Utah in the summer offers a diverse range of driving experiences, with 30 routes averaging 334 miles and around 6 hours. You'll find drives with high drive scores, like those scoring an 8, and terrain that can vary significantly. This season is ideal for exploring Utah's expansive landscapes, taking advantage of longer daylight hours to experience its unique geography.

Planning Tips

Carry extra water — summer heat in the car and at rest stops dehydrates faster than you think.
Start drives early or late to avoid peak afternoon heat, especially through desert or plains stretches.
Check your tire pressure before long summer drives — hot pavement increases blowout risk with underinflated tires.
