We're tossing around two trip choices for this June:
1st: fly to, and stay in, Rapid City, SD. From there, visit the Badlands, Walls Drug, Deadwood, Custer State Park (love the Needles Highway), Devils Tower, Mt Rushmore, back to the Badlands (love the Badlands). We visited all these places (except Devils Tower) a few years ago. Great trip.
2nd: fly to Las Vegas and drive to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon Nat. Park, Arches Nat Park, etc. I lived in SLC way back, and have skied Utah many times, but never went to southern Utah.
#1 is my first choice even though I've visited those places. Less driving, some of the best scenery in the country.
I think Da Wife favors #2 because we haven't done it yet.
Any opinions?
