I am headed off to Utah. I am going to do a little rock hunting while there. Any ideas where to look?

In the ground, Up the cliffs, In the rivers.
Get a geological survey map of the area, Learn to read it and plan your trip based on local "beauty spots" for the wife and kids.
Take a brick hammer and a small pry bar, and tell the kids your off fossil hunting

Shale: Shale is lithified clay and consists of layers that typically break into thin sheets. A well-known shale formation is the Wheeler Shale of the House Range, Millard County, which contains numerous Cambrian Period (500 to 570 million years ago) trilobite fossils that are found by splitting the shale along its layers. Another shale formation is the widespread Mancos Shale, visible along Utah State Highway 6 between Price and Interstate 70, Carbon and Emery Counties.
Slate: Slate is fine grained, dense, and brittle and is a metamorphosed form of shale. Slate can be seen west of Patters spring in the Pilot Range, Box Elder County.
Schist: Schist has the same satin-like sheen as phyllite but has a coarse texture due to its high mica (muscovite or biotite) content. The Little Willow Formation is a schist that is visible on the north side of the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake CountyReal name, Blake
