While exploring Capitol Reef National Park, we hit an unexpected (and literal) bump in the road and ended up in Provo, Utah! Considering how long we were on the road, it’s honestly shocking that we didn’t have more issues with our truck or Airstream. I mean, if we were living at home we’d surely have some problems with our house. Now imagine dragging that house behind a huge truck and driving it all across the country!
Our sunset hike at Capitol Reef National Park closed out our tour of Utah parks. Winter might not be everyone’s favorite time of year to visit Utah national parks, but we loved it. Walking through miles of red soil and snow drifts was the perfect way to spend the colder months of the year.
Read MoreCanyonlands National Park is the massive Utah park near Arches and Zion National Park. It’s the perfect place to escape the crowds that usually descend upon those more popular parks, and the views are just as stunning.
Read MoreCanyonlands National Park is the largest park in Utah. Despite its size, or maybe because of it, it was significantly less crowded than any of the other Utah parks we visited.

If you go to Arches, you kind of have to check out the Delicate Arch.

Read MoreSometimes when we visit a national park we drive to all the park highlights. Not the case with Arches National Park! We picnicked and hiked and got real close and personal with those beautiful natural arches. We were tired and maybe a little tired of each other by the end of the difficult hike, but it was so worth it!
Read MoreIs traveling the US and seeing 31 national parks amazing and super cool? YES. But we’re kidding ourselves if we don’t admit that we are equally invested this adventure for the food. In Moab, we found everything we could want! Great eats, fun kid activities, and beautiful views.

Read MoreIf Zion National Park was a winter wonderland, then Bryce Canyon was a whole other level! We headed farther into Utah for deeper drifts and colder temps, and we were not disappointed.
Read MoreIt’s mid-June and most of the western US is currently experiencing record-setting heat. This week’s vlog showing off our trip to Zion National Park will be like a breath of fresh air— or a dip in an icy stream. When we visited Zion National Park, there was snow on the ground, dried leaves on all the trees, and best of all no people!
