The Discover Gateway is another fascinating stop you should try to visit while staying at your vacation rental in Utah. It’s a museum made just for kids, with more than 60,000 square feet of fun exhibitions, artifacts, educational rooms and the sort of brain-growing info you’ll want your kids to have all day long.

Having your own vacation rental in Utah will make it easy to get the most out of this beautiful place. Make it your own adventure and a time your loved ones will never forget.

Want to unwind with a little culture? The Natural History Museum of Utah in Salt Lake City houses more than 1.2 million artifacts and specimens. Learn about the cultures and traditions of Utah’s recognised tribes, as well as Utah's natural history.

Music and arts are also a big feature in Park City, where every August world-renowned music, arts, plays, symphony concerts and Sundance film screenings are held at the Artsravaganza. Located in the heart of Main Street, the Egyptian Theater Company also presents musicals and dramas.

There's plenty to experience with a vacation home in Utah. Go mountain biking along the trails of America’s finest national parks. In Arches and Zion, you had better have your camera ready, as you’ll find brilliant colors punctuating your view throughout the day. The famous past of the Mormon Church is written all over Salt Lake City, but the history of Utah goes even further. Some of the earliest settlers left petroglyphs (rock engravings) and the mountains hide ancient geological secrets that tell the story of the Earth's formation.

Driving along Highway 89 is a super scenic experience. It is 502 miles of pure beauty. You’ll come across wide open spaces of the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, and historic sites. Blossoming orchards along the way give the country its charm, while farmers plow fields where ponies contentedly graze. Life in Utah is slow and satisfying.

Make Salt Lake City your base for your Utah vacation home, and drive to Provo River Canyon for another spectacular view. The Provo River Parkway runs for 15 miles, from Utah Lake State Park, to Vivian Park. It ends with the sensational Bridal Veil Falls. Stop here to take photographs — you won’t regret it! Then, at Bryce Canyon National Park, admire the wildlife. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot roaming elk, deer, and birds in their natural habitat.

If you're planning a winter trip, Utah has prime snow conditions, and the best ski spots can be found at Big Cottonwood Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon. Both are less than an hour’s drive away from Utah’s capital, Salt Lake City. With many pistes situated in close proximity to one another, skiers can enjoy several locations in a single day. At the end of a long day on the slopes, you'll love having a warm and welcoming vacation home to return to.

To experience Utah’s diverse landscape, take to the state's countless hiking trails. With five National Parks, two Recreational Areas and many breathtaking mountains, there are plenty of spectacular trails. Take to the West Rim Trail in Zion National Park, or the Uinta Mountains located off Mirror Lake Highway.

Experience Utah by taking a scenic drive through the state's byways and admire the untouched scenic paranomas. The most popular routes are through Dead Horse Point, which looks down on Canyonlands National Park, and the Green/Colorado River, but there are dozens of picturesque routes to choose from. Pick up an official Utah highway map where byways are indicated with dotted lines.
