It was Saturday and time to hit the road to explore some new corner of Utah that I hadn’t seen yet. I picked up my brother David and headed…. north. In a rare departure from my goal to explore all of southern Utah, on this day we headed north. We drove to Hyrum Utah and then […]

It was the Memorial Day holiday weekend and in compliance with family tradition, we headed for the family cabin near Flaming Gorge Reservoir north of Vernal Utah. At the cabin on Saturday morning, I loaded up my son and one daughter along with my brother so we could drive out to Browns Park for a […]

On Saturday, David and I drove down to the San Rafael Swell to do a little hiking up Ernie Canyon on the east side of the Swell, southwest of Green River Utah. The day was sunny and every wildflower or cactus seemed to be in bloom. It was “beauteous”! It took us a while to […]

Saturday morning I picked up my brother, David in my Ford Explorer Sport and we headed for southern Utah — again. I wanted to explore the area west of Goblin Valley which was an area we had not yet stuck our curious noses. We didn’t leave real early and it was about noon before we […]

On Friday the 13th of April, my wife and I traveled to Vernal Utah to stay overnight with my parents. The next day we drove into Colorado so we could explore the Colorado side of the Dinosaur National Monument. Note: OK, this isn’t officially a Utah Trip Report but I’ve always believed this area should […]

On Saturday April 7th, David and I were again headed south to explore some corner of Utah. This time we headed to Capital Reef National Park where we parked next to the park highway and hiked south up into Cohab Canyon. It was kind of exciting to be out hiking in warm weather again but after being […]

Saturday I took a solo drive south down through Ferron Utah and then east out to Molen Utah. From Molen I picked my way around the jeep trails until I was a short distance to the east in a bend of Ferron Creek that cuts into the clay cliffs called ‘The Box’. Here there were pictographs […]

It was Saturday again and the day promised to be fair and warm. I picked up David in my Ford Explorer and we headed for the San Rafael Swell west of Green River Utah. The first stop was Spirit Twin Arches at the top of a short canyon just to the north of the I-70 freeway just […]

Spring was right around the corner and the snow was mostly melted in Utah Valley. It was time to head south to see how the winter is fairing in Moab Utah. Saturday David and I drove down to Arches National Park just north of Moab for the day. After bumping around the main park roads […]

On Saturday, my wife and I decided it was time to get out of town. Monday was a holiday so we meant to make it a long weekend together. We drove down to Bluff Utah and spent the night before continuing on down into Arizona the next day. The weather was mostly clear and sunny […]
