Go to Antelope Island

It’s not a really good idea to swim as the water is pretty salty. However, you can borrow a kayak or paddleboat and have a bit of adventure in the water. Antelope Island is best visited during spring as it is quite infamous for the buggy bugs which pry the area during summer.
See a Dinosaur
Don’t you just love dinosaurs? Well, if you do, Utah is the perfect place for you. Go to the Dinosaur National Monument located in the famous Dinosaurland. If you are coming from Colorado, then this should be your first stop because this place reaches the borders of both Colorado and Utah.

Here, you can do many things other than just dinosaur-related. You can also go to the green river for good rafting and visit the rainbow and island park. Finally, you should see the stars here.
Go for an ATV Tour
These rides are an even more enjoyable experience when taken during sunsets. There are numerous places where you can go on an ATV tour. This popular service is available in a bunch of places in Utah. The breeze in your hair during these off-road drives is more than worth the typical $345 for a full-day price. So when you take a trip to Utah once again, make sure you have a lot of fun riding these ATVs.
Ski Because Why Not
Saved the best for last—skiing is a very popular tradition among the people of Utah. Places such as the cottonwood canyon are a must-visit during the wintertime. This is because of how great skiing is in this part of the world.
