Leaving for a long overdue #vacation early tomorrow so any posting will likely be images over 9 days in southern #Utah.
We’ve been married for nearly 15 years but never took a honeymoon, so this is sorta it now that we’re empty nesters. The schedule is relatively fluid, taking it day by day, with St. George as our “base camp”. The entire trip is inspired by this amazing video as we enjoy hiking & haven’t been to Utah yet.
Having never been to #Utah before, the last 10 miles up from Arizona to St. George was an amazing drive. I-15 is carved through the mountains with each curve of the road displaying a beautiful new sight to behold.
This part made up for the first half of the 2 hour drive from Vegas which is bland by comparison. #vacation#Nature
After an incredible breakfast at the Black Bear Diner, we hiked the Owen's Loop Trail just north of St. George, #Utah. Amazing views! #Vacation#Hiking#Nature
@kevinctofel Beautiful. Looks like the hike we went on with 3 kids in 1999 on Narrows Trail. No lines of cars anywhere in 1999, this year is the worst for traveling after the pandemic 🙁
@kevinctofel beautiful pictures. I would recommend that you hike the narrows as it's an amazing hike and you end up only getting about waist deep in water.
Likely the last #vacation photos I'll post now that the #Utah portion of the trip is done. Recharging back in #Vegas a few nights before flying back to Pennsylvania. Suite at MGM Signature is like a small apartment with a balcony for some nice night shots. #Photography
BTW: All trip photos were taken with a #Pixel7Pro.
@kevinctofel I’ve made this drive about 14 times so far this year. I always appreciate the beauty and can say it’s worth revisiting since each season, each type of weather and each time of day shows it in very different ways. I’m told the drive to St George “the back way” north of Mesquite is also very beautiful and I look forward to trying that out soon.
@kevinctofel There is a wonderful hotel there, the Lodge at Bryce Canyon, built in 1924-25. They’ve maintained it with the same materials and paint, so it looks pretty much as it did when it was built. Decent burgers!
