Did We Complete Our 2022 Hiking Goal?
Teddy and I reflect on our hiking goal we made together for 2022 and our progress.
Bucket List Hikes (Southwest)
While 12 days is a decent amount of time for a trip, we covered about 3000 miles so we weren’t able to get to all the hiking we would have liked. There were some hikes we cut due to time or others we didn’t even know about prior to getting to the locations. Because we loved our time in the Southwest and plan to visit again, we started to list our must do hikes for our next adventure through these beautiful states which you can find below.
Southwest Road Trip (Where We Would Have Spent More Time + Places To Visit Next Trip)

Our Southwest Road Trip Itinerary (12 Days)
We spent time in 5 states including Nevada, California, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. We visited 9 National Parks, 3 State Parks, as well as National Forests, Monuments, Preserves and Tribal Parks.
Two Days in Zion National Park (Red Rocks, Emerald Pools, and Delicious Breakfast Sandwiches)
Teddy and I both recently made a ranked list of all of the National Parks we’ve visited (21 for him and 38 for me). Zion is in both of our top 5 parks we’ve ever been to.
Tips for Visiting Bryce Canyon in 1 Day (An Epic Sunrise, Hoodoos, and Hiking)
We both loved the Navajo to Queens Garden Loop more than any other hike we did on our entire 12 day trip.
Capitol Reef National Park in A Day (Scenic Drives, Hiking, & History)
I shared earlier that this was a National Park we didn’t really expect much from but just the scenic drive itself was so impressive we know we will be back.
