Investing near Utah's National Parks

Hi! I've been a member of BiggerPockets, devouring the info, and I think I'm finally ready to get started. I want to buy some properties in either Moab or St George to use as vacation rentals. Is there anyone on here that is familiar with these areas? I would love any information and tips you'd be willing to impart. Thanks!

    Vacation rental laws in both areas are extremely strict.  I would start with that and see if it's something you are willing to work with.

    No @Michael Baum, I've been devouring podcasts. I'll look for the forum posts, thanks! Thanks for the heads-up @Ryan Moyer

    @Nikki Jacob, I've had a s similar idea. I love the Utah national parks. My wife and I have been to all 5, and I've probably been to Zion seven+ times and Arches three or four. I ended up getting started in another state because things aligned for me there, but still have this idea that owning an STR near a UT park would be neat. That said, as @Ryan Moyer mentions, figuring out the regulations for an area may change or cause you to abandon plans, but much better to know exactly what you're getting into first.
