Do something fun or flavorful: In Park City, find the cool and chic kind of fun that will make you feel like a star yourself - and savor some of the world's most incredible food.
Do something really fast: In the west, visit the Bonneville Salt Flats, whose more than 30,000 acres have long drawn faraway visitors, filmmakers, and high-speed enthusiasts.
Do something outdoorsy: In the south, explore national parks like Bryce or Zion, where you can take in views that took nearly two million years to form.
Do something wild - or civilized: Visit the Cache Valley and explore the Wild West as it was in the 1800s, or experience a night at the theater or opera that will rival New York.
