Our family loves road tripping!
About five years ago my book club friends asked me to make a list of road trips we've gone on so they could have some ideas of places to go. After our trip to Glenwood Springs a few weeks ago, I'm finally getting around to it!
Here are some of the places our family has driven to over the years. I've included approximate travel times from the Salt Lake area. Follow the links to my various posts if you want to learn more about what we did on each trip. I hope you get on the road sometime soon - if your heart so desires!
