Before a new adventure, my husband (like his father) will always say “We quest for adventure”. Our quest for adventure paved the way for Mariposa Travel, which has become our way to remember, document, and share our adventures. We hope this blog inspires you to quest for new adventures!
“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”

Bryce Canyon National Park: Hiking Queen’s Garden & Navajo Loop Trails
Every year people flock to Bryce Canyon National Park to experience the unique rock formations called Hoodoos and other worldly beauty of the park. So we flocked to Bryce Canyon to hike two of the most popular trails, the Navajo Loop Trail and the Queen’s Garden Trail.
Capitol Reef National Park
A trip to Capitol Reef is definitely worth your time. This national park got its name from the white domes of Navajo Sandstone that resemble the dome of the Capitol building. It is a hidden gem dotted with red rock cliffs, canyons, and arches.
Goblin Valley State Park, Utah
As a family we travel for fun, but we also travel for work…that is fun! And work is what brought us to Goblin Valley State Park, located in Southern Utah. Goblin Valley State Park is an otherworldly location with an army of hoodoo goblins. And that was just what we were out to find.
