Tourism Brandon

So I’ve heard the question asked a lot, “You live in Utah? What is there to do there?”

My answer was always the same - skiing and snowboarding. Other than that, I wasn’t really sure, because I’m a California transplant, and with no beaches, I wasn’t really sure what to do! I love snowboarding, but I wanted to figure out what else there was to do in such a beautiful state.

I’ve come to find out, I’ve been missing out on a lot of really cool things! There is so much Utah outdoor recreation, it almost made me cry when I realized how long I’ve been here, and how little I’ve done.

Since I wanted to find out more about things to do in Utah, I decided to do some research, and take an impromptu vacation. It quickly became one of my favorites, simply because it reminded me of my former home, California. That place is Bear Lake. I’d heard about it, but never really knew where it was, or even what it was.

This past summer I took a trip there, and was totally blown away. The color of the lake is a tourquoise blue that is unmatched by any water except maybe the Caribbean ocean. It is stunning, and totally unexpected.

We took our boat there this summer, and enjoyed every second. The wakeboarding was fabulous, although the water can get choppy in the afternoon.

Another fun thing to do there is try out some of the raspberry milkshakes at the local stands. It’s to die for! Absolutely delicious.

We only stayed a few days, but we constantly had something to do, and we had so much fun trying to do everything!

Bear Lake is definitly one of the top desitinations in Utah - however, I’ve learned to never say that Utah is boring, because I know there are many more hidden gems here!
