USA 2019: Postscript.

 A few people have asked me about our itinerary so I thought I'd add it as a postscript to the series of posts I've made on our trip. It will also act as an aide memoire for when, in our dotage, we look back at this holiday and try and remember what we did!

This is the route we took - starting and ending in Las Vegas and going clockwise. It was approximately 2500 miles. The open circles show where we stayed. In some guides, the route is described as the Grand Circle but it usually includes the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. As we'd already been there, we took in the North Rim instead. Perhaps our version was the Almost Grand Circle?

We flew into and out of Las Vegas, using it only as a staging post for the airport. We did not venture into the city at all and only glimpsed the hotel district from afar. That was enough for us.

The places we stayed at met our needs. Nothing luxurious but we did not have anything to complain about. Here they are:

• La Quinta Inn & Suites, Las Vegas Airport South (Good free airport and car hire centre shuttle service).
• The Historic Stanworth House, Hurricane (Air BnB - B but no B).
• Cottonwood Meadow Lodge near Panguitch (We stayed in the Log Cabin. Cosy!).
• Broken Spur Inn and Steakhouse, Torrey.
• Days Inn by Wyndham, Moab.
• Hat Rock Inn, Mexican Hat.
• Red Rock Motel, Page.
• Brookside B & B (Air BnB - B but not B).
• La Quinta Inn & Suites, Las Vegas Airport South - again.

When we came to listing the places we either visited, looked at, walked in or drove through, I think we were surprised at how many there were. They included State Parks (SP), National Parks (NP), National Monuments (NM), Tribal Reservations (TR) and National Forests (NF). Quite a mix but all unique and interesting in their own way.

• Kolob Canyon (NP).
• Cedar Breaks (NM).
• Red Canyon (SP).
• Bryce (NP).
• Zion (NP).
• Kodachrome Basin (SP).
• Dixie (NF).
• Capitol Reef (NP).
• Goblin Valley (SP).
• Canyonlands (NP).
• Arches (NP).
• Dead Horse Point (SP).
• Hovenweep (NM).
• Monument Valley (TR).
• Antelope Canyon (TR).
• Rainbow Arch (NM).
• Horseshoe Bend (TR).
• Vermillion Cliffs (NM).
• Kaibab (NF).
• Grand Canyon North Rim (NP). 
• Pipe Spring (NM/TR). 

All that remains now is the compile all my posts into a book as a record of a great three weeks.
