Having found SW Colorado too snowy, we headed to SE Utah, only a couple hours drive away. This is the location of Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, as well as Bryce, Capital Reef, Zion and a host of other parks and monuments, all with great scenery. The weather was great, somewhat warmer, somewhat less snow and clear blue skies. So we camped and hiked. The highpoint so far was a 11 mile round trip hike down into the Colorado River canyon, using a seasonal 4x4 "road". It was great and the accompanying picture shows the area.
Last night it rained and snowed a bit, but the weather is expected to clear up and we plan some more hiking over the next couple of days before we head off further north and towards home. I'll upload pictures later on of all these fascinating areas.
