April Trip - Snowbird, Utah

We're needing to use our timeshare points - and we're aiming for driving distance destinations.

This time Utah - available was a studio in the Wasatch Mountains in Snowbird, near Alta (near Salt Lake City). We have discovered it is a skier's paradise at the tail end of the season. But first:

Getting there -

Hi all - first night El Centro, CA (not Yuma), second night Williams, AZ (not Flagstaff) but we find we do prefer the smaller towns. El Centro was smelly - maybe next time we'll try for Brawley. We stayed at The Lodge on Route 66 in Williams and what a delight. It's an old town with historic buildings still being used (in new ways) and also the start of the rail trip to the Grand Canyon, tempting, but this is our UTAH trip. We'll save it for our No. Arizona trip.

We've really enjoyed the variety of scenery today. It is such an amazing and spectacular country we live in. There is an interesting visitor center at Lake Powell and Glen Canyon Dam. We were there late afternoon and the side lighting was really pretty. We arrived in Kanab (not far from Arizona border) soon after and went for our walk after finding a place to stay. It's been warm here so I'm glad I brought two warm weather outfits at the last minute. Lots and lots of cold weather stuff we brought that hasn't been touched. Hopefully we'll be acclimated to elevation (currently 5000 ft) by the time we get to our destination (11,000 ft). So far, so good.

Phone last night but no internet. Internet tonight but no Sprint service. And it wasn't THAT long ago that we didn't have either.
