Well, I knew this day would come...after so many incredible trips to the Caribbean and the fact that our daughter just studied abroad in Europe and Africa last semester we are making vacation plans to stay in the Good Ole US of A! By the way we were fortunate to visit her in Switzerland and traveled into Italy in October, outstanding!! Funny, we discussed many vacation options including Europe, Iceland and of course the Caribbean, but somewhere along the way we gravitated towards UTAH! At first I said... seriously? UTAH? The more I look into it the more excited I get! We are outdoorsy adventurous types and Utah checks all the boxes.
Our plan is to drive from Vegas to the Grand Canyon. Then on to Monument Valley, then to Moab for a few days to cover the Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, then to Zion National Park and back to Vegas. We have plans to white water raft the Colorado, horseback ride, hike and just take in the beautiful sites we've only seen in photographs.
Any must do's is the question? Out of the way places? Actually we will be way off the beaten path most of the trip, but any hidden gems along our route? Thanks for any info!
Leaving in 2 weeks, can't wait to see what we will see! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

Zion and Bryce are not that far apart if you can get them both in, other places that are memorable to me are Pink Sand Dunes, Grand Staircase Escalante, staying in Grand Canyon at El Tovar, the lightning at night was amazing, and then waking up to sunset on the rim was phenomenal. We took a 1700 mile road trip 10 years ago, went in a big circle. It was a great trip. Have a blast, Ellen

Beerman--I am definitely looking forward to seeing those photos, for sure! I'm sure they will be fantastic! I know a full report is a lot of work, but maybe you could give us a teaser photo or two??? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />
