Utah
There is no place that looks quite like Utah. You know this before you arrive. You're still not prepared.
We've driven its highways in winter, when the national parks empty out and the red rock wears a dusting of snow. We've stood under arches that shouldn't exist, walked among sandstone figures that look like they're breathing, and hiked trails where the only footprints ahead of us were our own.
Utah rewards the people who show up in the off-season, who take the unmarked trail, who stay until the light changes. It has a way of making you feel very small and very lucky at the same time.
This is our collection of Utah — the canyons, the silence, and everything in between.

We rented an RV, pointed it toward Utah and Arizona, and let our schipperke decide which rocks were worth climbing. Spoiler: all of them. A New Year's road trip through the Valley of Fire, Zion, Goblin Valley, Arches, and beyond.
