Top 10 Outdoor Activities In Utah

What is your favorite outdoor activity in Utah?

Many people would say skiing, and that would certainly be on my list, but there are many, many other great choices.

Local writer Brett Prettyman penned this article published in The Guardian (UK) in which he gives the top 10 as listed below. There is no mention of whether this is his personal "best of list", or if he used some criteria to come up with a generalized consensus. Regardless, these are all must-does, in my opinion.

• Rafting Cataract Canyon in Canyonlands National Park
• Hike to Angels Landing in Zion National Park
• Greatest Snow on Earth (skiing)
• Hiking to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park
• Mountain biking the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park
• Canyoneering in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument
• Fly fishing on the Green River in north-eastern Utah
• Sailing on the Great Salt Lake
• Astronomy at Bryce Canyon National Park
• Birding on the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge

I know Brett and so I'm surprised the list doesn't include anything on boating/fishing Lake Powell or any mention of hunting sports.

Still, I think it is a great list highlighting some of Utah's best.

What do you think? What would be on your best activities list?
