也来凑热闹, 圣诞UTAH行计划

这里真是个好地方, 人心善良, 视野开阔, 景色迷人,让人流连忘返.

我是上个月计划 UTAH 圣诞行时, 搜寻到erdong的大作, 一脚踩进了这个坛子.潜水一个月有余,真是叹为观止. Deepcreek,apuma, mengxu, moab, 一家三口在路上, Iliketraveling......还有好多作者, 你们的文章图文并茂,回答别人的问题时热情周到. 很佩服大家贡献自己的时间,精力和热情来写游记,贴照片.也很羡慕你们素未谋面却真挚纯洁的情谊.

闲话少叙, 来看我的计划吧. 按大家经验, 升级了相机(NikonD80 +18mm-200mm镜头),SUV 是去年买的,备上厚衣服,装备齐全,等着圣诞到来. 一想到UTAH那些红色的岩石,我就热血沸腾呀.

综合前辈们的游记(真谢谢大家的宝贵经验),费尽心血计划, 大家提提建议吧, 还有什么要注意的?
另请教:
1. Antolop valley 是否值得一去呢?
2. 在lake powvell 上是自己租power boat玩好, 还是坐tour 游船好玩?
power boat挺贵, $230 一天, (现在没有只租半天的了.) 我们只有两个人开, 又怕累. 有12/23 或 12/24 到 lake powvell 同游的朋友吗? 我们可以share.
3. 请问有人去了Rainbow bridge 吗? 那儿风景如何?
4.Mengxu 提到的Coyote Butts, 有更多资料吗?
5. 请推荐Las vegas 的 show.
