| I've never been on a real vacation (such as out of the state or country), but I'm with RockGremlin--little excursions into the Swell or other areas around Utah are my favorite getaways. And since I rarely have to travel more than 100 miles from home, I go on vacation quite often. :D |

Aw, you guys make a great couple!
My fave vacations so far have been the Green River Lakes, WY and mountain biking near Stanley, ID, soaking in hot springs at night and camping on the Salmon River.
That's where I go when I go to my happy place. But I haven't been too many places. |

Hard one, since I try to hit a different spot each time. Hard part is, once me and some LOYAL friends "try out" a destination that is successful, then everybody says "Oh man, you've got to go back next year and I'll go this time". So there's a few repeats.
My first favorite destination in my teens was horseback-camping in the Uintas.
Early 20's, it was Jeeping in Moab, then evolved into mtn biking.
Mid 20's it was anywhere surfable.
Lately it's been backpacking trips. Havasu Canyon has been my favorite backpacking destination so far, and the Wind Rivers are making their way to the front line as well.

Yeah, I've got some cruise pics too. I've wondered whether to post them or not. Maybe I'll post them in the "Boating" forum. :ne_nau: It's not exactly Utah Outdoors, but we could all use some "Cruise Planning Tips".
I'd say post 'em! |

| The WindRiver Mnts are awesome! I'm about 2 hrs south of the headwaters for the Green River - Green River Lakes. This years' windriver 'vacation' was Camp Newfork - BSA for a week...beautiful in the summer but it can still snow & get you if youre not prepared. Our Varsity Team & Explorer post goes every couple of years and spends a week hiking the range from Green River Lakes south to Big Sandy area. |

I've never been to any tropical destinations.
I really like South Padre Island, its a great place to party, and the last time I was there it was still very low key. However, my most favorite place is the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Preferably Okracoke. |

South Padre Island, Texas.
Its mostly undeveloped. You hit the end of the pavement, drive through the dunes and onto the beach, and go North. After awhile, you start seeing alot less people, and its widely accepted as a nude beach.
These pics are old and a little fuzzy, sorry. |
