Hi Kornmaiden,
Thanks for your tips. Your trip looks great and we'd love to see some of the places you are going to - unfortunately time doesn't permit (and travelling with 2 teenage boys means there is only so much scenery they can handle without mixing it with an adreneline rush). I look forward to reading about your trip.

Also should have mentioned that we stayed at Ruby's Inn in Bryce Canyon it was very nice but try some of the local places for dinner. Ruby's food is just OK. Ask for recommendations from the locals, we ate at a place whose name I can't remember not far from Ruby's that had delicious home made pie. We also took a helicopter ride over the canyon that was thrilling.
