Hello Friends,
Are you in need of a vacation, but you don't want to put the kids in the car for long hours or be stuck in crowded lines? Take a look at these 6 staycation ideas that are located in Utah. Utahns love to load up the
family and head to Disneyland – it’s fairly close and it’s a fun family
vacation. However, it’s expensive, crowded and exhausting. This year, do
something different! Take one of these Utah staycations. You’ll find something
here for every budget, time frame and age group.
1.The Homestead Resort in Midway
This staycation is perfect
for a quick weekend getaway, and The Homestead offers a special Utah Rate - ask
for it when you book.
Soak, scuba or swim in the
crater.
Golf at Crater Springs Golf
Course and dine at the restaurant or grill onsite.
2. Lake Powell
As long as you love our
family enough to spend some time in close quarters, a houseboat vacation on
Lake Powell can be the perfect staycation.
There’s a houseboat vacation
for most budgets, and you can add on small watercraft rental for even more fun.
Ask for “locals” discounts to save even more.The rental company will
give you a quick lesson so you can drive the houseboat, then you’ll spend the
next week exploring the 96 canyons and 2,000 miles of shoreline that Powell
offers.
3. Lagoon
Before you roll your
eyes...yes, I know that Lagoon is tiny compared to Disneyland. And it doesn’t
have princesses and Mickey walking around for photo ops. It also doesn’t have
hour-long lines, and it’s small enough that you can navigate the park without
completely wearing out your six-year-old. Two-day admission to Disneyland for
ages 10 and up = $195. One-day admission to Lagoon = $53.95, and if you go
during their bounce back dates, you’ll pay just $10 for the second day.
Cool off at Lagoon-A-Beach.
Admission to the amusement park also gets you into the water park.
Stay overnight at Lagoon’s
campground. The cost is $32-$44 per night, depending on the type of site. If
you stay six nights, the seventh night is free.
4. Ogden
There's so much to see and
do in Ogden. Start with Historic 25th street, where you'll find restaurants,
pubs, coffee shops and entertainment.
Cheer for the Raptors at
Lindquist Field.
Catch a wave at Flowrider
(2261 Kiesel Ave), or fly in an wind tunnel at SkyDive Ogden (3463 Airport
Road).
5. Camping In The High Uintas
Head for the Mirror Lake
Scenic Byway, which leads you right into a beautiful part of the high Uinta
mountain range. The byway takes you past several small lakes, including Mirror
Lake. Wonder how it got its name?
There are camping sites at
each of the lakes along the byway. Stay in an RV or a tent. You can reserve
your spot in advance.
6. Utah’s National Parks and Monuments
This staycation is really
flexible, depending on your time frame. If you just have a weekend, explore one
park. If you have 2 - 4 weeks or more, try to visit several!.
There are five national
parks in Utah: Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches and Capitol Reef. This is Zion
National Park, Utah’s most popular.
Also visit the Grand
Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Natural Bridges National Monument and
the Dixie National Forest. The Southern part of Utah offers several
amazing state parks, including Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Dead Horse Point,
Escalante Petrified Forest, Goblin Valley, Goosenecks, Kodachrome Basin and
several others.Each of these parks or monuments offers tons of hiking
for all skill levels. You’ll find stunning scenic overlooks, fishing, camping
and other recreation opportunities unique to each park.
Thanks so much,
ERA Skyline Real Estate
