Thinking of a Utah Road Trip?

Check out our route checking out what we deemed to be the highlights along the way.  In late October, I drove down to Las Vegas from Vancouver and met my mom at the airport to begin our 2.5 week journey.  From there we headed East and hit in this order:

1) Zion National Park

• Check out Top Hikes in Zion

2) Kanab

• Great hiking and the Best Friends Animal Society: read the post here

3) Bryce Canyon

• Check out amazing Hoodoo formations – read about our visit here

4) Upper Calf Creek Falls 

• Nice short hike en route to Escalante: read the post here

5) Escalante Petrified Forest

6) Capitol Reef National Park

• Lovely scenery but watch out for flash floods: read the post here

7) Goblin Valley State Park

• Adult playground: read the post here

8) Arches National Park

• Delicate Arch is on of my top natural wonders of the world! Read here 

9) Canyonlands National Park: The Needles

10) Canyonlands National Park: Isle in the Sky

And from there we drove pretty much straight back up to Canada via Salt Lake City.
