Utah

Visiting Utah means stepping into a state that has no chill. This place is mood swings in geologic form. Blinding white salt flats that stretch forever, then vanish into a pink horizon. Steam rolling off desert pools in the middle of nowhere like some apocalyptic spa day.

The backroads, the salt cracks, the steam vents, and the snowy passes. You’ll need layers. You’ll need snacks. And probably a towel you don’t mind ruining.

Utah’s extremes aren’t for everyone. But if you’re still reading, they might be exactly what you’re into.
