Tour of Southern Utah

We went on a big trip over last weekend.  We drove about 1,000 miles and visited a bunch of the coolest places in Utah.  It was definitely not a relaxing trip.
Wednesday we drove to Green River
Thursday we drove to Goblin Valley, Capitol Reef, and Torrey.
Friday we drove to Kodachrome Basin, Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, and Hurricane
Saturday we drove to Zions and then to St. George
Sunday we drove home.

Here is Cruz at a park in Green River

Goblin Valley.  Mace sure looks happy to be there.



Mace had fun playing hide and seek and jumping off the rocks










Lyndsay spotted some Desert Bighorn Sheep on the side of the road in Capitol Reef.




There are some awesome petroglyphs on the side of the road.


My favorite picture from the trip.


We watched some awesome storm clouds blow through.  The thunder would echo off of the cliffs; making it especially eerie.  Sadly, that same day a guy in Bryce Canyon was struck by lightning. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/52421242-78/lightning-kunz-bryce-canyon.html.csp
