4. Utah

Insider Monkey Score: 26

Utah is so unbelievably pretty that the whole state could be designated a national park. A visit to the Great Salt Lake – the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere – is highly recommended if you want to see wonderful wildlife and some of the most majestic sunrises and sunsets you’ll ever witness in your life. 

Visitors traveling to the Beehive State spent $11.98 billion in 2022, supporting 152,800 jobs and resulting in $2.1 billion in state and local tax revenue.
