Arizona & Utah Road Trip (Photos) – Horseshoe Bend, Monument Valley, Devil’s Garden
$60 + 2.5 days + 5 destinations. Road trip.
Like I just said in “Ballin’ on a Budget,” you can afford to travel.
I hopped in a car with two people I didn’t know (we had met via Instagram) and two friends from high school, and made a nine hour overnight trek from Los Angeles/ Orange County to catch sunrise at Monument Valley, Utah.

After a quick brunch and introductions, we were off to see some long-coveted views:
2 Hours to Horseshoe Bend, Arizona
The photos don’t do it justice. Seriously, it was that “moment of awe” I’ve experienced at Halong Bay, Vietnam.
Since we would be staying in the small town of Kanab, we went back to Utah to:
2 Hours to Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Utah for sunset
Yes, I got dressed to enjoy the sunset. Sorry, I’m not sorry.
The next morning, we caught sunrise at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Before hiking to this area, there is literally a point called “Sunrise Point” at Bryce Canyon. Well played, #IgersWithoutBorders!
As most of the group was spending the night in Escantante, we went towards the town 4 hours.
Not of course, without a little road trip signature fun:
Finally, we caught sunset at the Devil’s Garden in Utah:
