national park road trip

Samuel had the week off work, so we put our parks pass to good use by touring all five national parks in Utah: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches.  It was gorgeous!  And, aside from the 107 degrees in St. George, it was excellent weather for camping, hiking, and driving scenic byways.  A truly excellent vacation; I'm looking forward to a return trip.

Looks so fun--I'm glad you got away! It was so fun to see you on Sunday, even though it was short! Take care of the Holladay 3rd for me!
