Lake Powell in the United States has a unique red rock canyon and water sports scene. Here you can rent a cruise ship that can carry up to ten people. You can drive it yourself without a driver's license. Of course, there are also speedboats that are more difficult to control, as well as kayaks.

Bryce Canyon National Park, located in southern Utah, is one of the most unique and breathtaking national parks in the American Southwest. Despite its name, it's actually a vast natural amphitheater, comprised of countless bizarre "hoodoos"—red-orange rock pillars that shimmer in the sunlight, making them particularly spectacular at dawn and sunset. Here are a few reasons why it's worth a visit: 1. Unique Landscapes Bryce's hoodoos are unlike any other on Earth. Thousands of rock pillars scattered across the crimson canyon resemble something out of a fairytale or alien landscape. 2. Stunning Photography Whether it's the early morning blues, the blazing midday sun, or the golden glow of sunset, the scenery promises stunning photo opportunities. Sunrise Point and Sunset Point are especially a photographer's paradise. 🥾 3. Amazing Hiking Experiences Two recommended hiking routes: • Navajo Loop Trail (short but classic): Journey through rock pillars and experience nature's wonders up close. • Queen's Garden Trail: A more relaxed hike with romantic scenery, perfect for first-time visitors. 🌌 4. World-class Stargazing Bryce Canyon is one of the few places in the world to be certified as an International Dark Sky Park. At night, the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye, and the sky is filled with stars like a shower of silver sand. 🏞️ 5. Convenient Transportation, Connecting to Surrounding Attractions It's about a two-hour drive from Zion National Park and is often included in the "Big Five Utah National Parks" itinerary, making it ideal for road trips.

When I drove a RV fleet around the western United States in 2016, I didn't include Arches National Park in the trip because the RVs were relatively slow and the mileage was long. This year, I added Arches National Park to the trip to the seven natural attractions in the western United States, as well as Monument Canyon, which I will visit tomorrow. Arches National Park is located near Moab, Utah, USA. It covers an area of ​​309 square kilometers and preserves more than 2,000 natural rock arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch. The highest point in the park is Elephant Peak, which is 1,753 meters above sea level.

Today, the driver's team went to the monument, which was not arranged during the driver's 2016 RV driving around the western United States. Monument Valley actually includes a large area around the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, and the Navajo reservation is equivalent to a national park.

Temple Square is also a very distinctive place in Salt Lake City. Some very interesting design styles can be seen on the square. The entire Temple Square is a huge place worth visiting. There are many local community complexes surrounding the square.

We went to Salt Lake City to see the Great Salt Lake. The Great Salt Lake is a vast expanse of snow-white and boundless. We had no problem walking and running on it, but the scenery was not as beautiful as the fountain in Yellowstone Park, and it didn't seem as colorful as the salt lake in Qinghai.

The Utah State Capitol is also a place worth visiting. The Capitol Building is quite large and is the most important administrative seat of the Utah state government. Many of the designs in the building are quite interesting. You can apply to visit here, but it is quite difficult.

This was our first stop when we arrived in Salt Lake City. We have friends who have lived in this area for many years. This is where the first Mormon settlers arrived. There are many monuments describing this history, and there is also a visitor center with a short film about this history.
