National Parks and Monuments


One thing our family looks forward to every summer is going to National Parks and Monuments, and living in Utah, we are lucky to have so many close by.

Timpanogos Caves National Monument
is literaly 10 minutes from our house. Starting in May, they offer great Ranger programs. Check out the website.

Another quick tip--ZION NATIONAL PARK is open to car traffic in the winter months. Come May though, they close the roads to traffic UNLESS you have a camping reservation OR a reservation at the Cabins or Lodge. Last year, we stayed at the cabin--talk about fun! AND because its a national park, the prices are affordable.

I have been told that homeschoolers can actually get a National Parks Pass for cheaper, although I haven't confirmed this.

Enjoy spring and less traffic by visiting our National Parks in the "off season". :)
