Backpacking, rock climbing, sailing or camping all have their certain areas. : But it is still the 'wherever' that is of conern here. It seems easy to always go to that favorite camping spot without really considering the variety of other areas throughout the state. The Utah Travel Council divides Utah into a nine region vacation land which offers a variety of sports, recreation, leisure , and scenery. All these regions can be enjoyed within a few hours travel. ' For those of us in Utah County it is , tempting to leave for the more distant parts of the state. And while that's alright, perhaps there's something here to enjoy just asmuch.

The Provo Canyon and Alpine Loop drive is probably one of the most scenic routes in the state. And with summer drawing to a close, the area will begin to show the crisp and colorful signs of autumn. While you're in Provo Canyon you might stop at Sundance Ski Resort and enjoy an evening's entertainment at the Sundance Summer Theater. There is also horseback riding afterwhich you can dine in the Sundance restaurant. A few minutes more travel would take you up the canyon to Heber, Midway and Park City.

While you're near the Canyonlands you may journey to Castle Country, with its sandstone palaces, citadels and fantastically carved cliffs. They say Butch Cassidy took a liking to this area so much that he did some of his most famous work there. There is also the Golden Spike Empire Em-pire region of Utah, which boasts the great Salt Lake, Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and even Peach Day.
