Canyonlands was another park that Justin and I visited on our honeymoon but didn’t get to explore for long, so we were excited to see what was in store for us.  The girls got to enjoy a beautiful campsite full of things to keep their imaginations flowing and we were able to hike/climb some pretty impressive rock buttes.

Thanks to the unexpected daylight savings time change (at least to us this year since we haven’t had cell service to remind us of these things), we were awake earlier than usual and had extra time to stop in Moab to purchase a couple needed items such as fresh veggies before heading to Arches later that afternoon.  Little did we know the daylight savings time would shape our visit so much!

Onto Capitol Reef where we had 5 days to explore.  Justin and I hadn’t really had time to explore this park in much depth during our honeymoon trip years ago, so we were excited to take advantage of what all the park had to offer.

We ended up staying in Bryce Canyon for 2 days in frigid temperatures. The rocks are just so spectacular they almost look like someone painted them orange! We hiked, we biked, we explored and our 2 girls became official Jr Rangers of the park.

The road trip to Zion from our last campsite was smooth sailing with some fun pit stops.  Once at Zion we explored trails and the local scene for 3 day and 2 nights.  What a spectacular place!
