    Trip To Utah National Parks

    September 12, 2011 by Kankana Saxena

    “The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson

    To cover three national parks in three days was not easy, but we did it! A trip that we had been planning for a while now, finally happened. There were long hours of driving and long minutes of trekking 🙂  And then, there were lonely highways with no services for miles after miles, which made us wonder if we were the only one visiting the place!

    Overall, it was fun ride and a place worth visiting.. only wished we had more time in hand 🙂

    Day 1 at Bryce Canyon National Park

    Day 2 at Arches National Park

    Day 3 at Zion National Park

      Hi Kankana, Such beautiful parks and pics! You must have had a wonderful time seeing with your own eyes all these marvelous places. It reminds me our family trip back in 1995 to the Grand Canyon! Yeh, sometimes you feel alone in the desert! Scary!
      Thanks for sharing.
