Cheap Flights to Utah

The great state of Utah is rich in history and diversity. The Mormons arrived in 1847 and started building what is known today as Salt Lake City. Forty-three years later and after the Mormon Church renounced the practice of polygamy, Utah became a state and has been thriving ever since.

Getting around Utah

In Salt Lake City trains and buses serve the city and the surrounding ski areas. But to really explore the state you’ll need a car.

When visiting Salt Lake City you can explore its downtown area on foot or by bus.

There are well-maintained roads in Bryce Canyon that run the length of the scenic area. In summer free shuttle buses provide tours of the northern area of the park.

From April through October Zion National Park does not allow private vehicles on the main road; however shuttle service from the parking lot to the canyon during peak hours is provided. There are also shuttles from neighbouring towns to the park.
