With five national parks, Utah is America's national parks capital. These national parks include: Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Capitol Reef National Park.
We also claim the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, since it is best accessed through southern Utah. In addition, Mesa Verde National Park is just across the border in Colorado, Great Basin National Park hugs our Nevada border and Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park straddles the Utah/Arizona border.
These national parks are located close together, allowing visitors to experience them.
