Utah Hiking Trip
Joan F. would like to lead a trip to Utah, visiting The Arches and Canyonland National Parks. Maybe a day raft trip? Open to any other ideas. This would be a trip for all levels of experience. The parks offer both easy and hard hikes. Camping can be done in both parks, but backpacking is not necessary. I would probably drive to Utah and include any interested members and all camping gear, so that would not be a problem. I am thinking of early to mid October. There are flights into Salt Lake City, Utah and Flagstaff, Arizona. The driving distance is about the same to Moab, Utah, where the parks are located. If you are interested in this trip, please contact Joan f. See newsletter for e-mail address. |
