to truly get a great view, you need to hike a separate trail to the Grand Prismatic Springs overlook, starting at Fairy Falls parking lot.

Amazing place with Incredible view of the Grand Prismatic Spring! 😍 Definitely recommend doing the small hike to the Overlook for amazing captures. All the smaller pools are photogenic areas as well.

I’m sure it is gorgeous in summer, but if you are going in winter, you may not be able to even see it due to steam coming off of it. The boardwalk out to it is nice and easy to walk.

If you are visiting the most magical National Park the. You must stop at Grand Prismatic Springs to check out the amazing colors and hot spring pools. You can get great pictures from the boardwalk or there is a trail head that leads you up about a mile hike to a great view for better views. YOU MUST STAY ON THE BOARDWALK. These are very delicate ecosystems and when you walk on them it destroys them or worse yourself. And remember if you see wildlife stay a minimum of 25 yards away.

Beautiful... short hike to see the grand prismatic spring from the top... the only thing is it is really crowded from 9am to 12 pm... plus since it has been raining there are a lot of mosquitos so take your bug spray! But beautiful 😍

The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Its vibrant, rainbow-like colors against the backdrop of the natural surroundings are a sight to behold. What makes the experience even more special is the short hike that leads you to an elevated viewpoint, offering a breathtaking perspective of this geological wonder. Walking along the boardwalk and gazing down at the brilliantly hued waters is a mesmerizing experience. It's a must-see natural wonder that showcases the incredible beauty and geothermal wonders of Yellowstone. Don't miss the opportunity to witness this stunning marvel of nature and take that short hike for an even more memorable view when visiting the park.

Wonderful place. Take the small hike to see it from the top.

Recommend getting there around 9am, hike to the falls passed the springs. By the time you return the morning mist and the like will have burned off and the view of the spring will be best. The colors are just as the pics show, very vibrant and unique. We even saw a bison and other wildlife which was a bonus.

Near Old Faithful Geyser. Don't miss this place! Time of day, season, water flow and weather effects the coloration. Don't expect the colors that you see on postcards.

Words cannot explain this magical place. Worth doing board walk along with the Fairy Falls overlook (1 mile round trip, pretty easy hike). Parking is bit tricky but doable.Always prefer post noon visit as in the morning the visibility is low.

It was an okay crowd in the afternoon and would suggest to park on the road and walk to here. To get the absolute mesmerizing view, do the Prismatic Overlook loop by parking near Fairy Falls trailhead.

Grand Prismatic Spring can be described as a gigantic painting, a masterpiece by nature. It has a massive deep blue center like a gemstone surrounded by radiant red, golden, and brown color corona. The colors and pattens shift constantly depending on how light is shining, and as fog comes and goes. It is best to start by taking-in an aerial view from Fairly Falls trail. And then experience it up and close from the boardwalk; it’s entrance is located a short drive from the falls. Afternoon sun is the best time as it burns off fog and the fiery colors are in full display. We would go there again in a heartbeat.

Must visit place in Yellowstone National park. Full of steamy water with mineral deposits in different colors. Unique experience to view these hot streams. Crowd and mostly need to go in line on wooden path.

One of my favorite places to visit while visiting Yellowstone is Grand Prismatic Spring.Just stunning views and the colors are just unbelievable. Takes my breath away each time.A long line of cars to enter each time for the parking spots, but well worth the wait to get into the area to see the Grand Prismatic Spring.

Absolutely stunning. If you must see only one thing in Yellowstone, this is it!! This is hands down my favorite place in the park.Pro Tip: parking is a cluster. Park on the roadside before getting there and walk the rest of the way there.

Beautiful. Only detractors were a) the idiots within arm's reach of a buffalo didn't get gored, and b) every single RV/bus parking spot was taken by a single car. No doubt about it, beauty draws the absolute worst amongst us.

Go midday when it's sunny!!The tips are spot-on. As our pics show, we first went on a rainy day. The boardwalk view was only steam. Then we hiked up to the viewpoint on a sunny day - right as a storm was moving in, but before it rained. Incredible!

Kids will love this place... if they are into bears, wolves or wildlife in general. The animals are active under normal conditions, even if sleeping, you can see something. Gift shop has a ton of neat stuff, if you want. There is even a little play ground if your little one gets board with everything else. I think the Bald Eagles need a little more space and the fish and otter sanctuary is very cool! If you have a few hours to spend, this is an easy choice! Enjoy!

While staying in West Yellowstone, we visited the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center. Tickets allow you to visit over a two day period. There are several enclosures featuring wolves, grizzly bears, and other wildlife. These allow excellent viewing and photography while providing animals a natural environment. Diligent attention is given to the care of animals at the center. The staff are knowledgeable and gladly respond to questions, including why each animal is there.

We enjoyed our stop here. The bears were engaging and active. The owls were neat and awesome to see. The otters are always cute and fun to watch. The small squirrels were entertaining as well. The wolves were pretty to see.

Best place to visit to see Grizzly bears and wolves. For those who don’t camp don’t get a chance to see the mighty grizzly bears and wolves, so this is the right place to see them. The discovery centre has an entry fee $16 per adult and can be visited anytime within 24hrs from purchasing the ticket. They also demo how to use bear spray, bear habitat and how to handle the situation in case of contact with bears. (Should be booked early to book the slot). The entrance shows a display of bears, their first encounters, life cycle, museum kind of and then we enter into their live habitat where u see bears, wolves, raptors, otters, and squirrels (other species) that undergo hibernation.It also has shopping area to purchase various items.

An absolute must-see when you visit West Yellowstone! The staff, facilities, and "residents," ie, the grizzlies, wolves, otters, ground squirrels, et al, happily co-exist. We enjoyed a remarkably excellent visit during the first week in April.

This is an amazing sanctuary for bears that are impacted by human conflict. This center educates on how to prevent bear interaction with humans. One of the most enlightening demonstrations is "camping in bear country" where they set up a typical tent scenario and let the bears do what they do. The wolf packs are beautiful, they are adding new areas for the animals to enjoy. The entrance pass is good for entry for 2 days.

It was a really nice place. I was visiting from Alberta and making it to the discovery Center was on my list. It close to closing time (late afternoon) so the wolves were a bit more active which was nice. The bears were also out and about and we got see them feed I also got to see a demonstration on how to properly use bear spray. I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in west Yellowstone. I also got to see some birds of prey. It's non-profit so that is also a good reason to support the center.

This is a fun place, and my 9 year old really enjoyed it. It's pretty small, but the bear habitat is really cool. They do a great job of keeping the animals active, which is more than I can say for most zoo type places. My son enjoyed getting to go into the bear habitat to hide food (small additional cost-no bears present😄). I would give it 5 stars, but it's just too small. They are expanding, so maybe in the future, I'll be able to bump it up a star!

Incredible experience! Very affordable! You get to see live bears, wolves, a hawk, two bald eagles, and some otters! This is a great activity if you have children as well, around mid-day they have an activity where children can hide food in the exhibit (with the bears put away of course) and then once everyone is out, they can watch the bears look for their food! One price for the whole day! Smaller museum inside as well and more activities outside.

My family with small kids stopped here on our last day at Yellowstone. It was a nice visit to see the animals they care for at this rescue. The bear habitat is very impressive. They rotate which bears are in the enclosure regularly. Each time the bears come in, they are looking for the food hidden by the caretakers, which is very interesting to watch. The eagles, owls and hawks were fun to spot, as their natural camouflage hid them from plain sight.The display of trash cans and coolers that bears broke into was really interesting, especially to see how they did it.We spent about an hour there and were able to see all the exhibits.

This was a wonderful place to see the Montana wildlife. The parks people are very knowledgeable and friendly. I felt like we had our own guid. It was amazing.Such beautiful creatures G-d created. Thanks to this place, these beautiful animals have a safe place to be while healing and if orfened.

The Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center is a not-for-profit wildlife park and educational facility which opened in 1993 that is located in West Yellowstone, MT. It is open 365 days a year. They have rehabilitated animals and lots of bears and wolves that they rotate every few hours through various outdoor displays. They also have giant aquariums for local river and lake displays. Some include local fish; otters; etc.; dioramas; etc. The displays, dioramas, etc. are spread out among different buildings and outside areas and have excellent descriptions. A great organization to visit and support.

One of the smaller AZA accredited sanctuaries but worth the visit. Of course the bears and wolves are main animals which are well taken care of. They change up their environment constantly to stimulate the animals and create similar changes they would experience in the wild. If you don’t see them out, just move on to another area or wait 15 minutes. We went in the afternoon around 3:30 and shortly after they fed the animals which was cool to see, they would hide the food to keep animals active and to interact with changes in environment. Workers were very educated as well ready to answer questions.

Such a fun time! We didn't see much in the park as far as animals go, so I'm glad we got to see these Grizzly bears! The wolves were just lounging so we only saw their fur lumps and an occasional head lift. The Grizzly bears are just another thing-amazing!

This is a GREAT place! Our family stopped here on our way into Yellowstone and really enjoyed our visit. The exhibit and habitats are excellent and there is a LOT of areas to view the animals. They have several rescue animals and include otters, birds of prey (golden and bald eagles, owls, etc.) In addition to the grizzlies and wolves. Weather does NOT affect your ability to see the animals and they have covered areas to keep you dry or shaded. An awesome facility, totally worth the visit. Pass is good for 2 consecutive days so save your receipt!

We really loved this place. We got there right when it opened at 9:00am on a Saturday and that was a good call because it got busy pretty quickly by about 9:30am. All the wolves were active when we first got there which was interesting to watch. They were all just lying around by the time we left. The grizzly bears were awesome we saw 3. They rotate them in and out and let them forage for food that they hid. The zoo keepers are great and provide information on the animals while you view them. The aquarium area with the otters is amazing but gets crowded fast. We had it to ourselves for a while since we got there early. Overall very nice facility with great information on animals. Also they give AAA auto club member discounts on general admission. It was $15.50 for an adult and $10.50 for a child. Definitely a must see for the wolves and grizzlies up close if you are into animals.

A must see of you are in West Yellowstone! A great not for profit taking care of these animals in a wonderful setting! You get to see Bears, Wolves, Otters and some other wildlife up close and active. Such a nice facility. We enjoyed it very much.

This place was amazing. My niece loved seeing the wolves, owls, and otters. The bears were so big, but a little too boring for her liking. The entire facility is fascinating. I learned a lot about bears and wolves. My niece, who is very conservative with her money. Informed me, " These gift shop prices are too expensive, $25 for a $10 stuff animal, they crazy."

Beautiful Facility with stunning animals with such personalities it'll make your day. I had work in Rexberg but took the trip out there and between the staff and the animals, it was a fantastic experience. Even in Winter, It had a magic and warming feeling. I would highly recommend to come check out the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center!!

We really do enjoy going here every time we go to yellowstone. There's a museum that you walk through that has stuffed bears, bear facts, and interactive screens where you can learn about bears and a small theatre to learn about wolves and bears. The wolves are usually only on the far left side, and are all out. but they are pretty and look well taken care of. The Bear exhibit only has one bear out at a time, but it's interesting to listen to what these bears would do in the wild and how they simulate that here. The otters are cute but the most I've ever seen are 2. Gift shop is expensive but it has some unique gifts. I definitely recommend it! 🐻 🐻‍❄

This place is amazing! I loved seeing the fauna there! Otters, fish, birds of prey, wolves, bears..Oh my!! The staff people we spoke to were nice and informative. The details provided about the bears were educational. I don't know if this was a default condition, but when we purchased our tickets, we were informed we could use them for the next day, as well, which is a great value! Keep up the good work!PS: The only thing I found a little odd/funny was, one of the caps there had the establishment's name on it, but a silhouette of an otter was on the cap, not a grizzly or wolf 😄

We woke up to the wolves howling, it was awesome! The wolves were adorable, the bears were showing off for us, and the birds were just chilling. The otters were some of the cutest animals we've seen in captivity in a long time. The bears were all saved from stupid humans and the birds were all injured and now live here. The gift shop was nice, get a picture with the big stuffed bear!

All-around awesome! The bears were playing, and the otters were super cute and adventurous. The wolves slept the whole time, which was lame but still neat! The facility is handicap friendly as well unless there is ice.

We visited the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery center after the recommendation from one of our other tour guides, and were so happy to have made the choice to do so! It was really interesting and informative to learn about the stories of the animals that were there and to learn more about those animals in general. The naturalists and staff were helpful and knowledgeable, and the mission of the center is so important.

Mesmerizing experience. I came during winter so everything was frozen, but even then you can still the scenic beauty and geological marvels. The lake's history adds a layer and reminder of the magnitude of mother nature.

If you are anywhere close, passing by or while visiting West Yellowstone, make it a point to stop here. Your visit, including the short video will be around an hour or so. The history, the forces of Mother Nature, the earth, death, destruction, and the heroism of humanity are experienced here. The place is hallowed ground. Visit and you will understand.

Interesting story about this lake and how it was once a river with campgrounds until an earthquake turned it into a lake and buried many campers below.

Phenomenal little lake with a tragic history. Interesting feeling; foating next to the tip of a 200 foot ponderosa pine.....

Earthquake Lake is the result of an 7.5 magnitude of earthquake struck on August 17, 1959 in Hebgen Lake. It is 6 miles in length with a maximum depth of 125 feet. The beautiful scenary of the lake will captivate your mind. There is a visitor center displaying a Memorial from the earthquake with a plaque of the names of the 28 people who died and the events of the earthquake.

Very fascinating and sad about families. Mother Nature is unpredictable.

YES, this place is worth visiting, both in summer and in winter! If you are traveling to Yellowstone National Park, make the effort to go a bit out of your way to Earthquake Lake! It takes a little while to drive to, but it is a very unique place!Earthquake Lake was formed not too long ago by one of the most powerful earthquakes in recent Yellowstone history. A landslide occurred, blocking off a river, and the area began to flood. Many people camping by the river died from this event unfortunately, and yet the lake is still here, decades later.Earthquake Lake is so unusual as it still has many of the trunks from trees poking out of the water. These trees used to be on dry land alongside the river, but when it flooded, they died, and just the trunks remain. Also be sure to head up through the pass to see toward Idaho - if you’re there at sunset, it amounts for some beautiful photos.There is a visitor center, gift shop, ample parking, some hiking trails, and various turnouts along the road so you can get some pictures of the lake. It’s worth visiting - I really like it here!

Interesting place. Looks pretty in the winter. Lot of snow.

Visited Quake Lake in August 2019 during hols to YNP and GTNP.Though scarred by a tragic event back in 1959 it's amazing to see with own eyes how nature can have its own way. Highly recommend to visit the Lake plus the Lake Memorial Museum.👌

This is an amazing place with a scary and tragic story amazing the power and destruction mother Earth can leave you can visit the visiting center or use Google and create your tour and hike the lake shore the old trees are eerie as well as the small town on the bottom.

This is a beautiful place with a magnificent history and stunning scenery! The lake was formed by the quake of 59' that shook the region and changed the landscape. It is a beautiful drive toward Ennis, Montana to dig for garnets and gold in Nevada City or from Ennis toward West Yellowstone, the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park. My boys have found petrified wood and lots of quartz crystals here. Even a couple arrowheads. We leave them here but they are still fun to find.

Nice scenery. But the trout fishing was not good.
