+ BenjaminNicholas Posted May 19 Posted May 19 From my visit a couple of weeks ago, Versailles. Even with a guide and skipping the line, you're still going to wait... And it's miserable. Tons of people. Lack of air conditioning. Some rooms that are small and very (VERY) crowded. Even more lines to get into the gardens. I had a much better time walking into town, finding a great little bistro and drinking lunch. Njguy2, + nycman, Marc in Calif and 4 others 2 2 1 1 1

Any time I've been to Paris I thought I should check it out, but something always held me back. I end up finding something else to do in Paris itself. + BenjaminNicholas 1

I've done Upper Antelope, Rattlesnake and Owl canyon. I still want to go back to do Buckskin Gulch. It was these trips that made me fully appreciate how beautiful the desert can be. n2guysnatl, Njguy2 and marylander1940 1 1 1
