Thanks for the comments guys! One of the things that I loved when we lived in Utah was that you could go on a weekend getaway and feeling like you really were getting away from everything. Of course, all of those getaways were before kids came along for me so I don't think I had any true comprehension what "getting away from it all" meant at that time :)

I was a poor college student when I lived in Utah, so I guess it's understandable that I have not heard of any of these places. They sound wonderful though. Great article!
