after a bunch of trips to arches, we spent the friday of our first week in moab taking a trip out to canyonlands. we didn’t really have a game plan except to get out of the camper, pick up junior ranger books, get some information about the park, and figure out one small hike. after […]
utah
arches national park.double, delicate, sand dunes.
we have had a pretty great week. after our visit to goblin valley state park, we decided that our location was pretty much the worst, so we packed up to move closer to moab, which was our next spot. this gave us nearly another full week, making almost 4 weeks in the area, so even […]
goblin valley state park.
between salt lake city and moab, we found ourselves camping on a bit of BLM land mostly in the middle of nowhere. the closest thing for us to do (unless you count gas stations) was goblin valley state park. so, on sunday, we picked up subway lunches (from said gas station) and made our way […]
boise and salt lake city miscellany.
our down time in boise and salt lake city was pretty uneventful, so i’m crammimg all of the uneventfulness into one blog post. firstly. boise. we had high hopes of a lot of adventures. we did manage to hit up the capitol, the old penitentiary, and the science center. but, then a crazy amount of […]
antelope island with some fave friends.

golden spike national historic site.
on our travel day from craters of the moon to salt lake city, we found ourselves very far ahead of derek. we decided this was a good opportunity to take a detour to the golden spike national historic site. we had investigated it during our last trip to salt lake city, but it was a […]
single mom week in utah.
after our long, boring week in duchesne, utah, we made our way to heber city, just outside of salt lake city. we needed to be near an airport, so derek could fly out for work for the week. derek put us up in a fancy pants rv park with all the best amenities, and close […]
middle-of-nowhere, utah.
after our dinosaur national monument weekend, we headed down the road a bit to a campground just outside duchesne, utah. there was very little to do in the area. we took it as an opportunity to lay low, regroup, and get back into a bit of a routine. once we were settled in, we got […]
dinosaur national monument
on saturday, we rolled into our 22nd state, leaving colorado and entering utah. we camped at dinosaur national monument, which spans both states. after we settled in to our campsite (which wasn’t hard, because we didn’t have any hookups – sewer, electric, or water. which means we basically just parked), we headed over to the […]
