My 2 year old son and I got in late Wednesday night. For some reason, it takes longer to get a 2 year old ready for his very first camping trip than I thought. ^_^
The campgrounds were full, but that was perfectly fine. We found some great privacy about a mile away just around the corner.
The mornings were a little chilly but around noon was T-shirt weather. Thursday we spent about 4-5 hours in Goblin Valley, we went back to attempt a nap but watched movies on the laptop in the tent. We then went driving around and exploring.
I found the "Fat Mans Misery" location known on geocaching.com (not the Fat Man's Misery canyon near Zion)
We headed back today, Friday morning. We took our time getting back, taking I-70, making a few stops at the scenic rest areas. I also had to show him the "big bridge" over Eagle Canyon.

I could only think of the Zion canyon too. Here's the link I was shown with the description:

You can either upload pictures under 256kb in size, or you can link to them like I did from places like picasaweb, flickr n such, by using the Img button. |
