Things to Do in Utah: Desert & Mountain Roadside Stops

Utah state flag

Utah brings desert landscapes and quirky roadside stops—houses carved into rocks, giant fishing flies, and old Western movie sets. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on our list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
