In particular, it owns the Mighty Five, a collection of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalparks.org\/explore-parks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. National Parks<\/a> that includes Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Zion, Canyonlands and Arches. Besides parks, the topography in Utah\u2019s southern region, particularly in Red Rock Country, really shines. And there\u2019s a lot more to this area than hoodoos and landscapes. Farm-focused offerings, Native American history and comfortable lodgings will give visitors both a sense of place and space. So plan on checking off these enchanting locations in Utah\u2019s Red Rock Country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/2016\/01\/national-parks-centennial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> 100 National Parks experiences you must try before you die<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48755\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48755\" class=\"wp-image-48755\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Goblin-Valley-State-Park-utah.jpg\" alt=\"Goblin Valley State Park \" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Goblin-Valley-State-Park-utah.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Goblin-Valley-State-Park-utah-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Goblin-Valley-State-Park-utah-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Goblin-Valley-State-Park-utah-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Goblin-Valley-State-Park-utah-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goblin Valley State Park<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 165px;\">Goblin Valley State Park<\/h3>\n<p>This state park is a visual geology lesson in how everything from the elements to tectonic forces can transpose terraininto amultifaceted wonder. What first catches the eye here are mushroom-looking rock formations locally referred to as \u201cgoblins.\u201d These hoodoos, or goblins, were formed from built-up sediment layers of sand, silt and clay that were then\u00a0shaped by water erosion and winds. Free-roaming pathways allow for walking up to or around them or just taking in their standings. Yet these figures aren\u2019t the only fixtures worth gazing at. Other occupiers here include the Entrada Canyon, a rugged sandstone wall of cliffs; the Goblin\u2019s Lair, where these canyoneering outings take place; and Three Sisters, a goblin rock trifecta. As for what to do here, your options can involve various hiking trails, a mountain-biking trail system and a 9-hole disc golf course. opt for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Caineville-Hotels.d6125885.Travel-Guide-Hotels\/?mcicid=blog.orbitz.article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nearby hotel<\/a>, stay in a limited number\u00a0of campsites with the chance to sleep in a yurt. Popular activities include\u00a0stargazing; Goblin Valley State Park is not impacted by light pollution, so having a full, clear view of the Milky Way is most definite.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48761\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48761\" class=\"wp-image-48761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/San-Rafael-Swell-utah.jpg\" alt=\"San Rafael Swell\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/San-Rafael-Swell-utah.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/San-Rafael-Swell-utah-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/San-Rafael-Swell-utah-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/San-Rafael-Swell-utah-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/San-Rafael-Swell-utah-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48761\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Rafael Swell<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 165px;\">San Rafael Swell<\/h3>\n<p>For ATVers and bikers, southern Utah has a number of opportunities for touring\u00a0various courses on two wheels. One of them is the San Rafael Swell, a public land area along I-70 that features various canyons and also the majestic Temple Mountain where uranium mining was once a booming industry. Though those\u00a0days are now over, roads run along this area, where remnants from the period can be randomly spotted. Also in the San Rafael Swell, take amoment to look at the canyon walls and see if you can spot panels of rock art created by pre-historic Native Americans such as the Fremont and Ute tribes. Hiking here is also a good option.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48765\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48765\" class=\"wp-image-48765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hickman-bridge-capitol-reef-national-park-utah-3.jpg\" alt=\"Hickman Bridge in Capitol Reef National Park \" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hickman-bridge-capitol-reef-national-park-utah-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hickman-bridge-capitol-reef-national-park-utah-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hickman-bridge-capitol-reef-national-park-utah-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hickman-bridge-capitol-reef-national-park-utah-3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/hickman-bridge-capitol-reef-national-park-utah-3-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48765\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hickman Bridge in Capitol Reef National Park<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 165px;\">Capitol Reef National Park<\/h3>\n<p>What makes this Mighty Five National Parks standout is that it\u2019s a hiker\u2019s dream. Even\u00a0inexperienced\u00a0trekkers can go up, down and along trails snaking\u00a0along various arches and other land configurations. Perhaps its most scenic route is a roughly 2-mile, moderate level trail along both the HickmanBridge, a natural formation with amazing canyon views, and the Waterpocket Fold, a rocky-layered fixture that is this park\u2019s signature piece. Even arriving to the park is scenic, as vehicles can go through a 20-mile round-trip drive. Orchards planted by settlers in the late 1800s now fall under what\u2019s called the Fruita Rural Historic Landscape, a protected agricultural reserve that holds more than 3,000 fruit and nut tree varieties. When permitted, the public can sample ripe fruit as well as pick and purchase what\u2019s ready to eat from specific marked areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/rewards\/?mcicid=blog.orbitz.article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ALSO:<\/strong> Park it at Orbitz Rewards to earn free hotels faster!<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48763\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48763\" class=\"wp-image-48763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/view-on-the-Scenic-Byway-12-utah.jpg\" alt=\"View on the Scenic Byway 12\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/view-on-the-Scenic-Byway-12-utah.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/view-on-the-Scenic-Byway-12-utah-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/view-on-the-Scenic-Byway-12-utah-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/view-on-the-Scenic-Byway-12-utah-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/view-on-the-Scenic-Byway-12-utah-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View on the Scenic Byway 12<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 165px;\">Scenic Byway 12<\/h3>\n<p>Scenic Byway 12 lives up to its name.
