This post is part of our pre-trip planning for our big trip in Fall 2022. HERE IS OUR POST-TRIP RETROSPECTIVE! [We’ve updated the plan since this post and our route looks pretty different now!] We are freshly home from our last trip and are itching to get back out there, so we’re thrilled to be…

One night in Valley of the Gods, UT (visit #2)–Big Trip #3
We stayed in Valley of the Gods in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. Read here about our first visit in 2016, during Big Trip #1. I spilled the beans about a super boondocking spot in my last post, so might as well keep rolling with the theme and tell you about another one. Valley…

Two days just outside Capitol Reef National Park, UT–Big Trip #3
We visited Capitol Reef in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit to Capitol Reef here in 2016. After fueling up with a delicious breakfast outside Escalante, we zipped down the road to Capitol Reef National Park. We’d been to Capitol Reef before, and based ourselves in the little town…

Two days in Escalante, UT (visit #3)–Big Trip #3
We visited Escalante in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, and our second visit in 2018 here. Northern Utah is great, but southern Utah is really special. There’s something about those red/orange/white/swirly deserts that keeps us coming back. This was our third visit to Escalante; read…

Four days in Park City, UT (visit #2)–Big Trip #3
We visited Park City in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our visit in 2018 here during Big Trip #2. Park City is a fun stop. The hiking is incredible, the food and cocktails are delicious, and with a big commercial area near the campground, you can easily restock supplies and run…

One night in Logan, UT–Big Trip #3
We visited Logan in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. With a one-day gap between Ketchum and our next stop, Park City, we looked for a spot along the way to spend the night in the woods with easy access to a morning hike, like we had in Stanley. We found it in Logan!…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #2
I’m not doing a very good job keeping you all (Uncle Jim, I think it’s only you at this point) updated on our travels, am I? We’re packing so much into our days that I’m not super motivated to write posts at night, but don’t worry, I’m taking notes about our adventures and slowly working…

Tarantulas!
All through my formative years, my aunt and uncle had a pet tarantula. A strange choice of pet, no doubt, but Uncle Jim loves the Desert Southwest more than just about anyone else I know, so I guess it made an odd sort of sense. My first tarantula-cousin was a male named Fred who came…

One night in Monticello, Utah–Big Trip #2
We visited Monticello in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. This wasn’t a well-planned stop. Our intention was to spend two nights in Monticello and have easy access to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park… but it’s still an hour drive to the Needles Visitor Center from Monticello, and a whopping two hours to…

Three days in Moab (visit #2, or 3?)–Big Trip #2
We visited Moab in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our previous visits during Big Trip #1 in 2016 here and here. Moab is a fun town! If you are a hiker or mountain biker with an appreciation for stunning red sandstone vistas, you’ll be happy here. Despite our favorite quesadilla…
