We have traveled our entire lives. As child, my parents told us to get in the car and we got on the road. A large part of my childhood was spent on road trips all over the United States. We put some serious mileage on all of our cars. We do the same thing today although not quite as often. We love to hit the road as family but we try not to drive more than 7 hours anywhere.
This year we have been looking for hiking options in both Utah and Colorado. I am loving the options for Utah and especially Bryce Canyon. Get to know Bryce Canyon Country in Utah.
