Utah National Parks

Iā€™m considering a trip to Utah either between Christmas and New Years or early January. Would appreciate any info regarding access to the parks, suggestions from personal experience on favorite locations, etc. I will be driving 4WD vehicle.


I have never been in the winter, but the park I found had by far the fewest people was Canyonlands. Beautiful scenery and few people. If you really want to put that 4WD to a test, look at the White Rim Road. Again, not sure about winter weather or attendance.

Monopod & Head recommendation

I use a Nikon D750 with a 24-70 and a 70-200 and i would like to get your recommendations on a monopod and head.


I had this one

and really liked it. It tilts in all directions making a tilt head all you need to maintain horizon.

Slot Canyons in the Utah SW Grand Circle of National Parks

Some things to be aware of:

That area is so amazing that planning anything in a timeline is not going to survive the first stop. Photo ops are literally everywhere.

The crown situation depends on where you happen to be and varies greatly . The interesting thing to note is that the crowds are mostly unwilling to walk any great distances so if you hike out a bit you will discover wilderness without huge crowds.

Some safety considerations :

First and foremost, do not wander far off the marked trails without proper gear like a GPS, compass and maybe a topo map. It is very easy in many locations to get disoriented and totally lost unless you are paying close attention to navigation.

Second: you are in high dessert plateaus or canyons. Take lots of water if hiking. Invest in some Camelback or equivalent hydration packs if you intend to walk anywhere. Take more water than you think you will need. Dehydration is rapid and not noticed because of low humidity there. That can turn a nice day hike into a deadly situation quickly.

Cellphones will not have a signal in many areas there. Never rely on them for emergency calling in the wilderness areas . Satellite phones or emergency rescue beacons are the only reliable possibility of rescue.

Slot canyons have a unique danger most hikers are unaware of: thunderstorms in the area can cause instant flash floods that have killed hikers caught in the canyons without a way to get clear quickly. The storms may not be close to the hiking areas and the first warning is the wall of water rushing at you with frightening speed . Pay close attention to area weather forecasts anytime you plan on hiking into a slot canyon. If any doubt, stay out.

Finally : if you meet the age requirement (65) purchase one of the national park lifetime passes. Since you will be touring multiple national parks in the area you will save a bunch of money on admissions.

Have a great trip and stay safe out there šŸ‘Œ

Great stuff, just one small correction 62 years old gets the lifetime pass.

Looks like a great set to donate to the local high school.


Couple things, a lot of money to donate. And I am a high school teacher, I really don't think that I have met a student that would appreciate the quality of this set. Most have not yet developed that level of understanding of gear yet. Bruce
