Hiking in Utah!
In May David and I took a wonderful week of vacation in Utah. We camped and hiked our way through the national parks in southern Utah. We spent 2 days hiking at Goblin Valley State Park, hiked a slot canyon at Little Wild Horse, spent 2 days hiking at Arches National Park and Moab (great little town!), 2 days hiking in the rain at Zion National Park (amazing!), and a day exploring at Bryce Canyon National Park (with beautiful weather!). I’ve got about 500+ pictures to go through, and will try to post some in the coming weeks!
