I have been in Utah many years ago but there are still many places that I want to visit. My main focus on this trip is to visit such places like Upper/Lower Antelope canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Monument Valley. If time permits, I would like to revisit Utah National Parks and its state parks and everything in between. Utah/Arizona's weather is very hot in the Summer months so the roadtrip in May is the perfect time to visit. The weather was fluctuating from low 40F to high 80F so layering is the way to go. I experienced hailstorm, thunderstorm, cold rain etc... luckily most of the time, the weather was quite nice when i did some hiking. Here are a few photos of each day of the trip. Hope you enjoy them!

Initially i booked tickets to see Lower Antelope Canyon but decided to cancel since it became so touristic. I decided to rent Kayak and visit the free version of Canyon in our own time and enjoy a short hike! I highly recommended.

This waterfall was a surprise! There isn't much info regarding to this beautiful place. It's in Calf Creek Recreation Area on Scenic Drive 12. You hike 3 miles in and you will be rewarded!
Kodachrome State Park in Utah! You know where they get this name from. It is a beautiful place for a side trip if it is on your way.

Bryce National Park - I was there many years ago but this time, I really want to hike down and have more time to explore. You can see patch of snow because there was a snow storm a week early according to the Park Ranger that I talked to.
Date 9 - 06/02/2019: Zion National Park (Angels Landing)
Date 9 - 06/02/2019: Zion National Park (Angels Landing)
Zion National Park - I did not climb to the top of Angels Landing 18 years ago because my nephew and nieces were small and i did not want to put them in danger. The hike was not that hard but the view from the top was spectacular! I felt like i redeemed myself with this hiking before heading home.
