Alex asks: >So... where do Utahns go on vacation? Off the top of my head, in no particular order, with spotty memory, in the 6 years we've (spouse and I) been here we've gone to..... Moab/Canyonlands/Capital Reef NP/Mesa Verde NP/Escalante & Grand Staircase National Monument - multiple visits Zion NP Bryce NP Death Valley NP Bishop/Owens River Valley/Mammoth Lakes CA Glacier NP Penticton (Okanagan Valley) BC - twice Portland/Upper Willamette Valley OR Jackson/Tetons/Yellowstone - multiple visits Vegas & Red Rocks National Conservation Area - multiple visits Mad River Valley, VT NJ (family visits, xmas and t-giving) Grand Canyon NP San Francisco Telluride and environs, CO Los Angeles area Does length of time matter? Some of the above were merely long weekends. Does it have to be out of state? We have 5 national parks in Utah and another 8 - 10 national monuments. Many consider a week in one of the NPs a vacation. Of course living here is like living in a vacation resort year round. -marc www.mchrusch.com My blog: http://sentientsand.blogspot.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
