Chasing the blue dot to find adventure…
We made it to Zion National Park around 8:15 am. A little bit later than I wanted, but we still managed to find a parking space at the Visitor's Center. I would say that probably 15-20 spots were left in the visitor's center at that point, and they filled up while we were getting our … Continue reading Utah: Crowds at Zion National Park
This weekend's plans are somewhat a repeat of last weekend. Zion National Park As far as Zion National Park, we intend to get there before 8 a.m. (gotta have a goal) so we can park in the Visitor's Center parking lot and take the shuttle. Since we didn't make it to the Lower Emerald Pool … Continue reading Utah: National parks this weekend
As we traveled from Ogden, Utah to our RV resort, we stopped at a gas station with a large RV/truck parking lot. Since we were going to take a short break, we decided to turn off the engine and turn on the generator so we could run the A/C. Considering we had just dry camped … Continue reading Utah: RV generator issues
We had plans this weekend to head to Zion National Park on Sunday. We did, but not in the way you might expect. Because we got home at almost midnight Saturday from our road trip for sunset photos at Bryce Canyon, we decided there was no way we'd be able to get up at the … Continue reading Utah: Kolob Canyons at Zion National Park
As part of our road trip on Saturday, we first went to Cedar Breaks National Monument, then headed towards Bryce Canyon. Before we ever made it into the park, we checked out a couple of locations on UT-12 first: Red Canyon and Mossy Cave. Red Canyon Red Canyon is a 3-4 mile area on UT-12 … Continue reading Utah: Red Canyon & Rainbow Point at Bryce Canyon
When we were discussing our weekend plans, I was pretty much told I could either have sunrise photos or sunset photos. 🙂 I decided on sunset photos. That meant we could sleep in a bit and break up our journey on the way to Bryce Canyon National Park. Of course, that means we had time … Continue reading Utah: Cedar Breaks National Monument
I took Friday as a day to catch up, chill, and prepare for this weekend's adventures. Saturday plans We are leaving fairly early in the morning for the almost 3 hour drive to Bryce Canyon National Park. Our plans include checking out the following areas: Fairyland Point: According to a few reviews, most people miss … Continue reading Utah: Weekend plans
There is an art to arriving at Zion National Park in time for a parking spot. Today, I failed. I arrived at 9 a.m. and all the parking spaces were full (or too far from a shuttle stop). Since I was by myself today, I decided to stick to the Zion - Mt Carmel Highway … Continue reading Utah: Zion – Mt Carmel Highway
As you have seen from some of our photos, we flat tow a 2-door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. On our way from Mountain Home, Idaho to Ogden, Utah, we planned to stop at a truck stop along the way. Since we were between rest areas, we checked our RV GPS for fuel stops ahead. Our GPS … Continue reading Idaho: Fun times with towing
