Now That We Have Your Attention
There’s a reason many families travel here during the holiday season to spend Christmas in Utah. It’s no secret that Utah is home to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” and therefore, makes it a picture-perfect destination to spend the holidays. Maybe you’re not a fan of the snow? Well, head down south to the red-rocks of St. George and Moab and escape the cold (to an extent).
