Well in less than a week's time, we have officially gotten settled into our new home in Phoenix. The drive from Minneapolis was so much fun! Over 27 hours in the car - sounds weird right? But it was super enjoyable! I thought I'd share some of the highlights with you in case you plan to make this drive or if you have one of these destinations on your travel list!
1. North Platte, NE: we stayed at a nice La Quinta lolol ;)
2. Glenwood Springs, CO: Adorable mountain town about one hour past Vail. We stayed at the Hotel Colorado, a historic hotel downtown. It had an adorable little backyard restaurant and bar and it was right across the street from one of the hot spring locations. We walked around town and ate dinner at The Pullman, which I highly recommend! Awesome service and excellent eats. When walking around town, you really feel like you are in a special place with the beauty of the surrounding mountains and the friendly locals.
3. Moab, UT: Seriously - what a cool place. Full of off-road jeeps, bikes, good people, and yummy food. Oh and one of the coolest national parks ever - Arches National Park. I had no idea how large this park was, we only had time to drive through for about 2 hours...but I highly recommend giving yourself at least half of a day so you can get out of the car and hike around a bit! They hand out some info on the formation of the arches and the process is so cool, I won't ruin it for you. Just go and learn for yourself!
4. Page, AZ: AKA the location of Horseshoe bend, a Grand Canyon hot spot! This town is an awesome place for tourists since you can check out the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and Antelope Canyon. It is even more gorgeous than you can imagine. Might be fun to combine Page, AZ, with a trip to Flagstaff or Sedona, both just 2 hours south of Page! We only had time to check out the Grand Canyon, but I definitely want to make the hike back up there to rent a boat on Lake Powell and take the official Antelope Canyon tour!
We are now getting all settled into our new place in Phoenix! Can't wait to share it with you!
