Capitol Reef is the second least visited national park in Utah (we have 5 national parks). It is an awesome place to visit and explore and without all the crowds.

Sedona is one of our favorite places to hike, there are so many hikes to do and each one is so unique. We've been there twice now, once in early Spring and once in the middle of winter. Be aware that it does get busy here and there are often traffic jams getting in to... Continue Reading →
