What is the best time of year to visit Utah?
Each season in Utah offers visitors something unique and the best time to visit really depends on what you plan to do while there. Spring and fall have the most comfortable temperatures for hiking and mountain biking. Winter boasts epic conditions for skiing in the high country, and the least amount of tourists in the national parks. Not to mention the opportunity to see some of the iconic landscapes dusted in snow.
And summer generally tends to be an easy time for people to make travel plans. It’s also the perfect weather for exploring Lake Powell in the South. We visited Utah during the month of June, and while we had very hot temperatures during the day (especially in Moab), we were still able to do everything we wanted to.
How long should I plan to spend in Utah?
We’d recommend at least a week if you want to visit all of the Mighty 5 National Parks, to experience Park City during the ski season, or spend time on a houseboat on Lake Powell. We think 10 – 12 days would be ideal for a road trip around the state and would allow you to see some sights outside of the parks as well!
