The Hidden Park That Will Make You Feel Like You’ve Discovered Utah’s Best Kept Secret

Utah has some gorgeous national parks, and they get lots of attention from both Utahns and visitors. However, one of Utah's best kept secrets is located right near several of our national parks and monuments. Take a look!

Kodachrome State Park is located just 20 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park.

The park got its name from the popular color film, Kodak. You can certainly see why.

The park is full of geologic features.

The 67 monolithic stone spires vary in height from 6 feet to 170 feet. The oldest layers are 180 million years old.

Throughout the park, you can see sedimentary layers that document the geologic history of this beautiful place.

Stay overnight at the campground. Amenities include modern restrooms, fire pits, hot showers and drinking water.

Enjoy this majestic view right from the comfort of your car...

...or explore the 2,240 acres on foot. You'll find several hiking trails.

The Willis Creek Narrows Trail is 2.6 miles long.

Get up close and personal with the vibrant sandstone formations here! Your cell phone won't work in the park, so you'll enjoy some real, quality time with the ones you love.

The park is stunning during thunderstorms...

...and it's magical in the winter, with a little snow. In the winter, temperatures here on the Colorado Plateau can reach lows below zero.

Kodachrome State Park is open year-round. Plan your visit today!
