Welcome, and I am so glad you found this little corner of the internet!

I’m Becca — the mom, the adventurer, and the voice behind Utah Family Travels. I live in Utah with the most supportive husband and the most enthusiastic (and sometimes reluctant) group of little hikers you’ve ever seen. Together we’ve explored this incredible state and a good chunk of the Western US, and we are nowhere near done.

Here’s the honest origin story: five years ago, we were total homebodies. Lots of TV, comfortable routines, and zero desire to go anywhere. Then our kids got a little older, Covid hit, and the world forced us outside. And something kind of miraculous happened. The tantrums that were driving us crazy? Disappeared. The sibling squabbles? Gone. Everybody was happier, more creative, and genuinely excited. The outdoors turned out to be the thing our family didn’t know it needed.

So we started exploring — really exploring. Weekend trips, off-season adventures, last-minute drives up a canyon. We tried kayaking, snowshoeing, skiing, hiking at elevation, swimming in slot canyons. We found hidden waterfalls and tiny local restaurants and state parks that most people have never heard of. And once we started sharing about it with friends and family, everyone kept saying the same thing: “I had no idea that was there!”

That’s exactly why Utah Family Travels exists. Our mission is simple: help families get out, make memories, and discover the incredible world right outside their door. It doesn’t even have to be what we share — we just want to inspire you to go try something new together. Because honestly? Those are the moments your kids will remember forever.

We mostly cover Utah, but we also travel throughout Idaho, Colorado, California, and Arizona. You can follow along on Instagram and TikTok at @utahfamilytravels — come say hi! I’d love to hear where your family is adventuring too.
