Utah - The Dog Is Driving

Visiting Hovenweep National Monument with Dogs

After a long winter, it was finally time for our first van trip of the season! After weighing our options, we decided that based on weather, it was best to cross Hovenweep National Monument off the list! Living in the Four Corners region, we have been lucky to see so

Day Trips

Utah Dog Adventures

When people think of RVing in Utah they tend to think of the "Mighty Five" National Parks: Arches, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Zion. Having been to most of them, we can attest they are phenomenal, but like most National Parks, they're not the friendliest when it comes to

Red Canyon, Utah: Your Dog-Friendly Alternative to Bryce Canyon National Park

We love Bryce Canyon National Park. Unfortunately for our four-legged friends, they only allow dogs on the paved trail between Sunset Point and Sunrise Point, and on the paved Shared Use Path between the park entrance and Inspiration Point. Sunset to Sunrise is 1.2 miles roundtrip. It's good for

Campsite review: Goosenecks State Park

Goosenecks State Park is $10/night dry camping with amazing scenery. The last few miles of the road there are narrow and winding, but it's paved all the way to the park. Inside the park, there is a more maintained day use area, and to the left camping along a

RV park review: Red Ledge RV Park & Campground

How much did we like staying here? We extended our stay twice! For a grand total of 15 nights. Let Me Tell You Why... With our Passport America discount, we paid the full price of $30+tax for the first night, then half price at $15 for the next 6

Hike: Pa'rus Trail (Zion National Park)

As we planned our first visit to Zion National Park, we learned it was one of the more restrictive National Parks when it comes to dog visitors. Dogs are only allowed on one pathway, the Pa'rus Trail which is about 3.5 miles round trip and a popular trail for
