The kids were out of school so we decided to take a trip. This was more of a destination type trip vs the few exploration type trips I have taken into the area recently. Since the s were going, we couldn't rough it as much. Also I wanted to mix it up a bit with some hiking.
We decided to visit two areas, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument and North Rim Grand Canyon.
I have skirted VCNM a few times now during my trips to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument but never really had an interest in visiting. Since this was a (relatively) small area with some great features we figured it would be worth going. Another area was the North Rim. We had never been and have been wanting to see it for some time.
On our way to VCNM we stopped at Horseshoe Bend, then Page to get supplies, then up through Big Water to House Rock Valley Road down to Stateline campgound where we ended up staying two nights.
