Our trip to the National Parks

Monica and I start our trip tomorrow morning. In talking to some people I realize we may not have let everyone know about our planned adventure.

Monica is taking the final session of her T-Touch class at Best Friends, starting April 15. Best Friends is in Kanab, Utah, which is in the middle of nowhere and the middle of everywhere. Best Friends' site notes that it's a four-hour drive from Las Vegas or an hour and a half if you fly into the regional airport in St. George. But it's also right in the middle of Zion, Bryce Canyon, and the Grand Canyon National Parks. Given that we've never seen that part of the country, I thought it would be fun to join her and vacation in the area for a few days. And if I drove down, we could bring Hunny Bear with us.

Here's our itinerary, which is always subject to change. We hope to be online most evenings and able to post updates, but I'm not quite sure of our Internet access in the middle of the trip.

4/7: Sammamish to Boise
4/8: Boise to Salt Lake City
4/9: Salt Lake City to Springdale, UT; watch King of Queens
4/10: The real vacation begins with a tour of Best Friends, Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. Zion isn't pet friendly, so Hunny Bear will miss out.
4/11: Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Lake Powell, then drive to the Grand Canyon for the night
4/12 - 4/13: Grand Canyon, Red Feather Lodge
4/14: Retrace our steps around the Grand Canyon, back to St George to pick up a rental car for Monica while she's there, then drive back to Kanab for the night
4/15: Monica's class starts, Hunny Bear and Adam begin the drive home
