Room for 2? I plan to be in Utah sometime this year. Monument Valley and most of those places are on my bucket list. The Grand Canyon Ive covered pretty well. Suggest the plane ride through the canyon. Also the walk down is well worth it.

I'm heading out for 2wks though the US Southwest in Sept. Looking forward to seeing your pics when you get back Tyler. I don't think we're seeing as many areas as you are that's for sure. How long are you going for?

Not much in Iowa, but the capitol building in Des Moines is really cool inside, if you're passing through there. John Wayne's birth house is there. That's about it. ha
Colorado has Garden Of The Gods overlooking Pikes Peak.
At Grand Canyon, get up really early to see the sunrise.

West Rim have no railing. Make jumping down easy. I was there in late January, I enjoyed it.
