Bryce Canyon National Park is stunning and it’s a must see for anyone traveling the southwestern United States. Most visitors will plan their visits for the warmer months when hiking is more enjoyable and the weather is more pleasant. However, Bryce Canyon National Park is open all year round, so it’s still possible to visit …
Zion National Park is beautiful and can be visited all year round. While many travelers focus their trips on summer and shoulder seasons (I personally recommend traveling in fall), Zion is still open to visitors in winter. However, before you pack up for a trip to Zion National Park in the winter, there’s a few …
Bryce Canyon National Park is spectacular with its iconic hoodoos littering the bottom of the canyon. While it’s cool to take in the views from the rim (you’ll find so many incredible view points), another fantastic option is to hike into the canyon. Through most of the year, you can do this without too much …

It’s no secret that my first visit to Bryce Canyon didn’t go well. Rain and fog are not conducive to exploring a national park. But, I returned two and a half years later for redemption. I still haven’t done everything at Bryce Canyon National Park (the weather seriously has it out for me!), but I’ve …
Utah’s Snow Canyon State Park is an unexpected delight. It was not part of my original itinerary, but got added on when I found out it wasn’t going to be possible to do one of the hikes I wanted at Zion National Park. In the end, I think it worked out well, especially because over …
Zion National Park in Utah is full of amazing hikes. From short hikes with stunning views to adventurous climbs that are sure to get your adrenaline pumping, there’s a hike for everyone at this national park.
