Utah's scenery is stunning — from its red rocks to its mountain splendor. We're so lucky to live in this beautiful state! Not only do we have amazing scenery, we have some seriously talented photographers, both professional and amateur, to capture it. Many of them have been sharing their work on Only in Utah's Facebook Page. I just had to share these gorgeous images with the rest of our readers, so I compiled 20 of the best (and wow, was it hard to choose only 20!). Thanks to all the photographers who submit photos. If you haven't shared a photo yet, now's the time! See my instructions at the bottom of the article for how to submit.

The fall foliage here is stunning.
