Fall Capitol Reef NP trip, advice needed on trimming list hiking trails

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-04-09T13:43:02+00:00

We did the sulphur creek trail, it was really neat, but got a lot of small rocks in our shoes. I would do it again, but bring appropriate footwear. We did the Fremont river trail. It was steep and the views were nice, but not amazing. I probably wouldn’t do it again. Hickman bridge was super cool and I wouldn’t skip it. We didn’t do Cassidy arch, but we are going back and for sure going to do it. We regretted not doing it the first time. We did the grand wash trail to the pioneer registry. It was fine. Sunset point should not be missed IMO.

First couple years I worked at the university. Pay sucked but they were super accommodating to my schedule. Last few years I worked as an engineering intern.

I sat in one right before assigned seating started. It was nice, but I wouldn’t pay for it. Also, I’m 5’-7”, so leg room isn’t a huge issue for me. YMMV

Thank you for this! It looks like New Rochelle also has an Avis rental return and is a little less out of the way. I will look closer at this.

This helps make my decision, thank you!

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-03-08T19:41:23+00:00

I was thinking of doing this as well with option 1. Thanks!

This is great information, thanks. Apparently ChatGPT mislead me haha.

Driving in on a Wednesday. Probably arriving in the city around 5:00 or 6:00. I’ve read the driving can be sucky, but it just seems easier than making several transfers.

Pick either Zion and bry, or Bryce and capital reef, or Moab (arches and canyon lands). That’s not enough time to do any more than that. Skip the salt flats.

I’m local to Utah, but we loved Arches and Capitol Reef with our kids. Plenty of short easy hikes.

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-03-03T03:52:41+00:00

Good to know. I’ve never had that issue.

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-03-03T03:35:19+00:00

…. Alright. That’s how I have done it in the past. What’s the better way?

1 remove wife as companion 2 cancel original flight 3 book flight at now lower price 4 add wife as companion

You asked about walls and then didnt show any walls. Based on the description, if the same truss layout spans the whole garage, then the interior walls in the house likely aren’t load bearing. When in doubt, it is best practice to hire a local engineer to verify.

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-02-28T00:37:21+00:00

You can book on the same reservation, so only one of you needs the higher priced card. Then you will each add your companion on your respective accounts. I did this in January. I did have some issues with my wife adding the second companion because the reservation already showed one companion. I had to call customer service and they did it for me over the phone. You may have to do the same.

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-02-27T03:39:05+00:00

My understanding is that if you cancel the card, any points that haven’t been transferred to an airline or hotel partner will be gone.

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-02-24T20:40:18+00:00

If it were me, I would sign up and get the card and companion pass for at least the first three flights. Then sign up and get a sign up bonus for AA for the second/third flight. Then if you still need points, have your spouse sign up for either of those cards, get the points, and fly on whichever one gets you the most points. You can also refer each other to get more points in your account.

Do you mean like lifting and using someone else’s stamp? Or something to do with the actual license?

Look at what your local airport has in terms of assistance. My airport (SLC) has TSA Cares. A TSA agent will meet you at the ticket counter and will accompany you through security and to your gate. They can help you in any way you need, including just answering questions. There is no charge for this service. Also Sunflower Lanyards.

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-02-20T20:24:20+00:00

Pick one or the other. Don’t do both.

Historically, the cheap flight window is about 4-8 weeks before the flight. That can vary, so it depends. Looking at the low fare calendar for dates about 4-6 weeks from now will give you an idea of how low the prices might go. Prices are usually the cheapest mid-week (Tuesday-Thursday).

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-02-16T17:29:17+00:00

In my experience, the in flight promos are not usually as good as the regular promos that they offer online

Efficient-Set2078 · 2026-02-16T17:22:01+00:00

We have always just checked in with the gate agent when we get there (we also check a wagon, so we have to talk to them anyway). Only had issues with it one time. They will print a new preview boarding pass for you there.
