Utah is just great. Flew with the family into Denver, spent the night in Vail, then a couple nights near Moab. Did Arches, Canyonlands, and a rafting trip down the Colorado.
Then drove to Zion, stopping at Capitol Reef. Included a white knuckle drive through Grand Staircase Escalante.
Zion is lb for lb the best park in the country.
Then a few nights on North Rim.
Finished the trip with a night in Vegas before flying back.
Highlights of trip:
1. That white knuckle drive, sheer drop offs on both sides.
2. Cougar encounter at GCNP
3. Driving through that crazy fundamentalist Mormon town.
4. Kids in Vegas. Lolz
How cold was your rafting trip? Where'd you drop in?
It was just right. A hair chilly at start, but warmed up nicely.
