Since they started in Santa Monica (west), Las Vegas is north and east. good thing they didn't get lost on the trip. Good report, though.

You completely missed a fantastic place near Amarillo--Palo Duro Canyon State Park. It's really something to see. (The only reason it's not a national park is due to Texas politics, interestingly. It recently also added thousands of acres.)

LOOK'S LIKE A NICE WELLROUNDED GOOD TRIP !!!

Sounds like you both had an awesome time, I've been to Utah and its the most beautiful state I have ever seen. Twenty days for a trip is awesome. Must have cost a fortune.
