    • Driving from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas

      Salt Lake City Jun 5, 2013 at 8:27 AM

      I need to travel from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. I will rent a car of Compact Ford Focus for this trip. I plan the trip by Google Map and it shows that I need to drive for 447 ml with 6 hour 30 mins for the whole trip. I want to take two or three times of break during this long distance driving. Can you tell me where should I take the break and refuel with gas ? Thank you

    • Getting around Southern Utah's parks carless

      Utah Jun 6, 2013 at 12:43 PM

      So I'm planning a trip out to southern Utah to check out the parks and the ones on my target list are: Zion, Cedar Breaks, Grand Staircase, and Bryce.

      I'll be flying into Vegas and taking a bus either to St George or Cedar City to begin with. I have 4 or 5 days and have to end my trip in Cedar City.

      Now I just need to figure out if it's possible to pull this off without a car. I know I could manage Zion and Cedar Breaks on a rented bike since I could bike out there from their closest cities (St George and Cedar City respectively, I believe), but I don't know if it's possible to get the other ones. Even better, however, is if there existed buses or shuttles in between the parks. I know a lot of them have shuttles within them, but I want to know if they go between.

      Not sure if I want to try my hand at hitchhiking, since I'm a sole female traveler, but I'd be open to it if it's legal and safe...Maybe getting rides from others camping nearby could be an option but then it would be hard to stick to my desired schedule.

      I'm open to all suggestions except renting a car or taking an expensive tour, I have a very limited budget and am generally not a fan of tours.

      Thanks!

    • Itinerary for Utah's five national parks

      Utah May 27, 2013 at 6:54 PM

      My family is considering taking a long road trip, spending some of the time in Utah. I'd like to visit all five national parks, but we might not have a lot of time. So I'm wondering, what's the fastest that you can go through all the parks without feeling terribly rushed? We wouldn't be doing any super long hikes or anything (probably 2 mi. round trip in most instances). And with whatever amount of days that you suggest, which parks would you visit each day and where would you stay?

      Also, I know there are several national monuments, Glen Canyon NRA, and Monument Valley as well, so if any of those are can't miss, let me know. Or if one of the national parks could be skipped to give more time to other stuff, let me know as well.

      Alta, Utah lodging.

      Hey, everyone! We're a group of 3 guys intermediate skiers looking to ski Alta March 9-16, 2013. Any advice on where to stay. Some nightlife, bars, restaurants, steam room, sauna, outdoor pool, jacuzzi, gym would be nice. We'd like to stay as close to Alta/Snowbird as possible but a little travel is no problem. Planning to rent a car. Private house/apartment or lodge, reasonably priced. Love Park City, but think it is a bit long commute. Any input is greatly appreciated. Can't wait till winter.

    • Visiting Alta in March 2012, need tips

      by danijels Online Now May 13, 2011 at 12:56 AM

      Hi guys We are a group of four skiers from Norway wanting to visit SLC area, predominantly Alta, but possibly also (or instead) Snowbird and other areas we might get a good feeling for prior to arrangements being made. At this point we need some feedback based on the following facts: - we are 4 skiers - as much off-piste / back country, no need for much groomed. - level: intermediate + The things we would like input on are: - Based on the list above, what is in general the best choice, Alta, Snowbird or something else? Can't be too far away from SLC though. - We can probably do 10 days somewhere between mid Feb to end of March. Any tips on what would be best condition-wise, or is it the same? - What would be a good option for accomodation for 4, any private lodging sites? - As it is close to SLC, would it be worth it staying in the city motel or something and drive up in a rental? I'm sure I'll come up with more stuff, but that should do it for now. Thanks guys
