Last July I went to Bryce Canyon for the first time. This June I went back and it was totally different. This time it was nice and warm and sunny. This trip was a bit more spontaneous, but being only 5ish hours away this summer, I figured, why not?
It was my birthday and I wanted to go somewhere. After rounding up some new friends, we set off for Capitol Reef with, well, no plan. After following Burr Trail to the end of the paved section, we went left to get to Capitol Reef. The first part of it is really pretty, but instead of going straight to follow Notom Road, we went left to continue up the switchbacks on Burr.

On our little adventure out west last summer we couldn’t decide if we wanted to go to Canyonlands or not. We didn’t. This time around we decided we needed to go. We couldn’t be in Moab again and not go. That’s just ridiculous.
Ok, so I didn’t go back to the Badlands. It was my first time there. I just liked the sound of it. I was so excited to see the Badlands. It’s probably what I was looking forward to the most for the drive out to Bullfrog.

The other day, I realized in my posts about the road trip, in order, I forgot about Zion. Oops! I’m not even sure how I forgot about it. It was the third National Park we visited out of five. It wasn’t my favorite. You already know Arches was probably my favorite with Bryce Canyon at a close second.

New Mexico is hot. Like, way hotter than I expected. Most of the road trip was around the 80’s temperature wise, but not New Mexico. It was all right around 100. After the hot air balloon ride in Albuquerque, we told one of the guys on the balloon team we were going to Roswell and he asked why. We weren’t really sure. Aliens I guess? Then he suggested Carlsbad Caverns because it was close. So we did it, we went there. Porque no?
