Geology of Utah's Parks and Monuments Utah has some of the most spectacular examples of classic geology found anywhere in the world. Some of the best of Utah geology are showcased in Utah's many national and state parks, monuments, and recreation areas. Places such as Arches, Bryce, Canyonlands, Flaming Gorge, and Zion are well known for their grand geology and geologic vistas. But other parks such as Capitol Reef, Dinosaur, Goblin Valley, and Snow Canyon are equal to their more visited counterparts. The Utah Geological Association (UGA) annually publishes a guidebook and conducts a field conference on an aspect of Utah geology. To celebrate Utah's geologic parks during the millennium year, the UGA has published a guidebook, "Geology of Utah's Parks and Monuments" that highlights the geology of several national and state parks and monuments in Utah.
