I’ve heard of narrow slot canyons in Utah. I’ve even hiked through The Narrows in Zion National Park, Little Wild Horse Canyon, and Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona. But none of those places compare to what my kids and I experienced at Zebra Slot Canyon. We’d tried to hike the canyon several summers ago, but…
Utah has some of the most unique landscapes. Red rock arches, meadows full of wildflowers, rocky mountain peaks and more. But Goblin Valley State Park is almost from another world.

It wasn’t until this year that I thought a guided snowmobile tour would be worth checking out. After spending two hours riding 20 miles on a snowmobile with Park City Peaks Snowmobiling, I knew…
Custer State Park is a staple for people traveling to South Dakota. The Black Hills provide an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors with hiking, swimming, kayaking, fishing and much more.
