National Park Week is a nine-day celebration of everything "parks" happening from April 22 to April 30, 2023.
While there are more than 400 national parks nationwide of different shapes, sizes, and types, Utah is home to “The Mighty 5” which includes Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, and Canyonlands.
AllTrails is an app and website that has a massive database of hiking and trail information so you can plan the best routes for you.
We invited Pit Grewe from AllTrails to showcase some of the top products from Utah companies that will enhance your national park experience.
