- The western U.S. is beautiful. We drove from Las Vegas, through the north western corner of Arizona, and 4 hours into Utah. Utah is stunning, and I hope you all get a chance to go there sometime.
- I was surprised to find that the highway speed limit was 75 and the 2-lane was 65 in places. In Michigan, all 2-lanes are 55 and the highway is capped at 70.
- We rented a Nissan Versa (not by choice). It ended up being a decent car that averaged 35 MPG (I coasted down a lot of mountains).
- Las Vegas took me for $40. No big deal, but it took all of 10 minutes of playing nickel slots to loose all we were willing to loose. After hiking Zion and Bryce for 6 days, it was very strange to be in the city. Cesar's Palace (and all of the Strip) is an amazing place, but I don't care if I ever go back there again.
- I'd go back to Zion and Bryce again in a heartbeat.
