My friend Alex is an outdoor travel designer. As a hobby, that is, but I think he could definitely start charging for his services. I’ve been on his amazing trips before, including a four-day backpacking trip through Rocky Mountain National Park and and a “spring break” trip to Utah and its southern national parks.
Spring Break 2014: Hiking the National Parks of Southern Utah
Zion. Bryce. Canyonlands. These places have been a whisper in my ear since I moved back to the United States two years ago and realized how much of my own country I have yet to see. In one week, I’ll be visiting these bucket-list destinations in Southern Utah on an epic camping and hiking trip with my good friends Samira and Alex.
Every trip is actually three: the one we anticipate, the one we take, and the one we remember. Today I’m on that first trip. I’m all abuzz with excitement as I Google pieces of the itinerary (carefully hand-crafted by the amazing Alex) and find out a little more about the places we’ll be exploring.
