If you're talking about SLC there aren't any national parks in northern or even central Utah. I'm talking about real national parks like Zions, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Bryce, as enacted by Congress, not state parks or national monuments or national forests. NATIONAL PARKS. Within 100 miles of downtown Seattle are Rainier, NOrth Cascades and Olympic NATIONAL PARKS. Utah has more national parks in the state than anyplace except California and Alaska I think but they're all in the southern part of the state.
