my favorite part of our country! gorgeous, all of them. when we went to zion many years ago i got up before light, still on east coast time. started running from the lodge, up into the canyon. pretty much a religious experience as the sun started to come up.
my first trip with lou when we were dating was to Arizona - had never been. we started in sedona (long time ago, before it got disney-ish) and camped our way through grand canyon, monument valley, canyon de chelly and the white mountains.
went to UT with the kids - but only bryce and zion. so much more to see! LOVELY!!!!
