Utah

We went on a road-trip out west during June and July 2019. Utah was our fourteenth stop, and we visited Park City and Salt Lake City. Here is a video of some of our time there.

We quickly visited Utah during a February 2017 road-trip, which included the four-corner states, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah as well as Nevada.

This next video shows some of our drive through Arches National Park accompanied by some tunes from Maverick City.
