The Best of the Southwest

Divided into two parts, featuring a 7-day and a 14-day trip out of the hub city of Salt Lake City, Utah. It covers a rather loosely defined geographical area of Eastern Utah ... Flaming Gorge, Dinosaur National Monument, The Wedge and Buckhorn Wash area of the San Rafael River, Arches National Park, Moab, Canyonlands National Park, the Abajo and Manti-LaSal Mountains, unique Mormon towns like Monticello, Blanding, and Bluff, the San Juan River and Mexican Hat, the Goosenecks, the Moki Dugway, Muley Twist, Cedar Mesa and Grand Gulch, Natural Bridges and the infamous Bears Ears, White Canyon, the weird crossroads town of Hanksville and the spooky ghost town of Hite on the dried up shores of Lake Powell, Goblin Valley, Capitol Reef, Fish Lake, the volcanic hills of the Koosharem Valley, the techno-towns of Provo and Orem, and then back to the grand Temple in Salt Lake City.
