From Zion National Park’s iconic red rock formations, to Arches National Park’s stunning sandstone arches, you’ll find a variety of summer activities in Utah National Parks.
Whether you’re looking for an adventurous hike or a relaxing float down a river, there are plenty of fun things to do while exploring the incredible natural wonders at Utah’s National Parks in the summer.
Arches Timed Entry tickets are required during the summer months from 7am to 4pm. You can still visit Arches even if you don’t have a ticket! Just plan to get into the park before 6 am or after 5pm.
Due to the higher elevation, Bryce Canyon National Park in the summer isn’t as hot as the other Utah National Parks! Enjoy hiking, biking, camping, and horseback riding!
To make the most of all the Canyonlands summer activities, we recommend you spend a day at Island in the Sky and a day at Needles. Rafting the Colorado River is a great way to enjoy Canyonlands in the summer!
