Utah is an amazing place, and far more varied than most people give it credit for.
We started our Utah experience at the Goosenecks State Park on our way up from Arizona. An amazing place with sheer views down at the Colorado River. A bit windy and pricey for no hookups, but a must-see.
From Goosenecks you can visit Valley of the Gods, a smaller version of Monument Valley.
Bears Ears, Butler Wash, the Abajo Mountains – there is so much to see here. From the dry, dusty areas around Moab to the lush green and high peaks of the mountains – Utah should be on everyone’s list!

Home – sitting in a gravel pit west of Blanding Utah with the Abajo Mountains in the background. Not too bad for free!

I always carry a headlamp in my backpack just in case I need to do a little exploring!
