At the self check-in machine of Frontier airlines, I was a bit surprised to see a $50 cost for my carry on luggage. Checking in that small suitcase would cost me $25!

Incredible photos!
This is one of my favorite parts of the country, and you've well captured its beauty. What great adventures, too, visiting so many places with fine hikes and the craziness of Vegas--great blog!

Thanks Tara. Yes, the red rock country of the southwest is my favorite too. From goblins to hoodoos - from cliffs to canyons, natural attractions abound in southern Utah.

Thanks David. There is plenty to see and experience in this area. From well known National and State parks to the badlands accessible only on a 4WD. From seeing some documentaries, I can say that winter does have its own charm in some national parks.

Utah canyons
Fabulous photography! You've done an excellent job capturing the colors and texture of the canyons. Makes me want to book a trip. You've seen the ying and yang of it by going to Vegas.

Utah's Finest
Wow! What an amazing trip. There is truly much to see in Utah and nearby areas. I am from California, but I am currently living in Utah and have been for a few years now (on and off). The places to see here are just stunning! I actually work on a travel magazine that is based out of Utah and, although most of our articles are not about Utah itself, there are some wonderful articles written about how to have other fun trips like yours. Thanks so much for sharing! Lauren www.stowawaymag.com
