Utah (and a bit of Arizona, California and Nevada)

We Canadians can deal with the cold, but the heat not so much. So what better time to explore the desert than in the middle of winter with lower temperatures and fewer crowds. So we packed our bags and flew into Las Vegas to take a road trip through southern Utah to explore the “Mighty Five” national parks, along with a few other nearby national and state parks
National Parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches, Grand Canyon and Death Valley
Other Places: Snow Canyon State Park, Antelope Canyon and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
