I am planning to a trip to Utah this spring. Coming from Minnesota, driving Interstate 70 to the Utah border, turning left and wandering around the southern part of the state. Being retired I can adjust my schedule, so:
Is April a good time to go? Earlier? Later?
When does it get busy (when do the tourists arive)?
My usual pattern is to dry camp on FS or BLM land and hit the National Parks and Monuments during the day. I usually spend most of my time out of the NP's because I travel and hike with a dog.
Any information is greatly appreciated:
Where to go.
What/where to avoid.
Any tips on camping and hiking in the desert with a dog (new experience for both of us).
Thanks, jim
