Bluff...the Best Place in Utah! |
Shh. This is a secret.
The best place to stay in southern Utah is Bluff.
While tiny in size (pop: 250? 300? 400?), when it comes to fun Bluff is HUGE! Why? Because of all the things you can do and see nearby. We use Bluff (the Recapture Lodge) as our base of exploration. From here you can head south to Monument Valley for a day trip, west to Valley of the Gods, Comb Ridge, Grand Gulch, Natural Bridges and beyond, North to Canyonlands (eastside), and east to Hovenweep and Mesa Verde. Here are some pics of one of our recent trips there.
