sailorjane, thank you for reading!
I do have one last report to post for SwissItalia(next week hopefully) it will include Interlaken and trekking through the Swiss Alps including Murren, Lauderbrunnen and Piz Gloria etc. This is a place we'll return!
We really enjoyed Moab with the activities I posted about, Arches deserves more time than we gave it. We were sooo close to Canyonland from Moab and wanted to spend time there, but time ran out.
Monument Valley is a must see in my book and I highly recommend staying right smack in the middle like we did at "The View". We would make a horseback ride a must there if there's a next time! there's a corral 2 miles into the dirt trail that looked perfect.
Zion was my favorite park for scenery and of course hiking, Bryce is very close, but once again we ran out of time...so next time!
We weren't able to make Grand Staircase National Park, so that's on the bucket list. Dixie National Forest looked beautiful and interesting and I'd suspect awesome camping there. We wanted to try Goblin Valley State Park but once again time, photo's I've seen show a wonderfully unique landscape.
There is so much to see, the state seems so huge and landscapes varied around every corner, you can't go wrong with any destination choice in my book! If you like hiking you'll find plenty ranging from short and easy, long and moderate/strenuous to short and scary, like the 2-1/2 miles to Angels Landing! Have fun!!!
