You know it's bad when....

The ski hill is open & we head to the desert instead! We took advantage of a quick overnight down to southern Utah to Goblin Valley State Park & Capitol Reef National Park. We had fantastic clear blue skies & sunshine, however a little to cool & dark for camping we decided. Check it out:

Valley of the Goblins

Deserted except for these 2



Looking into the valley

The air here is some of the cleanest in the country with 150 mile visibility

Action shot: our new favorite thanks to Rina

Views from the Navajo Knobs....Jeremy's 10 mile hike


The Castle rock formation


Ancient petroglyphs, over 1,000 years old


The Castle & the Knobs far away (highest pt. left of my head)

Fun to get away! Now it's back to work....have a good one y'all!

PRAY FOR SNOW!!!
