Vernal, the county seat of Uintah County, is a progressive city that recently won the America in Bloom award for its efforts to beautify the community. The city offers numerous educational opportunities beginning with a strong public school system. Utah State University has a new regional campus that offers bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees and partners locally with the Uintah Basin Applied Technology College. With a strong local economy over the past decade, the county and city infrastructure has been strengthened, including a new public safety complex, city office buildings, three new schools, a new court house and many new businesses, both locally owned and national chains.

The community also boasts wonderful activities including The Outlaw Trail Theater, the nationally-recognized Dinosaur Round-Up Rodeo, a national Professional Bull Riding Competition and a summer storytelling festival. The citys Utah Field House of Natural History has several exhibits, including those dealing with dinosaurs, geography and Native American history. The nearby Ute Indian Reservation is also a source of summer activities.

Vernal is a veritable paradise for the outdoor enthusiast. Boating, fishing, hiking, white-water rafting, mountain biking, camping - whatever your outdoor passion, its all here. The Uinta Mountains, the highest in Utah, surround Vernal with hundreds of lakes and streams teaming with trout. Flaming Gorge Reservoir offers spectacular outdoor activities, including boating, fishing, biking and hiking. The Green River provides blue-ribbon trout fishing and exciting white-water rafting. Nine-Mile Canyon features a breathtaking corridor of Fremont Indian petroglyphs and pictographs. Dry Fork Canyon, Jones Holes and Echo Park also feature these spectacular drawings.

Vernal is dinosaur country. Dinosaur National Monument offers one of the largest collections of Jurassic-period bones and fossils as well as scenic highways, wilderness areas and hiking trails. State parks at Steinaker and Red Fleet Reservoirs provide modern campgrounds and wonderful opportunities for boating and fishing. Wildlife is plentiful in the area: bighorn sheep, moose, elk, deer, pronghorn antelope, cougars, coyotes, golden and bald eagles and more.
