We visited Escalante in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, during Big Trip #1. Escalante was one of our favorite little hiking towns on our first Big Trip. This time we were farther into the off-season, so many stores and restaurants were closed, but we…

Three days in Kanab, UT–Big Trip #2
We visited Kanab in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Kanab is perfectly positioned as a base for exploring the southern part of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, a magical place under threat from the current administration. GSENM was our favorite area on our first Big Trip and we were thrilled to spend some…

Five days in Virgin, UT–Big Trip #2
We visited Virgin in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. We visited Zion for only a half day on our first Big Trip two years ago and didn’t really get why people are obsessed with this National Park. This trip, we wanted to really understand Zion’s appeal, so we stayed close by for…

Zion National Park
We visited Zion NP in November 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. We did a quickie visit to Zion on our first Big Trip in 2016. On our second Big Trip, we had more time to explore and really get to know Zion. It’s a magical place, and because of that, it’s crowded. Just…

We stayed in Valley of the Gods in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. Read here about our second visit in October 2020 during Big Trip #3. Valley of the Gods is along the stretch of boring old red cliffs and dull rolling gray-and-peach striped and folded hills (yes I mean the very opposite of…

Goosenecks State Park, UT
We visited Goosenecks SP in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. Goosenecks State Park is a must-see if you’re in the Monument Valley/Bluff area. The hike down to the river, however, is not so satisfying. Let’s start with the park: it’s a small park, just trails along the rim of the canyon, with incredible views…

Three days in Bluff, Utah–Big Trip #1
We visited Bluff in April 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. We later boondocked just outside Bluff in Valley of the Gods just after this first Bluff visit, and then again in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. There’s not much going on in Bluff, except for the scenery outside of town, and an…
