If you go virtually anywhere except the national parks in Utah you have the place to yourself. I’ve been in slot canyons with nobody but my brother and I around.

Or just go in winter. It’s not hot, prices plummet, you don’t have to be up at stupid-o’clock for sunrise and there’s nobody around.

We got to Snow Canyon SP this summer and it was beautiful, and there were loads of camp sites spare. That was their off-peak time. Just had to get up a bit earlier to hike areas while they were still shaded, and you got a great experience without anyone around. Feels like no matter how many places you see in Utah, there are still more epic spots for the next trip.

I think the ranger in The Maze mentioned that July had seriously low visitorship. Something like 7 people/day hiking in because of the heat and exposure?
