No input on golf from me unfortunately...but hopefully you will be visiting some of the national parks in the area as well - Bryce Canyon and Zion especially. My wife and I did the Angels Landing hike at Zion last year, that was some incredible stuff. There are some less strenuous hikes too, but if you're up for some climbing and heights don't bother you, Angels Landing is incredible.
View from the canyon, you hike all the way up to the top:
The spine you hike up for the last quarter mile. It was a little more than we expected. You're hanging onto chains a good portion of the time. As I told other hikers as we were coming back down - you don't feel like you're going to die, but you don't feel like you're not going to either.
Spine time:
Keep smiling babydoll, we're almost there (yes that is a sheer drop on both sides of her):
Me being rewarded with the view from the top. Just fantastic.
My wife, a chain, and a 1,400 foot drop. It's not like you're dangling off the cliff, but with a couple of missteps you could be gone. I think one or two people fall per year, surprised it's not more. You'd never want to be up there in any sort of precipitation. PS my wife actually does have a head, please ignore my poor camera skills. Although, you must understand that I was on the same ledge.
