We drove from Moab to Grand Junction CO. We took a jet boat tour on the Colorado River with the funniest guide I have ever heard. His humor was dry and completely deadpan so it would be one of those "you just had to be there." We were crying ... Read more >

We decided to go to Canyonlands in the morning after dying in the heat at Arches at sunset. We packed every water bottle we had and we were on our way. We hiked a very short hike to the Mesa Arch. Noah was climbing on every rock he could-giving me ... Read more >

We have packed our sweatshirts away and realized that the expression "only gringos and donkeys go out in the heat of the day" has tremendous merit. We started figuring out what to do about 9 am and realized we had already lost our morning window ... Read more >

We had stopped at Mesa Verde on the way to Moab. Getting back in the car, driving 27 miles back to the entrance and then on the Moab made for one long day. It wasn't that many more miles than we had driven previously, it just seemed like a much harder ... Read more >
