Super Ultimate Hiking And Outdoor Utah Bucket List

This winter instead of making a yearly state to-do list, I decided to just make a bigger state bucket list.  Then I decided to turn this into a little series.  I wanted to do specific states that I spend a lot of time in, want to spend a lot of time in, or am close to a lot. 

I also wanted to do more general regional bucket lists for all the other things I want to do, which is a lot.  They are all pretty outdoor focused with a few non-outdoorsy things, too.

Next up in my series is my outdoor Utah Bucket list.  As I do things and write posts for them, I’ll update this to link back to those.  If I do something and don’t have a post, I’ll just cross it out. 

I would like to do one a month with 12 total.  These bucket lists are partially to help me keep track of things, but also to inspire you to get out there, too.

I have done a Utah bucket list before, but it was much more general and a great way to help plan a road trip.  This Utah bucket list was going to be a lot more specific with actual hikes, not just parks or drives and a few hikes.  So instead of getting rid of the old one and making a new one, I combined them into this awesome list.

Have you done any of these things?  Which ones?  Is there anything else I should consider adding to my Utah bucket list, especially in the Salt Lake area?

Like it?  Pin it for later!

  1. I like lists too! Gosh, I would love to do at list a third of these things. I haven’t explored Utah as much as I want. This morning I saw a post about hiking at Antelope Island. What a gorgeous place!

  2. Yes, Wow! I love the way you’ve put together your lists, and added pictures as well.

    I have lived in Utah all my life, and this is one of my favorite bucket lists! Thank you for sharing.

    I often drive for touring companies and people often ask me what place I recommend they visit. I tell them,
    “Keep exploring Utah, for every time you do, you’ll add ten more items to your bucket list.” Its truly a great place to live.

    I have added Shafer Trail from Canyonlands to my drives. It’s pretty awesome!

    1. Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear it’s inspired you to add to your own bucket list.

      I bet driving for the tour companies is fun! What has been your favorite Utah hike/drive/activity so far?
