Exploring Southern Utah

The kids had a couple of days off school in the middle of October so we decided to take a little trip to explore this beautiful state that we live in.  We rented a tent trailer and headed south.  We had a great time seeing the sights and the tent trailer was awesome (especially since it had a heater and it was cold at night).








Here are some pictures of the places we explored!

CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK

NATURAL BRIDGES NATIONAL MONUMENT


MONUMENT VALLEY





FOUR CORNERS






















MONTICELLO TEMPLE (The kids did baptisms)


NEWSPAPER ROCK
Mexican Restaurant in MOAB, UTAH
DEAD HORSE POINT STATE PARK
CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK






















ARCHES NATIONAL PARK



Yes, we did all that in about 3 1/2 days.  Next time we will definitely take along some bikes for the Moab area and we will go when there is no moon.  That was the only thing I was disappointed about.  There was a full moon every night so I really didn't get to see the spectacular stars.  It is ranked the 2nd best place in America to see the stars behind Alaska.  Next time.....

What a great trip! I have been to many of those places but not all of them. I love Arches. My husband is a big fan of mountain biking in Moab. Slick Rock is his mecca. :)
