Well... in about another month Ill be heading out west to the AZ to check out the Grand Canyon and a lot of National Parks in UT & CO. Ill be flying into AZ and then road trippin' around with the mrs.

If any of you know of "must see" spots out there, then help a fellow 4-Head out and let me know what they are.... if you are local and know what to expect weather wise in late may that would be helpful as well.
Thanks

I've never been out there, but I would love to go someday. You and the Mrs. have a blast out there.

in May??? Expect sun....lots and lots of sun.

And hit up four corners.....I've lived in Utah most of my life, been to the GC several times, Lake Powell, Glen canyon dam, etc....but never been to the four corners....

we are going to see 4 corners & we are scheduled to rent a boat on lake powell for a 2 days. I was wondering if its worth it to drive to the salt flats and check that out while in UT.
Thanks for the info

Well..unless they are racing there.....then there isn't much to see.

Ever see Independence Day?? The part where Will Smith is dragging the alien through the desert in a parachute was filmed on the salt flats. Thats pretty much all there is.

Or how about Pirates of the Carabean 3?? The Part where Johnny Depp is on a boat in the middle of no-where?? Well...guess where "No-where" is....

Most of the cool scenic national parks are in southern UT anyways.

^^^Confirm.

Its amazes me that there are no cool speed museums in that area.

Only 2 Weeks until I GTFO of here for awhile.

I'm not sure where your travel itinerary will be taking you, but if you end up near the Carlsbad Caverns, and don't mind the hike. That would be worth seeing...

SRT4Quagmire · 04-29-2008, 07:25 AM

cool Ill keep that in mind.

Are you going to go to Yellow stone considering you're in that part of the country anyway? If you do snag some cool pictures of El Capitan.
