The Utah Olympic Park hosted the 2002 Olympic Winter Games as a prime competition venue. It held Nordic jumping, bobsled, luge, and skeleton. Now there are nearly 400 acres of sporting facilities and visitor areas that can accommodate over 300,000 people. Watch athletes in training, explore the Alf Engen Ski History Museum and the 2002 Eccles Winter Olympic Museum. There are daily guided tours of the Olympic competition sites, public bobsled rides, starting in December, and chair lifts to the K120 Ski Jump’s summit.

The sea surrounding Bonaire is entirely part of the Bonaire National Marine Park, whose reefs and mangroves are home to the best preserved and the most diverse marine life in the Caribbean. There are nearly 90 dive sites in Bonaire, the most well-known ones being the 1000 Steps Beach, the popular wreck of Hilma Hooker, the deserted island of Klein Bonaire and Bari Reef, whose richness is unique even from a Bonairean perspective. Dive sites are indicated with big rocks painted yellow across the island to help underwater enthusiasts find the location they seek.

This natural reserve covers an area of 57 square kilometres in the north of the island and is home to species ranging from flamingos to iguanas and sea turtles, not to mention the distinctive flora including several species of cacti. The visitor centre at the entrance houses a museum and is the starting point of hiking trails throughout the park.

Bonairean landscapes are brimming with vibrant flamingos, the island being one of the world's only four breeding grounds for the pink-hued birds — who get their iconic colour from the brine shrimp in the water. Bonaire's go-to place for birdwatching is Pekelmeer Lake, which is located near the salt pans. It's worth hiring a car to explore the area, but don't forget to bring your binoculars as you can only observe the flamingos from a distance. If you are headed elsewhere, both Goto Lake (Goto Meer) and Lac Bay give you spectacular views of the birds.
