Constrichnine is maybe the best of the 3. Also try the minislots. Morocco is good, Hogwarts. they got water in them now, should be really fun. You done both side branches of Leprechaun - you done the center???Quote:

So it will be all new to them. Not real excited to hike out of there twice if it's 90.
It looks like we will be going down early Sat morning and coming home on Sunday night. One of the girls has to play cheerleader and cannot get out of it.
If I think it is to hot may go do Pleaides and hang in Moab. None of them have done it. Basically have no set plan. Would like to stay close to asphalt just do to the amount of time we have.
I wouldn't mind trying the Cap Reef stuff but do not want to have to deal with the shuttle headaches.
What about foolin around?

i would recommend monkey business before fooling around.
Throw dinner and a movie before that, and I'd concur.Quote:

I really like Capitol Reef and consider it the hidden gem of the Utah NP's.
You can get all the free billiard-sized apples you want for free (or whatever orchard they have opened the day you are there) if you go this time of year. Free Fruit = good. If you haven't got an interagency pass, it's only $5 to get in? Best bargain in the parks system.Quote:

A couple of other canyons that you might want to consider.... Baptist Draw, Knotted Rope and Quandary. All three are fun and pretty easy with competent leadership. I took my family through Quandary and Knotted Rope when the kids were 6 and 8 and they still talk about that trip.
Undercover and Winter Camp in Moab are good (and dry) if you still haven't done them yet.
The girls have voted for Moab. Going to hit Pleaides one day and then who knows what else. They want to do some jeeping also.
North Wash in October.:clap:
Hotel, pool, nice resturants, flush toliets, hot showers.... got it :nod:Quote:
