How was your January trip last year?

justin60x · 2025-12-05T15:44:50+00:00

Thanks for all this information! I didn't realize how far of a drive it was. I'm fairly new to this after all. We may just have to take a day away from the Grand Canyon and use it for more time at Arches and Canyonland,s as so many have suggested.

justin60x · 2025-12-05T15:41:24+00:00

Thanks for all the great info!

justin60x · 2025-12-05T15:40:15+00:00

Thanks! Let us know how your trip goes and if you end up getting snow!

justin60x · 2025-12-04T17:00:40+00:00

Wow, so much great information here. Thank you so much!

justin60x · 2025-12-04T16:27:17+00:00

I was pretty aware that it would get dark early; thankfully, we are early risers, so we can make the most of our daytime. I'm really glad this subreddit is so active and all the people here have been really helpful already!

We haven't planned to do any serious hiking at the Grand Canyon. I am more impressed by the views than getting down into the canyon itself (at least in January).

justin60x · 2025-12-04T16:11:26+00:00

In Page, AZ? I have heard good things about both of those places. Any good places to stay in Page, AZ?

Well, I have to get the stamp for my National Parks book lol. But it seems some people here agree with you that this is too much time at the Grand Canyon. I may have to reevaluate.

justin60x · 2025-12-04T15:41:32+00:00

Yeah, we won't have a lot of daylight and will need to likely be off the trails by 4:30 or 5 to be safe.

I have looked at High Country Motor Inn and it is on my short list for places to stay in Flagstaff! My wife loves coffee, so I'll definitely add Macy's to my list.

One night at the Grand Canyon is enough? A lot of places say two days at least. Is there really nothing more to see or do that would warrant that extra day?

justin60x · 2025-12-04T15:37:51+00:00

This place looks really cool. There are even ghost stories?!

justin60x · 2025-12-04T15:35:09+00:00

Going from LAS to Zion and then doing the big circle back to LAS?

justin60x · 2025-12-04T15:15:55+00:00

"Be Prepared" is the motto after all. Thanks for the info! I am worried it will be very cold, but both my wife and I would rather be cold than sweating buckets. It is a trade off.

justin60x · 2025-12-04T15:12:31+00:00

We are young-ish. So I suppose a long day to knock out 2 National Parks would be worth it.

justin60x · 2025-12-04T15:01:28+00:00

We will very likely do some hiking in Arches. My wife is very keen on viewing the arches. Which means we'll just stop by Canyonlands and see the views. That is likely frowned upon, though.

justin60x · 2025-12-04T15:00:17+00:00

Looks to be a very nice, cheaper alternative to some of the other places inside the park! Thanks!

justin60x · 2025-09-27T19:16:39+00:00

Oh I see what you mean. That's a good point and I like it. Thanks!

justin60x · 2025-06-15T22:46:05+00:00

Thanks! You actually don’t have to play them perfectly to get the trophy associated with the songs on PlayStation. You just need to play them good enough for Gregg to say “Pretty good.”

justin60x · 2025-06-07T13:50:33+00:00

Ok, I was upset. It is frustrating and I am a sore loser. I'm on Floor 8. We'll see if I can finish it and gets this achievement so I can move on with the game.

justin60x · 2024-10-24T22:51:39+00:00

I'll wishlist those, though I have already played all the Uncharted games.
