I'm very sorry to hear that marg. I wish you the best.
FWIW I'd take Australia over Utah in a NY minute
Thank you sundowner.
Lee Ann - yeah, from what I understand October is THE time to go. We're considering a return visit in the dead of winter.

Sorry, it was early November! We were supposed to go in early December but had to reverse the order of our trip at the last minute. It was dry, sunny and 50's/60's during the day, perfect hiking weather. We got a "you must be from Colorado" when we chose to sit outside to eat (we're from CA but the damp, foggy part).

Don't want to deter you as we still had a great time, but following are pictures from my trip December 7th & 8th 2013. Arches was actually closed on the 8th so went up to Dead Horse Point:

Next two trips we went in early May - fantastic but much busier. I believe our December weather was unusual.

MeInq8 -
Enjoyed the TR! You helped me so much on our New Zealand trip last year. We are in Taos, finishing up a month long Southwest trip. Left May 12th, hit Sedona, Flagstaff, Page, Monument Valley, Mesa Verde ( hit Hovenweep on the way), Durango, Ouray, Pagosa Springs, Taos and we are stopping in Pinetop, AZ and Lake Havasu before home to LA. We had never been to any of the places before, what beautiful country. Glad you guys had a good time.

Tdiddy - for the best explanation, take a look at the FAQ section at the top of this page.
The fast and dirty explanation - when typing in the reply box, you'll see a photo icon in the top banner, you just click on that icon and follow the prompts from there.
I'm looking at the icon right now as I type this, but I don't know how to post a screen capture of it.
