Road tripping/scouting Utah, What Are Must Do/See?
|
Hey all, I'm going to the Shelf Road Craggin classic this coming weekend in CO and then have the week off before the Moab Craggin Classic so I decided I should road trip around a big and see some stuff I haven't before, and figure out what stuff I'd like to come back to in the future. |

I would go with your idea, Zion you can see in mostly 2+ days depending on how much climbing you want to do. Bryce and Capital Reef both take no more than a day. I would recommend some slot canyons on the drive through Escalante, Zebra and peekaboo come to mind. The maze district is okay but for how far out it is and the time committed, I would pass. Enjoy your trip. |

+1 for Escalante, definitely the most underrated / under appreciated part of Utah |
|
Hard to go wrong in Utah. |

Utah is over rated and crowded. Head to Arizona for better rock and beer. Sheeps Head, Lemmon ect.. |
|
Bump because I'm curious. |

Pariah canyon/buckskin gulch is worth seeing as well as the wave. Both places are dependent on no rain in the forecast. From Bryce canyon we drove scenic highway 12 on our way to moab. There is a grill in the middle of nowhere on highway 12 with some great burgers on the menu. Might be in the little town of boulder. If you are not going to climb then take a mtb bike and ride. Take a lot of tubes and maybe even an extra tire. Have fun. |

A few miles south of Boulder. 3 miles (iirc) round trip starting from the Calf Creek campground. |
