If you love the outdoors in Winter, this is the ultimate activities list for you: Here are 6 things to try to lap up Utah’s legendary Winter weather.
Snowshoeing
Not all Winter activities have to take place on the slopes. Sometimes, waking up early to watch the sunrise over the mountains in the Wasatch range is the perfect little wake-up call you need.
Snowshoeing is a peaceful activity that the whole family can enjoy, and there will be plenty of picture-worthy moments along the way. Grab your coats, boots, hiking kit, and check out this guide for the best spots to venture to this Winter.
Snow tubing
While some of you might be total skiing experts, but not everyone is as confident. For kids, and adults who don’t fancy taking to the slopes on two legs, tubing is the activity for you. Is there anything better than sliding down the slopes, laughing along the way?
Those that are excited to get out in the snow, but don’t fancy waking up at the crack of dawn for a leisurely hike, will absolutely love tubing. If you’re heading to Utah this Winter, make sure to check out the tubing facilities at Woodward Park, the Cherry Peak Resort, and Brian Head.
Cross Country Skiing
Of course, one of the best activities for soaking up the Winter in Utah is cross country skiing. Whether you’re a local resident, or someone traveling into the state for the holidays, don’t worry about having to pack all your equipment into a tiny carryall. Park City Mountain Resort ski rental deliver so you can attempt skiing or snowboarding without the huge initial investment.
With millions of acres to explore in Utah’s forests, there’s a different location to try every day. Park City is a popular place to ski, but there’s plenty of other resorts to consider, like Bryce Canyon and the Manti-La Sal Mountains in the South.
Ice Castles
Midway’s Ice Castles are a great little trip for the whole family. Every year, artists from the local area create magical castles and sculptures out of individual icicles and light them up with rainbow LEDs. The end result is truly wonderful.
If you’ve not already sorted out plans for your 2021 greeting card family photo, the Ice Castles are a high contender for the perfect backdrop.
Sundance film festival
For those not keen on the cold, there are still plenty of activities to get involved with indoors. The Sundance Film Festival is the perfect place to enjoy some of the best storytelling that cinema has to offer. For over 30 years, Park City, Ogden, and the Sundance Mountain Resort have been hosting the festival at different venues, with something to suit everyone in the family.
Homestead Crater
Another one for the sun babies. If you prefer to enjoy the warm waters of summer vacation, you’ll love escaping to the geothermal waters of the Homestead Crater. Dive or swim in the 55-foot-tall crater, or relax and enjoy the natural beauty.
