I had the opportunity to travel to my favorite spot in Utah during early February...the town of Escalante and the surrounding Staircase. I stayed at a top-notch glamping site called Escalante Grande Resort, and I sampled some local Mexican food at Chihuahua Garcia Mexican Grill. Both establishments were well worth it...friendly, good quality, and generally gave you a taste of the local experience...plus colorful sunsets and deer-filled morning sunrises. The primary goal of my visit was to have an adventure in the local canyons and surrounding mesas. That goal was achieved. Just a generally relaxing, rejuvenating, wild Utah experience. Escalante never disappoints.
After my time in Escalante, I drove back to Colorado, eastbound on I-70. I stopped at a ghost town near the Utah/Colorado border called Cisco. The place seemed mostly deserted, though there were signs of some locals/artists eeking out an existence. Really a sureal place that was peaceful and lonely at the same time. A fun quick little side trip for anyone who has some time to kill.
