Best Places to Elope in Utah

If you and your partner are looking for an elopement location with landscapes that just leave you breathless and awestruck, then Utah might just be what you’re looking for. Utah’s desert landscape makes you feel like you’re on a totally different planet. With it’s red rocks touching the sky and the desert sand beneath your toes to vast landscapes filled with large canyons, there is an constantly growing list of the best places to elope in Utah.

Zion National Park

Out of the 5 national parks that Utah has, Zion is the most visited and is in top five most visited national park in the country. And with good reason, with hikes like the Narrows and Angels Landing, there are plenty of trail to do with to go along with the spectacular views. If Zion is your location but you don’t want to contend with all the guests, I highly recommend getting there before sunrise and watch the sun peak right over the red rocks at Canyon Overlook.

Capitol Reef National Park

One of the lesser known national parks but it definitely does not skimp on beautiful views. I love it because of how remote the park is, you really don’t feel like you’re in a national park. It’s the perfect place for couples looking for a more private and intimate elopement location.

Arches National Park

Just outside of Moab you have two national parks, one of the being Arches, one of Utah’s most iconic landscapes. As you drive into the park, you’re immediately transported into world filled with red rock in the craziest formations you will ever see.
