For thrill-seekers

Keep an eye out for the narrow rim and lookout trails that make Canyonlands National Park one of the most gratifying hiking experiences in the state (and trust us, there's tough competition). Utah's largest park also offers endless mesas, cliffs, rivers, pine trails, and, yes, canyons, for mountain bikers as well as those four-wheeling it. And if you really want to rough it, look into the park's diverse campgrounds, each with their own scenery. (Admission: $30 per vehicle.)
