Summer 2025 Vacation: Delta UT & Great Basin National Park!

We're about half-way done with our Summer 2025 vacation memories. We left AZ early July 8th headed for the great state of UT and Great Basin National Park. 

If you've never driven through the beautiful cavernous highways of AZ take a look at this video.

We settled in at our campsite at Antelope Valley RV Park in Delta, UT. (A little confusing because in a few days we're going to visit Antelope Island which is outside of Salt Lake City). 

Anyway...

Delta UT is about 99 miles south of Great Basin National Park but it's a close as we could get. Since we arrived in Delta around 2 pm, we rested for the evening and set out early the next morning. My honey pulls the camper so today I'm driving so he can relax and enjoy the scenery. We saw a few antelope on the way there but not much else.

There are some hiking trails in the park but our time was limited so we opted to take the road to the highest summit reachable by vehicle. I've uploaded a couple of videos for you to enjoy Here and Here.

If you've never driven in the mountains, let me tell you it's a harrowing experience! I drove some while on our 2017 West Coast vacation and the years in between did me no favors in developing nerves of steel 😬😂still... Great Basin is beautiful to visit and well worth the long road there and back from Antelope Valley RV park.

This lovely campground had new showers and though a bit tight, they were nice and clean and the restroom stalls had two of my favorite things: seat covers and paper towels which had me singing a happy tune. 

We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Rancher Cafe and the next morning headed out to Salt Lake City for the next leg of our trip.

Hope you enjoy reminiscing with me. I'm taking a break during the holidays but hope you'll check back in the new year as I continue to share my 2025 vacation memories with you!

Until then, take care, God bless and remember to travel light ~ leaving expectations and emotional baggage behind!
