Reflecting on our trip

Throughout our 2 month trip and especially now that we've returned, we've been asked "what's your favorite park?" and "which ones would you go back to?" Now that we've had a week to unwind, settle down and think

Home ... for a bit!

What an amazing trip we have had! Two months on the road and we saw so many amazing sights it's tough to summarize it all. But here goes ... Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Valley of the Gods, Gooseneck State Park, Natural Bridges National Monument, Dead Horse State Park,

Not every travel day is amazing

We had an inauspicious start to our latest travel day. It was 100 degrees in Lake Havasu the morning we left but as we headed out to the east we gained some altitude and the temperature came down to mid 70's. We ran into blinding rain three times,

Lake Havasu and the London Bridge

We've been hanging out in national parks that are above 5-6000' for several weeks and today was a shocker! Our last campground outside Sequoia got hot during the day but we were mostly in the parks hiking in the wonderful 75 degrees and shade up there! Today

Yellowstone National Park, WY

We visited Yellowstone and were amazed at the enormity of the park and the incredible variety of scenery - mountains, canyons, rivers, forests, falls and wildlife plus what really makes it unique among national parks - the active geology that leads to stunning geysers, mud pots, pools, steam vents and

Grand Tetons, Moose and Bears!

What a glorious day! Kim and I feel blessed to have seen so much beauty in one day! I woke up to a moose wandering the campsite, we hiked back to Hidden Falls in the national park and saw three bears on the way back! Click the link below to

The Great Salt Lake, UT

While enroute to Grand Teton National Park from Bryce and Zion National Parks, we took a travel break in the Salt Lake City area. We went to see some of the Salt Lake City area including the Great Salt Lake.  It was about a 40 minute drive back to the

Zion National Park, UT

We completed our Utah "Big 5" sweep at Zion National Park! It's a beautiful park and one of the most popular. I'm glad we were there fairly early in the season so the crowds weren't so bad. Check out the full article
