Happy New Year
We wish you all of the best as we close
out 2013 and launch a new year. We hope you take time to reflect on
the best things that happened during the past months, and plan to
make 2014 even better. And, we hope the new year brings plenty of
opportunity for adventure.
New Years Day is a big play day in Utah
and we invite you to join the fun. The weather should be great - with
seasonally mild temperatures all around the state. Our ski
resorts will be open and conditions will be great. Also consider
snowmobiling, cross country skiing and other snow adventures.
Hiking and biking conditions are superb
in southern Utah right now. In Moab,
the temperature tomorrow should hit 38 F, with plenty of sunshine. In
the St. George/Zion area the
temperature is expected to climb to 58 F. The golf courses will be
busy, as will the hiking trails.
All of our national
parks, national
monuments and national recreation areas will be open, although
some visitor centers will be closed. Many of our state
parks will also be open.
Utah's biggest tourist destination is
actually Temple
Square, in downtown
Salt Lake City, and it will
be open. Interestingly, a recent news article being picked up around
the country says Salt Lake City
is emerging as an important tourist destination in its own right. The
article was first published in the Salt Lake Tribune and you can read
it here. Below is just one quote:
National
Geographic rated Salt Lake City as the best hiking city in America.
AARP Magazine wrote that Salt Lake City offers the best city sunrise.
TripAdvisor rated the Grand America Hotel as the second best luxury
hotel in Utah and in 2011 ranked Salt Lake City as the number one
American bargain for skiing. Forbes gave the same ranking to Alta and
Snowbird.
We welcome 2014 and the adventures it
will bring. We hope to meet you on our ski runs, backcountry trails
and community streets.
