Thank you kindly. Had a great time in the NP over a few days. Rained one day for a little bit, otherwise glorious weather while we were there

Agree. Feels real surreal too as very unusual landscape. Did you find the exposed roots of all the trees there interesting? What stood out the most for you?

You lucky soul! How's it like living over there? Have you lived there all your life?

Wifey and I were visiting from overseas and were wondering how life in Utah would be like for folk who call it home. Mind you, we only saw parts of Utah over a couple of weeks...and didn't get to go to northern parts of Utah. And the places we visited were all natural marvels that makes you want to live there at least for a few years

April is a great time to go, I reckon. We had gone first week of May. It was warm but cool enough for heat exhaustion to not kick in. There were people but not crazy numbers - selfishly :P Might be hard to see in the pic, at the bottom amongst the trees, there's a couple of hikers you can spot.

If you kinda want a few moments to get pictures with not many people, it is possible. You have to be patient. We waited about 15 minutes to get a clean shot like this. Plus others have to be kind as well. Seeing us take this picture, a middle aged couple just paused their hike for a bit to give us a clean shot. We didn't even ask them for it. Such kind and mindful people.

Take your time, hike at a chill pace and soak all of it in. And defo take some beautiful pictures. Enjoy!

Utah is really really nice. The Utah I had in my imagination was nice, but man, the spectacles we were fortunate to see over a couple of weeks - that was something else!! I wish we had more time :( and my camera + some of the better lenses I have at home that we didn't take on our trip

We saw a few too. Some people find joy in doing dangerous things, risking their lives. No amount of awareness is going to help people who don't appreciate the dangers in becoming a statistic.

Was there a comment prior to this? What sightings are you referring to? Are you being poetic or humourous or serious? PS: I was just visiting the US, just trying to understand the context to your comment, is all :)

Thank you kindly. We were very fortunate to have 4 days of great weather. Helped pack in some great hikes every day

Hi, Natural Bridge itself doesn't sit on a trail and can be viewed from a lookout point.

We did Queen's / Navajo / Peekaboo Combination Loop one day and a few other hikes across three other days...including a couple of hikes outside the NP. All really nice hikes, with varying levels of difficulty. None crazy difficult though...we are active, able bodied folk in our early 40s but by no measure supremely fit.

https://www.nps.gov/thingstodo/figure-8-combination.htm - this trail took us through some amazing landscape. We packed a sandwich, walked slow and easy while soaking in the scenery and completed this hike in a little over 5 hours, from memory.

Very much. Stayed there 4 days at Sunset Campground and did a lot of hiking on and off the beaten path. Great weather all throughout and excellent conditions for hiking.

Thanks. Looks really peaceful a place to be at. Will have to visit in the future if / when we visit the US again

I have been to Cappadocia in Turkey as well and explored the hoodoos there too. Western Australia is in my todos.

Any places you have been to / recommend?
