Utah's most colorful region is warm and easy, filled with backcountry wonders like sand dunes, forests, fishing holes, and songbirds. Golf courses and horseback riding trails are as common as mountain biking routes. Study Mormon history in Saint George or head straight for the wonders of Zion or Bryce Canyon. Mountain lions, mule deer, chipmunks and ground squirrels walk this terrain, which is graced with "painted" rock pinnacles in red, orange, ochre and white.
