Taylor Powers and Ethan Millard reveal some of their favorite places, in part because they are never crowded! Ethan's secret spot is the third valley in Goblin Valley just west of Moab.

Vast and empty miles of dried shoreline becomes a host for campfires, sports, and the occasional donut...
Utah has so much to offer for families and individuals alike, but people tend to crown in the same places. Venture out of your norm and visit somewhere you've never been before! Whether hiking, biking, views, swimming or shopping are your motives, there are plenty of places that offer it up!
