UTAH & COLORADO Road Trip | Goosenecks State Park, Mexican Hat, & Goulding's Lodge

We're back on the road & taking you along for the ride! Join us for behind the scene looks into what goes into a week-long road trip through Utah & beyond! We take a few stops at Goosenecks State Park, Mexican Hat, Forrest Gump Hill & more.


It's a road trip! We're spending one week across Utah and Western Colorado visiting some amazing places and having all sorts of adventures.

To kick things off we're starting at the Utah and Arizona state lines. The views of nearby Monument Valley are stunning, breathtaking, and every possible adjective one can imagine.

From there, we head north to visit Goosenecks State Park where the San Juan River meanders back and forth creating a striking canyon landscape in the desert. We take a peek at some of the campsites before turning back south and getting an up-close look at Mexican Hat. How that rock sits balanced up there is beyond our imagination but we were truly stunned!

After our afternoon adventure, we headed to our lodging for the night but first made a quick stop at Forrest Gump Hill. The classic and famous view did not disappoint.

Tired and hungry, we checked into Goulding's Lodge where we made friends with a cat, checked out the sunset over Monument Valley, and filled our bellies before getting some rest for the next day.
