Great post and lovely pictures made me homesick for southern Utah. Did you make it to Moab and Zion on your trip, they are both worth the time to visit if you are in Utah, and temperature wise I would say Feb-April is the best time to be there. Every time I have gone to Bryce canyon it has snowed on me including both Memorial and Labor day. Hope to see more of your travel blogs.
Thank you! We have spent three days in Moab, so many things to see in the area :) In Zion we only checked out Kolob canyon, but we are planning to check the main part from South on our way back. Utah is amazing place, you are lucky to grow up there :)
