The Utah Symphony's season is in full swing in February, and you'll find eight performances scheduled this month. Get cozy in your seat at Abravanel and enjoy some world-class music.

February is one of the lowest visitation months at this popular national park, but it's hard to imagine missing this view. There's just something about the way the hoodoos look with a dusting of snow - it gives them a whole new dimension. During snowy months, you can still hike in the canyon, but you'll want to bring snowshoes or Yaktrax.

For information and directions, visit the park's website.

Gorgoza Park is located near Jeremy Ranch. You'll find several tubing lanes here, along with two towing lifts so you don't have to climb the hill. Plan to spend an entire, glorious day here playing in the snow.

Head to Fillmore for a nice, long soak in 100-degree water. These hot springs are located on private property, but the owner makes them available to the public. Please wear a swimsuit and pack out your trash with you so that all Utahns can continue to enjoy this wonderful place.

With all our recent snow, now is the perfect time to go skiing. Try the less-crowded and seriously underrated Snowbasin Resort in the Ogden Valley. The views here are gorgeous, and you'll get that same fluffy, Utah powder - without the crowds.

Visit Snowbasin's website for more information.

Calf Creek Falls is located near the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (and the new Bears Ears National Monument). During winter months, this gorgeous waterfall is much less crowded than in summer months, and it's just as beautiful.

After the crowds from Sundance leave, Utah still has a vibrant indie movie scene. Get yourself a treat (Broadway Centre Cinemas has some delicious imported chocolate, fresh baked pizza and popcorn with real butter) and watch a movie that has fewer computer-generated explosions and more character development.

Check out the Salt Lake Film Society's website to see what's playing this month.

The Hardware Ranch Wildlife Management Area is home to as many as 500 elk during the winter months. The elk feeding program helps the animals get through the winter, and gives Utahns a way to see them up close. You'll take a hay ride out to the herd, and get a chance to say hello. Elk viewing is over at the end of February, so plan your visit soon!

Check out the website for more details.

When the snow is falling outside, there's nothing better than a cozy table in a log restaurant. Make your reservations at Log Haven for dinner this month - it's like a winter wonderland there in February.
