Hands down, the greatest part of living in Utah is that there are so many beautiful and unique destinations so close to home. Here is a list of 10 national parks or national monuments (and one state park) that are within driving distance (5 hours) from home.
Driving times come from Google Maps and if you happen to speed when you drive then you can be somewhere fantastic even faster. Start point is Pleasant Grove. If there is only one picture, it means we haven’t been there yet so I swiped one off the internet.
