Utahista on pikapikaa tullut oma lemppariosavaltioni, jossa näkemistä ja tekemistä riittää. Reissuja sinne on kertynyt useampia koska osa mieheni perheestä asuu siellä. Olemme ajaneet Utahiin sekä pohjoisesta, että etelästä, ja kiertäneet suurimman osan sen kansallispuistoista. Luonto Utahissa on aivan mahtava! On punaisia kallioita, kanjoneita, erilaisia kivimuodostelmia, vuoria ja kuumia lähteitä. Talvi-ihmisillekin Utah tarjoaa lumisia maisemia…
Hiking the Toadstool Hoodoos Trail in Grand Staircase-Escalante, Utah is much fun! The trail is great also for kids and doesn’t take too long. We have done many road trips and going around in Utah since we have some family living there. Any time we visit them we try to combine it to a visit…
We are a quite adventurous family when it comes to both traveling and food. While getting older, I have noticed that I can’t be talked into so many silly things anymore as when I was younger, but I’m usually happy to try new foods and especially local delicacies. This time we happened to be in…
Perheemme on varsin seikkailunhakuinen niin matkojen kuin ruoankin suhteen. Itselleni kun on ikää tullut lisää, niin en ehkä lähde yhtä helposti enää kaikenlaisiin hullutuksiin mukaan, mutta maistan mielelläni paikallisia ruokia eri reissuilla. Tällä kertaa satuimme paikkaan, jonka laittaisin nyt juurikin tuonne hullutusten kategoriaan, ja tuli maistettua jotakin mitä ei ihan joka paikassa ole edes tarjolla….
Matkamme Utahissa jatkui pääsiäisen jälkeen. Vietimme siis pääsiäistä perheen kesken, sillä kokoonnuimme sukulaisten kanssa Snow Canyon State Parkiin sirottelemaan isoisomummin tuhkat vuorille. Se oli tämän road trippimme perimmäinen tarkoitus. Seuraavana päivänä söimme porukalla pääsiäisbrunssin The Fish Rock Grille At The Ledges -ravintolassa, joka sijaitsee St. Georgen kaupungissa. Pääsiäispupukin oli sinne eksynyt ilahduttamaan lapsia. Harvemmin tulee…
We continued our trip after the Easter in St. George in Utah. While there, we visited beautiful Snow Canyon to scatter our Great Gramma’s ashes in the mountains, as she had always wished. We also had an Easter brunch with our extended family before heading to our next destination. We rarely get to see so…
It’s finally time to update some travel news from our road trip to Utah and Arizona. Our schedule on trips is usually pretty busy, and I don’t want to use my time by being at my laptop. This time I at least managed to post some travel photos along the road from Nevada. The main…
Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah are truly like from another world! If you are driving by it is definitely worth a stop especially on a sunny day. On our recent road trip we decided to stop at Bonneville Salt Flats to snap some photos. On a clear, sunny weather they look amazing, and it’s a…
Seven Wives Inn is a bed & breakfast in Utah named after a polygamist with seven wives. We stayed there and this is what it was like. On our recent road trip we had planned to stay in St. George which is in Southern Utah. Instead of a hotel, we had booked a room from…
Today marks the 100th birthday of the United States National Park Service. On August 25th, 1916, the act to establish the national parks in the US was signed by president Woodrow Wilson. The very first national park, Yellowstone, was actually protected before that. Today, there is already 413 protected national park units. My most unforgettable…
We spent our last travel day in Utah in Salt Lake City. We left Midway in the morning and stopped at Vineyard by Lake Utah to visit family. After that we still had several hours before our flight home. This was not our first time in Salt Lake City so we had already visited some…
