5 Stunning Utah State Parks Without the National Park Crowds

"Escalante Petrified Forest is among the most underrated Utah state parks. It offers hiking, technical routes for rock climbers, and mountain biking. Notable features include the one-mile Petrified Forest loop through ancient lava trails and a visitors center with petrified dinosaur bones and shell fossils. The park also has a pretty reservoir popular for canoeing, paddle boarding, and fishing."
