In early June 2024 we found two places in Utah that reminded us so much of our time in Switzerland. Those places were Sundance Resort and Lake Blanche.

We spent Memorial Day weekend exploring Capitol Reef National Park and Goblin Valley State Park. Both of these are a little out of the way in southeast Utah but are well worth visiting!

Easily one of our favorite hikes in the U.S. Druid Arch is an absolute gem of a trail in the desert. You need to find your way to The Needles in Canyonlands National Park and experience this hike for yourself!

Moab is a really cool town in between the desert and mountains. With plenty of hiking and outdoor adventures, there's plenty to keep you busy. Throw in two amazing National Parks nearby and this area is easily one of our favorites in the U.S.

Devil’s Garden is the most popular hike in Arches National Park. This is likely because it offers the most arches, varying terrain, spectacular viewpoints, and is long enough for a day hike.

This was one of the better hikes we’ve done. It’s challenging, lightly-trafficked, and has incredible views throughout. For those of you who want to escape the crowds to experience Zion and don’t mind a challenging hike, this is the way to do it!
