Nature of Utah
The state of Utah is located in the Western United States and belongs to the mountainous states of the United States. The area of Utah is 219,887 km 2 (thirteenth place among the states of the USA).
Utah is bordered by the states of Nevada to the west, Idaho to the north, Wyoming to the northeast, Colorado to the east, and Arizona to the south.
Utah is one of the states in the ” Four Corners ” region (as are Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona), the only place in the United States of America where the borders between the states follow meridians and parallels.
Utah is located within the United States Mountain Time Zone.
Utah is characterized by a variety of relief and, accordingly, large differences in natural conditions. On the territory of the state of Utah, there are three main physical and geographical regions – the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado Plateau and the Ranges and Valleys.
The Rocky Mountains occupy the northeastern counties of Utah. In the central part of the state, the Wasatch Range (Washatch) stretches from north to south, serving as the border between the mountainous regions and the Great Basin. The Wasatch Mountains are over 3,600 meters high, and along the western slopes of this range, most of Utah’s population is concentrated. To the east, in a latitudinal direction, the Yuinta (Uinta) Mountains stretch, in which the highest point of the state is also located – Mount Kings Peak (4,123 meters above sea level).
The Utah highlands are home to several large nature reserves, including the Ashley National Forest and Winta Washatch Cache. The picturesque dense forests (mostly coniferous) are very popular with lovers of hiking and cycling, and the snow-covered slopes of the mountains of Utah attract many fans of skiing.
West Utah is the so-called “Ridges and Basins” (or “Ridges and Valleys”), part of the Great Basin. A vast drainless and arid region with a highly rugged relief, which was once the bottom of a huge lake, is covered with deserts and salt marshes, over which relatively low mountains rise (the Cedar, Silver Island and other ridges, including one of the highest rock masses in USA – Notch Peak).
Alta
Deep in the Rocky Mountains lies the oldest and one of the most traditional ski resorts in the state of Utah . To this day, the Alta resort retains the same skiing atmosphere and you can experience the same skiing as the skiers once did. The ski area stretches for five kilometers and the altitude reaches 500 meters. Great skiing is ensured thanks to the high-quality powder snow cover, which is still plentiful here even in the spring months. This is why spring skiing is very popular here, and the resort also offers special and favorable price packages. Skiers of all categories, from absolute beginners to professionals, will find something to do here.
Skiers on the slopes are mostly transported by slower and outdated lifts, so there is not as much traffic here as in other Rocky Mountain resorts. The slopes are so half-empty even on weekends and there is no queue for the lifts. Here we will also find a new modern high-speed cable car that will take us to the top of the complex. Snowboarding lovers in Alta will unfortunately come up short, because snowboarding is prohibited in the entire area. However, fans of downhill skiing will feel like they are in paradise here. On the cable car ride to the top, you can watch the daredevils who decided to go down the extremely steep slopes leading between rocks and boulders. Part of the area is the Alf Engen Ski School, which will teach you the basics of skiing in powder. A two-hour private lesson will cost you $150. No facilities in the form of a village were built here for skiers.
