Hello August: Adventure Awaits — Explore Utah’s Parks & Natural Wonders!

Long summer days, golden sunsets, and endless opportunities to explore

DEAR FRIENDS,

August in Utah means road trips, cool canyon breezes, and discovering the incredible landscapes that make our state one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re hiking the trails of Arches National Park or spying bison at Antelope Island State Park, there’s no better time to connect with the beauty and heritage of the Beehive State.

At Everything Utah, we celebrate our connection to the land with treasures inspired by nature. Our Navajo Sandstone arches are crafted in Kanab , Utah and are a true nod to Utah’s iconic landscapes. Let’s not forget the Great Salt Lake, where we source our unique salt products and where Antelope Island offers a home to wild bison, antelope, and is home to the most breathtaking summer sunsets.

 

Stay Hydrated on Desert Adventures:

Utah summers can be hot and dry, so hydration is key for your hikes and outdoor fun. Our Re-Lyte Hydration 30 Stick Packs are a must-have for staying energized and replenished during long days in the sun. Toss a few in your backpack and stay cool while exploring the red rock trails or desert landscapes.
