In 2016 we traveled to all 59 National Parks in the United States to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the National Park System.
I have been saying to a lot of people that I feel “comfortable” here in the parks of Southern Utah. I feel like I have been in these parks quite a bit. It is very easy to navigate. I know where we can camp. I know the “fun spots”. I’m really glad that we started … [Read more…]
I have a deep love for the desert. It just feels good. I just love the colors, the smells, and feeling the dry air gives me when I breathe it in. Canyonlands is one of my favorite places because of this. Now that I have professed my love for this blessed area, I need to … [Read more…]
Capitol Reef is Utah’s best kept secret. We had a BLAST exploring the park.
