I used to have to go to Las Vegas twice a year for work and I fell in love with Utah because that was my reward for going to Vegas! Angel's Landing is my favorite hike in Zion. We stayed at the Cliffrose Lodge and thought that was pretty nice and very reasonable. <br />I haven't spent much time in the Colorado parks..more in Utah, CA and MT..but love crosscountry skiing in Winter Park, and driving from Denver to Grand Junction to Moab. Got any CO tips for us, Beth?Rosemary Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033747422699443024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-91744725194745843722010-02-11T14:04:58.442-05:002010-02-11T14:04:58.442-05:00I enjoyed your post, Rosemary.

I've written in bars and planes and hotels (and on a beach last week). But more often you'd find me typing away at the kitchen counter while something bubbles on the stove, or, in the summer, laying in the hammock or sitting in the adirondack chair in the middle of my kitchen garden.<br /><br />Which is not to say I don't have a perfectly nice office to hide away in, too. ; - )Cricket McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786996969148417569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-88222431203752897052010-02-11T12:31:32.746-05:002010-02-11T12:31:32.746-05:00Thanks for the tip, Beth!

I'd love to go back for a longer time and see more of the Virgins. What Colorado parks have you been to, if any? <br /><br />Jess,<br />I went to Zion with my hubby and kids a few years back. We rented high boots and walking sticks for all of us and hiked up the Virgin River in the Narrows as far as we were comfortable going. What gorgeous views! If you go during dry season, you can get pretty far up the canyon, but it can be dangerous during the rainy season.Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-75657812812892259092010-02-11T11:16:03.271-05:002010-02-11T11:16:03.271-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jessica Loureyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157662092822156124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-32032550177202210062010-02-11T11:16:02.383-05:002010-02-11T11:16:02.383-05:00You are clearly a fascinating woman, Rosemary, and...You are clearly a fascinating woman, Rosemary, and I look forward to checking out your books.
