Utah road trip

Post by Carp »

We left Calgary April 29th and traveled south to Red Rock national park in Nevada and spent 4 days climbing before going to Zion National park in Utah and hiking up to Angels landing. Crowded but spectacular. We visited a couple of slot canyons in the Escalante area

and we spent several days in Moab exploring and climbing before visiting Yellowstone on our return trip home. It was an incredible trip. A couple of pictures cannot begin to show the beauty of Southern Utah.
We drove about 8000 kilometers and paid a total of 4 dollars in accommodations (not including the $30 back country pass to canyonlands). That was the second trip to Moab for the Delica and we had no problems except for two flat tires.
