Overview: |
|
An
underrated, hidden gem of Southern Utah. The national
park receives a fraction of the tourist traffic
of Zion, Bryce, and Moab, and even less canyoneering
attention. The splendid, untrammeled wilderness
here is punctuated by many great non-canyoneering
diversions and restraunts. The seeds of a groovy
community were sewn years ago by ex urbanite desert
rats like Southey Sweede and the Entrada Institute.
At the end of a long day in the canyons, head into
Torrey for some fine dining and socializing with
visiting Europeans. |
