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 Sweet Home
Camped right on the rim of the canyon at Goosenecks State Park. 5 feet left of that bag chair is a vertical drop down to the canyon.

What A Dump
Home – sitting in a gravel pit west of Blanding Utah with the Abajo Mountains in the background. Not too bad for free!
Black or Red
The Jeep maintained a reddish tint for many weeks throughout Southeast Utah. Stopping for a break here with a view of Bears Ears National Monument in the background.
Cave Diving
I always carry a headlamp in my backpack just in case I need to do a little exploring!
Home With A View
Ancient Puebloan ruins in a massive cave in the North Butler Wash area.
Sketchy Footing
Yet another "not mother-approved" moment!
Road Closed
It looks like this road is closed unless you have a snowmobile!

The Abajo Mountains glow white under a full moon.
Stormfront
The front of a massive storm sweeps towards our campsite on the outskirts of Moab.
