Canyon Spring |

Travel time again for the Lant family. We needed to get out of town for spring break and have a small adventure. We recently headed south to warmer climates and relived an experience we had back in June of 2004, visiting Las Vegas, Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and the Grand Canyon. In six years since we'd been there a few things had change, while some remained the same. We flew into Vegas, rented a car, spent the night, and then got on the road the next day. Our loop through the canyons covered about a thousand miles over six days before returning to Las Vegas and flying home. Here are a few photos from our 2010 spring break road trip.
