During our Utah road trip, we stopped at the Prehistoric Museum in Price and found ourselves face-to-face with dinosaurs, Ice Age giants, and ancient human history. With life-sized fossils, hands-on exhibits, and fascinating local discoveries, this museum turned out to be one of our favorite surprises along the scenic route.

From snow-dusted Canyonlands to touring iconic Monument Valley, the final leg of our trip was packed with stunning views, mechanical mishaps, and the moment Shilo finally accepted Maise. Bonus? A peaceful stay in Clarkdale with mountain views and ancient ruins nearby.

We took a breather under shady trees in Green River, explored dinosaur bones in Price, and wandered the surreal landscape of Goblin Valley—plus detoured 65 miles (and 1.5 hours) for a quick peek at Utah’s Lake Powell. Totally worth it.
