Northern Arizona Offers Vacation Getaway Ideas
Summer is approaching with lots of opportunities for fun vacation spots. Northern Arizona has many breathtaking scenic places such as the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Navajo Nation, Hopi Mesas, and the Wild West town of Williams, Arizona.
Pictures can't compare to seeing the Grand Canyon in person. There are many ways to see it. Visitors can take flight in a helicopter or plane tour. Hikers can hike down the trails or ride a mule down and back up. Visitors can camp at the top and or do day hikes. Brave visitors can go on the Sky Walk, a half circle glass path over hanging on the Grand Canyon so guests can see far beneath their feet.
Lake Powell is another gorgeous place with miles of slot canyons, beach, and water to explore. See Lake Powell by plane or houseboat and further explore by canoe, jet ski, or smaller boats. With varying water levels and its massive size, Lake Powell is a different experience each time you come back. 2010 marks the Rainbow Bridge Centennial with 100 years of Rainbow Bridge being a National Monument. It's one of the largest natural bridges in the world.
The Navajo Nation lives up to its name with 27,000 square miles and the biggest reservation in America. The Navajo Nation has fascinating culture, art, history, and scenic views. People can see historic petroglyphs, ruins, and national monuments such as Canyon de Chelly and Navajo National Monument in Monument Valley.
Hopi has a hotel near Tuba City, Arizona called the Moenkopi Legacy Inn and Suites. From there guests can arrange guided tours of the villages and Hopi lands. Hopi is one of the oldest continually inhabited places in North America, dating back to 900 A.D.
Williams is the gateway to the Grand Canyon and the last Wild West town in the southwest. Look around and you'll see cowboys and friendly folk on the historic Route 66. While it has modern, clean accommodations, you'll know you're in a mountain village. Take the Grand Canyon Railway from Williams to the Grand Canyon; watch out, it's a wild ride!

Utah's Best State Parks and Recreation Areas
Utah is the mecca for outdoor excursions and vacations. Since about 80 percent of the state is set aside for public use, there is plenty of land available for use by residents and tourists looking for outdoor adventure. Utah provides 47 state parks, 5 national parks, 7 national monuments, 2 national recreation areas, and 6 national forests to explore. What's great about living or traveling to Utah is that the mountains and other recreation areas are just minutes from the bustling city. With a wide variety of climates and topography, ranging from 13,000 foot mountains in the north to deep canyons and gorges as low as 3,000 feet, Utah can fit any recreation need. Here are some of the tops parks and recreation areas in Utah.
o Bear Lake - Located in Northern Utah, this lake has pristine, warm water in the summer perfect for boating all day. It also has various hiking and biking trails nearby and local entertainment for the night.
o Big Cottonwood Canyon - Also located in the north, this canyon is great for rock climbing for all skill levels, well as containing plenty of places for mountain biking or road cycling. If a relaxing trip is your desire, there are plenty of campsites and places for fishing as soon as the summer months come around. In the winter, ski and snowboard resorts such as Solitude Resort and Brighton Resort are available for the beginner to Olympic athlete.
o Zion National Park - Southwest Utah is probably the most popular and well-known part of the state. This area has access to beautiful arches perfect for hiking and biking. Best of all, you can pick a camping spot and try it all. There is plenty of activity in this area, from canyoneering, rock climbing, mountain biking, and white water rafting.
o Lake Powell - Located in the southern end of Utah's border, Lake Powell is a fun vacation spot for a few days or a few weeks. You can camp right on the beach or bring or rent a houseboat for as long as you wish to stay. Although the nearby town isn't very big, the seemingly limitless water, the canyons, and high cliffs for diving are ideal for a summer getaway.
Now that you know some of the hot spots in Utah, pick your recreation or sport of choice that you want to try and head to the top Utah parks and recreation areas this year for a vacation you won't soon forget and will want to repeat year after year.
