Now the perplexing question of just where to go?
If you enjoy wide open spaces, room to stretch your arms, various locations to see lots of beautiful Mother Nature, and not too far to drive to from Our Town...
How about the Beehive State – UTAH?
Because Utah is on the way to/from our beloved Jackson Hole, Wyoming, we have traveled through it several times over the past 35 or so years. We’ve flown over it many more times than driving, but the on-the-ground experiences of this diverse western state are the best.
For a state that is 13th in size and has only 29 counties, Utah has an amazing number of units managed by our National Park Service. Those numbers are seven national monuments, two national recreation areas, one national historical site and five national parks. It is these “crown jewels,” the five national parks, I will briefly describe, and, possibly, feature some of the state’s other NPS sites in another installment.
