Our Favorite Fall Activities in Utah
Pumpkins and Hayrides and Leaves, Oh My!
The changing leaves and the crisp, cool air are a pleasant sign of our favorite time of year: fall.
Utah has so many activities and we admit, it can be overwhelming. To help you out, we've compiled a list of our favorite fall activities.
Oktoberfest
Fall is the time for Snowbird mountain resort's annual Oktoberfest, one of Utah’s largest festivals, which draws more than 60,000 visitors. Every Saturday and Sunday through Oct. 21, attendees can enjoy food, brews and fun activities designed for all ages. Discover why Snowbird’s annual festival was voted one of America's 10 Best Oktoberfests by Men's Journal Magazine.
Scenic Fall Drives
One thing that many people don't know about Utah is that we have spectacular autumn leaves. If you want to have a closer look at the beautiful foliage take a trip to the mountains via one of Utah's 11 scenic byways. The best time to view the leaves in their full glory is usually mid-September through early-October. The state's vast forests and national parks offer spectacular fall foliage that will inspire and lift you — don’t forget to pack your camera.
