It wasn’t until we crossed into Utah, and headed south, that we realized we had gotten use to seeing everything through a smoky haze. Scenic Byway 12 was the perfect place for the air to clear and our first glimpses of Red Canyon seemed to be in high definition. The state of Utah could qualify as one enormous National Park and with only three weeks to spend here we are like “kids in a candy shop”, planning our schedule. So far we’ve spent three nights at Jordanelle State Park, near Heber Valley, then traveled to Escalante Petrified Forest State Park for our first full week. After day one we are happy but a bit overwhelmed with so much at our fingertips.
