Manti Motel

... they promise that there is about a year's worth of great bouldering routes.<br>Wow! Nathan and his friends not only brought us to an amazing bouldering area that we would never have gone to on our own, but they practically gave us a guided tour, going from area to area with us and pointing out the best routes and ways to go about them, all on delicious sandstone that really sticks to your fingers. As ...

We were went out for our Camfel tour on Monday. We have 2 1/2 days to make it to Illinoise for our first show. Here goes road tripping across the country!<br><br>We have loved it. The first night we stayed in Manti, Utah. Expedia found a shady motel way too far off the route. They were closed when we arrived, but on the office door was ...

... bus kept on stopping at Alhambra and other places before the man behind the wheel asked all of us to get out of the bus for a transfer. ****! Okay? So I had to go to the restroom, but we ended up going to one that really sucked. No toilet paper, the floors were wet, plus the bathroom line was long for BOTH males and females, which indicated that the restroom is only for men AND women. That was great! &gt;_&lt; <br><br>At least the bus we went to was ...

So i went and rode ATV's in the sand dunes of Utah, a place called little sahara, about an hour and a half from salt lake or so, professionals go here, and this was my first time going to go ride in sand... it was crazy!! had a blast though, and i did well for my first time, at least i think so... I edited and made a cool movie out of the video's i took, so enjoy the videos and photos!

... stuck out here for a long time before you were found by a rescue party. But, my cell phone has reception here which is more than I can say at home. I went over a slight rise and spread out in front of me was a huge, wide, flat, sand-colored, smooth as a glass lake, expanse surrounded by mountains. It looks as though there is water in the middle but I'm sure that's a mirage, and that this valley is dry, dry, dry! It's so impressive though -- beautiful ...

... and many of the potential sights through this area are not open or are unaccessible at this time. There were thoughts of visiting Bryce Canyon (over 6000 feet) but we had just turned off the interstate when we spotted flashing lights which indicate that the road ahead has ice and snow cover and large vehicles such as ours should not go further. We visited Bryce last March and ...

On my way to Bryce I drove through the Zion NP, it was even more touching than my destination. The red rocks, the rock window, simply touching. I also bought one piece of Navajo pottery. It is now with me in my living room, reminding me the savage landscape and romantic curving road.

Recently spent the better part of a week in Ephraim/Manti Utah. Nice "little" towns about 120 miles south southeast of Salt Lake City. The Willow Creek Inn was a nice hotel though I had some issues with the wireless on my older laptop. Newer laptops worked just fine. Price was about average. Though they do not allow pets which in the future might be an issue.There are no big chain restaurants outside of McDonald's and Subway so I hope you like ...

... rides. Bicycle rides are also offered along the paved Pa'rus Trail. There are, of course, ranger-led programs that the kids can join, and, as an added bonus to the kids, they also have ...

... From Bryce we continued another three hours towards the Capitol Reef National Park, near our current location. The reef is a gigantic swale of rocks and ridges and gullies. The scale is massive, so large that photographs do not show the full magnitude. But mostly we got rained out-actually, we were rained in. When you think about it, the entire landscape from California through Nevada and now Utah has mostly been rocks. Red rocks ...
