    Greetings from the Garden State

    Hello all,
    I've been browsing around these forums for a couple weeks in preparation for my first trip to southern UT, which is next week. My wife and I got into hiking last year after a trip out to the Berner Oberland in Switzerland. While we were out there we stayed in this awesome little cabin in the alps. I took the shot below from the cabin.

    We chose Utah for the big trip this year since the scenery seems vastly different. I'm so excited for the trip but at the same time overwhelmed by how much there is to see. I'm going to post something in the hiking forum asking for ideas-- please chip in if you can.

    Bryan

    Welcome to the site, we transplanted from NJ a few years ago. Careful Utah is addictive.

    Hi bryan, and welcome!

    I've posted in your other thread, but just wanted to say hello here. (I figured Win would chime in, being a Garden Stater!)

    Utah is indeed addictive. I first visited 3 years ago, and have been back for 6 more trips since that one. It's totally different from what I'm used to as well (the temperate rainforests of British Columbia).

    Hope you enjoy your trip, and remember to tread lightly - impacts on the desert last a long time! I'm very jealous - I got back 9 days ago, and already can't wait 'til my next trip in October! (Then New Years, then April '09...)

    Thanks Cirrus. Re: treading lightly, I was recently in Vermont and I saw bumper stickers that read "Don't Jersey Vermont". I'll try not to Jersey Utah.

    Like a lot of Jerseyites these days, I'd be happy to leave for someplace cheaper and more beautiful if I could find a good job elsewhere!

    Welcome. I lived in Jersey once. Visited Utah in 1979 (I know, before most people here were born) and haven't stopped coming back. It is addictive.

    No way most of us were not born yet in 1979. I thought I was one of the youngest guys here!
