    Default SW Utah with family - Thanksgiving - what should we visit?



    Hey Folks,

    It looks like I'll be driving the jeep, with camping gear, to southwest Utah this thanksgiving. I'll be picking up a niece in Las Vegas. The plan is to camp (temps are a concern) and sight see with the jeep.

    What should we put onto the list?

    We'll probably drive through Zion (both of us have been there)
    We'll likely visit Sand Hollow area trails
    I'd like to see Bryce (new to me, she's been there)

    What else?
