What It’s Really Like to Live in Utah Through All Four Seasons

Spring
Cherry blossoms bloom around the Utah State Capitol, trailheads begin to thaw, and brunch patios start to fill up. Spring in Utah is that magical in-between when you can ski in the morning and hike in the afternoon. It's unpredictable, but in the best way—locals know to keep both snow boots and sneakers on standby.

Summer
Think rooftop dinners, lakeside paddleboarding, and festivals almost every weekend. Utah summers are warm (but not too hot in the mountains) and filled with adventure. From exploring Park City’s trails to cooling off in Bear Lake, this is the season where weekends are rarely spent indoors.

Fall
The mountains light up in gold, orange, and crimson—Utah’s fall foliage might just rival New England’s. It’s cozy, crisp, and the perfect excuse for scenic drives and cider stops. Locals swap swimsuits for sweaters and head to the canyons to soak in the last of the sunshine before the snow hits.

Winter
Yes, Utah is famous for “The Greatest Snow on Earth”—but winter isn’t just for skiers. There are ice castles, hot springs, snowy hikes, and twinkling lights everywhere. And nothing beats watching a storm roll in over the valley from the comfort of your fireplace.
