It's all good from the brief visit we made up there. We will be in that area right before nabx so I can help you better maybe while we are "all about kites and buggies". :lol:

Head up to Moab Utah and go into needled national park and arches national park. The Easter Jeep safari will be on that week so dont mind the 1000 Jeeps and Buggies running around. Its Gods country up there. Do a google search and see for your self. I took the family there a few years ago. (We where in the Easter Jeep safari for the 5th time) and even the wife was amazed enough to say"we'll be back"

Hook up with me at NABX and I will give you the entire low down as well as hook ups for hotel and restaurants in Springdale. Zion is in my back yard and I have a good bit of local knowledge about the area. Are you bringing mountain bikes? Some of the best riding in the world is right here in Southern Utah.

thanks, for all the notes back from everyone - I'll catch up with everyone at NABX. We are flying down so just the kite gear is enough luggage but that might be an idea to look for a mtn bike rental. I think Fiona is combing over web sites as well.
