Calendar Event: Shake down cruise - Escalante Utah Posted: 16 Jan 2016 at 4:23pm |
We have stayed at Escalante and liked it a lot for many of the same reasons - great hiking especially. And the drive from Capitol Reef on State Highway 12 right through to Bryce Canyon is fantastic - especially the portion they call the "Devil's Backbone". Scenery galore.

Hopefully, we will be able to do more than 2 week stints once I retire. Still plan on working another 3 years and then will be able to spend more time exploring and traveling. Being a golf course superintendent doesn't allow oneself to camp/travel during the nice months of May thru August.

jato, we are in the same boat. Multiple 4-week whirlwinds with the kids, although at least we've divided it up into 4 sections/years. The plan for retirement is the longer stays like you describe.

We seem to get in a habit of more is better when it comes to seeing a lot of different areas w/o really exploring what each has to offer. When our kids were younger we would go on a 2 week bonanza of trying to see the whole west. Ha, we did that several times and barely scratched the surface. Now since it is back to 2 of us we pick one place as our destination and stay there for at least 1 week minimum. The last 3 out of 4 years we have only been to Glacier and Rocky Mtn. National Park (2x). Plan on going back again to RMNP again either next year or for certain, Lord willing, 2017.
Great pictures, kind of neat 2 of you had the same shot - photoshop? just kidding. |

May is still good, not too hot yet and usually not too crowded yet.

Does this picture resemble your first picture? R-Pod owners must think alike.

That was the first time we spent a whole week in one place. We were worried we were going to get bored being in one place that long. Ha, we never made it the 115 miles to Zion on that trip. Way too much stuff to do around there. I liked that trip better than this year. Vegas put a damper on things. We don't regret going to Vegas, (Wedding was nice) but we've been there, done that.
We will be back! How is it out there in May? Better or nearly as good as early Sept? |
