15 Most Common Travel Scams and How to Avoid Them

15 Most Common Travel Scams and How to Avoid Them

Most of us are also extremely trusting when we travel.  You have to put yourself out there and put your trust in other people to a certain extent when you travel someplace you are unfamiliar with.  For this reason, most of us like to think the best of the people we meet and interact with when we travel.

However, not every travel deal you encounter is legitimate and not everyone you cross paths with during your travels will be genuine and honest.  For that reason, you need to be careful when you are booking your travel and when you are out-and-about on trips.

Reflection Canyon Trail Guide: Visiting Glen Canyon’s Hidden Gem

Reflection Canyon Trail Guide: Visiting Glen Canyon’s Hidden Gem

There are a number of spectacularly beautiful backcountry hikes that you can take in the Southern Utah area, but my favorite is undoubtedly the hike to Reflection Canyon in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. While it is one of the most breathtaking hikes that you will find in the area, it is also one of the most difficult. There is no marked trail to help you navigate the roughly 15-mile round trip hike thru slot canyons and deep washes, and shelter from the blistering sun is almost non-existent. That’s why I believe this trail earns every bit of the “Difficult” rating that it has been given. The awe-inspiring beauty of Reflection Canyon is definitely something that all backcountry hikers should see in their lifetime, but it is important that you are prepared for this hike before setting out. I have created this Reflection Canyon trail guide to help you with that preparation so that you can complete this hike safely and successfully.
