It’s the first hike of the 2023 season, and after spending a wet and muddy NYE in Zion National Park, I’m making my way back home to California. After a huge winter storm, the sun finally appeared for the first time in 2 days! I wanted to get in one last adventure before making the 7-hour drive back home, and caught myself wandering around Washington, Utah just outside of the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve.
It’s the last day of 2022. I am in Zion National Park on a solo road trip ringing in yet another new year in the beautiful state of Utah.

As silly as it may sound, I did in fact drive over 500 miles to see the Saguaros in Tucson, Arizona. Springtime in the desert is the best time to explore, and even though temperatures stayed just below 100°, this Cali girl remains grateful for all of the amenities that come with the Cabana Van.
It’s been a dream of mine to explore Idaho. I met up with a friend and after picking up our home on wheels at Wandervans, our hot spring journey began.
