I leave today on a 3,500 mile road trip through Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Arizona, including several days at the Mariners’ Spring Training. I have always dreamed of this kind of extended trip, but the only times I’ve done something remotely approaching it was 25 years ago when we went to pick up Jason in Illinois at the end of his freshman year, and a trip with my uncle to Yellowstone, probably 20 years ago or so.
This trip will include a few days with my cousin Bill and his wife Sue in Phoenix for Spring Training and stops at the scenic national parks in Utah and northern Arizona. My long-time friend Roger is going with me to Phoenix, but he’ll be flying back, and Bill will join me for at least part of the northbound trip.
You can’t really tell all the stops along the way, but I will be reporting and posting photos of our stops.
Looks like a blast! Can you give us a list of what the numbers represent? Sedona is a great take if you happen to be close by. Can not recommend the petrified forest tho.
Are you renting a vehicle or taking yours?
Taking my car. The numbers are there to show the route, but were tentative at the time I took that screen shot. So far (as of 3/30) we went to Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, Zion, the Grand Canyon, through Flagstaff and to Phoenix. The return trip plan is Sedona, Flagstaff, Kenab, Bryce, Moab, then back through the Salt Lake City area, Twin Falls, Baker City, Walla Walla, Yakima and home.
