There are so many interesting and unique things to see in Utah! Not all of them require a long hike. Many can be seen from your car or with a little walk from your car. We'll take you to some of our favorites.
You don't have to climb mountains or do multi-day backpacking to enjoy Utah's hiking trails. There are lots of easy and moderate trails that are awesome. Enjoy the journey. Bring your pup (if allowed). Just go!
Small towns often have the best restaurants. It's probably the mom-and-pop locals go to. Whether it's the burgers, shakes, Navajo tacos, or that special sauce, we'll show you places you'll be telling your friends about.
This section is meant for weekend adventures. Maybe it's a visit to a park, museum, or just a little trip to share with you. Hopefully it gives you ideas for the next time you think, "what should we do this weekend?"

Welcome to Utah Alex
I have been a journalist in Utah for 21 years and have traveled throughout the state. Utah Alex is to show you some of the places I have been fortunate to see. Friends and co-workers often ask me for tips on where to go and what to eat in small towns because they know I love exploring Utah. So, I figured it would be fun to share some of my experiences here.
This is not meant to be a travel blog or extreme adventure page. There are plenty of websites for those. This site is for us weekend warriors who still want to feel adventurous without risking our lives. We might be middle-aged (or older!), but us cool kids aren't done yet. If I can do these things, anyone can. Enjoy!
