Utah is the home of several national parks, including Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands. While you are in Salt Lake City for the World Congress, consider extending your trip to visit one of these amazing natural sites. We would suggest a visit to Arches National Park since it is the closest to Salt Lake City and reachable by car, bus, train, and even air. To aid in your planning, we have gathered information on travel from Salt Lake City and hotels and tours in Moab, UT.
