When we think that the city has the quality of a “story book”, we will probably present images of those classic average communities of the era that are still flourishing throughout Europe. But in the Utah, the concept of a stories city is of different meaning. Here, at Beehive State, while some cities may contain a random fabulous structure, true magic comes from the stunning nature. From seemingly endless desert panoramas to stunning mountain backgrounds, as well as this widespread red soil, there is a unique charm of these smaller communities of Utah, which causes a gone era when cowboys, prospect and pioneers walk in the West, looking for a place to where to call home. Learn more with our list of six of the best urban books in Utah.
Springdale
Springdale’s magic is rooted in its location near the entrance of Zion National Park. Served as a portal to the grand rock rocks of the park, the sights from all over the country descend to this city to view nearly 230 square miles of picturesque paths. Most adventures will start at the Canyon Canyon Visitor Center, where they can take cards and check the park’s graphics. For a particularly magical experience, register for one of the programs for the parking park for the night sky guide tour.
The city’s main street is a delight to explore. Surrounded by those healthy red rock walls that seem to change in color and tone as the day progresses, you will want to wander through pedestrian paths as you explore this perfect community. For an extra dose of magic, a time when your visit coincides with the Zion Canyon Music Festival, held at the end of September and a hive of musicians, performers, arts suppliers and food stands. For the top of the Old West, head to the nearby town of Ghost Town, where the rest of the buildings will let you feel as if you were back in time.
In the middle
Situated in Pretty Heber Valley just 50 minutes away from Salt Lake City, Midway certainly boasts a fairy tale as a quality thanks to its European style architecture. To get the true taste of the Swiss roots of this nice city, visit time for the weekend of Labor Day. If you do, you will participate in the popular city days in the city with his live music, craft suppliers and traditional food demonstrations, all concentrated around the city center area. Visit any time of the year and enjoy the euro pastry at the canned can at Midway Swiss Days and maybe even join a guide for a deeper diving in the Swiss influence of the city.
Midway is the most magical one, but in the winter months, when the snow settles on the surrounding peaks, giving the architecture of hotels in Swiss style to hotels and other commercial buildings. It is also a great time to visit the famous Midway Ice castles, grand creations, including hand -placed ice ice spaces with LED lighting that produce a truly magical setting. The city’s call is further improved by the surrounding provinces, with the Wasatch Mountain offering tourism, camping and golf. The nearby Homestead crater, a geothermal hot spring in the limestone dome, is another mandatory visit (and yes, you can swim in it).
Heber City
For those who remember classic children’s books for stories like Polar Express or Thomas TankHeber City is a mandatory visit. Here you will find the Heber Valley Railway, a year-round attraction that takes the passengers to drive Choo-choo to Vintage Coaches through the beautiful province. And if this is not enough magic, special thematic excursions such as the pumpkin train in October and the North Pole Express at Christmastime provide a fun experience for both young and old.
The Heber Center is also quite special, especially when summer concerts are held on the city square. For a dose of cowboy culture, visit at the end of October, when Western Music and Cowboy Poetry Gathering Heber Valley celebrates the history of the area’s ranch through musical performances and poetry readings. For outdoor entertainment, head to the nearby Deer Creek tank for water sports such as boats, kayaks and paddles or enjoy a fishing area on the Provo River. When the snow flies, you can look at the landscape covered while enjoying skiing.
Man
MOAB attracts a steady flow of travelers because of its location near the majestic arches and Canyonlands national parks. Its central street has tour operators specializing in off -road paths, river rafting and adventures of mountain bicycles, their excursions easy sales thanks to the magical background of the city of high rock formations and these endless blue sky. If you own a jeep (or want to rent one for the case), the April Easter Jeep Safari has organized paths along the famous Slickrock in the area and attracts off -road enthusiasts from around the world.
Far from the main parks, destinations like the La Sal Mountain Loop Road mountain offer incredible views of wooden peaks in one direction and the desert plateau in the other. Dead Horse Point State Park also provides a popular photo of the photo of its Colorado River. Cultural events, such as the Moab Music Festival, usually held from late August to early September, is another great time to visit for those who enjoy concerts at The Great Outdoors.
Canab
Located in southern Utah and intensifies against the state border with Arizona, Canab is known for its proximity to large natural attractions, including the Bryce Canyon and the northern edge of the Grand Canyon. But for anyone who has ever watched a western movie or television show, true magic stems from being a favorite local Hollywood movie for decades. The surrounding sandbox formations turned out to be the perfect background for classic cowboy films, a fact celebrated at the Museum of Little Hollywood, where parts of old film kits can be seen. Situated in an old mansion, which seems to be popping out of the pages of a classic tale, the Heritage House Museum of Canaba has exhibits for the architecture of the area, as well as its cultural heritage.
For a truly magical experience, February sees that the Kanab Balloons & Tunes circle is coming to town. About 40 hot air balloons are involved, providing a colorful performance as they swim up and above the rough landscapes to the accompaniment of live music and festival atmosphere. Other magical moments can enjoy Peek-A-Boo Canyon and Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, both nearby and offering a guide trips throughout the year.
Cedar City
The University House of Southern Utah, Cedar City is a mandatory visit for those looking for a place at Old-England. Visit from late June to October for a chance to participate in the Utah Shakespeare Festival, a Bard holiday, which includes theater productions in Campus and outside places. They are also offered fascinating backstairs tours and seminars. The magnificently designed Museum of Arts in southern Utah is also a big towing, and even if you do not enter, its exterior canyon is certainly worthy of photo and will not be in a scientific fiction history.
Do you prefer an outdoor storytelling setting? Focus on the National Cedar Breaks Monument, where Mother Nature created a grand and magical natural amphitheater. Cedar City also hosts a great celebration on July fourth, complemented by a parade and fireworks, while the Cedar Livestock & Heritage Festival in October emphasizes the traditions of the ranch in the area with exhibits and events.
