2649 miles-- averaged 18MPG and had a blast-- no serious off roading this trip. Sure found a ton of places to spend more time. Here is a favorite shot of my JK in Monument Valley. Link contains more pics from the trip.

Very Cool. Ive done the same but 21 days with jeep in tow behind motorhome. Did some exploring with jeep each day.

I don't think I could do it all in the jeep. those stock seat are not too forgiving on my back.

Would love to see more of the pics from this trip and the different parks. Trying to get started on visiting as many different parks out there as I can. Have a few under my belt already but there are always more to be had..

NP annual pass is the only way to go. No GRISWOLD here-- hiked in all the parks -- Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde, Bryce and Zion. Really helped to plan future trips too-- now I know where I want to spend more time and how many days when we get back there. Thanks for the comments on the pics-- it was an awesome trip!

Lets see you were at Canyonlands and you did not run any trails, you were at Moab my favorite place for Jeeps.

I have done all those parks with my daughter when she was little. Lots of camping, lots of driving, lots of fun.

Planning a two day on the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands on the next trip. Have Hell's Revenge on the agenda too! Planning on a week long run, hopefully next year, to Bryce and Zion by themselves.

Zion is just an amazing place. We go back at least 1x per year. Great place to take pictures.
