Episode Description

Greg and Holly love Utah's national parks. They're great places to get away and enjoy the great outdoors. And they're not alone -- the parks here see record-breaking attendance year after year, and now there's a new study that ranks three of Utah's national parks among America's happiest parks.

The bigger the smile, the happier the park.
