While we didn’t make it to all of them (that’s you Spearfish Canyon) we did make it to two and one of those was the Needles Highway in the Black Hills.

Our time in the Black Hills in October was packed full of hikes and scenic drives.  The first drive we did, well I guess second if the Custer Wildlife Loop counts, was Iron Mountain Road from Custer State Park to Mount Rushmore.

One of the things I’ve wanted to do since my first summer in Bullfrog is to visit Valley of the Gods.  Well, it was one of the first things I did once I got here for the season.  Off we went on a cold, windy, and cloudy day in April for what I had very high expectation of.

I drove past Potash Road in Moab so many times and had no idea what was down there.  Then I saw a picture of Corona Arch and found out that was down Potash road then had to go, but what else is there? 

One evening after spending the afternoon in Arches, we decided to head down Potash Road just outside of Moab to see what the deal was.
