THE GREAT OUTDOORS — This weekly column highlights user-submitted photos and video of Utahns exploring our beautiful state. Watch for it on Thursdays to get ideas for your next outdoors adventure.

Summer is in full swing, and Utahns are making the most of the warm weather. With Utah’s 43 state parks, five national parks and 14 ski resorts, there are plenty of areas to explore and try different outdoors activities.

One group of residents recorded their descent while rappelling at Bridal Veil Falls, which looked really wet, but awesome. Another group enjoyed a day of mountain biking and submitted great video of the trip.

Others took to the mountains for some paragliding and filmed the speedy adventure.

Whether you are into mountain biking, riding ATVs, boating, snowboarding, hiking or hunting, Utah can accommodate your outdoors needs — and we'd love to see photos of you in action.

Send pictures or video of your recent outdoor activities in Utah's backcountry to fjolley@ksl.com. We'd love to highlight your adventures.
