Arches National Park
Arches National Park, home of the iconic Delicate Arch, is a must visit in Utah.
Glacier National Park
There is no other place I've visited that comes close to the beauty and experience that Glacier National Park offers. It’s a National Park filled with remote wilderness, aqua glacial lakes, majestic mountains, and vast glaciers. To say this was the most anticipated stop on my road trip is an understatement! Because there's so much... Continue Reading →
Bryce Canyon National Park
Utah is must on any road trip for a reason! Among the many, varied National Parks in this state is the small but mighty Bryce Canyon National Park.

Hermitage Point – Grand Teton National Park
My drive to Grand Teton was an experience in itself. On highway 287, you get unobstructed views of mountains and vast open land. I didn’t really know what an open sky was until this drive. During the 7 hour trip, we made several stops — 1) a wildlife sighting area where we saw prairie dogs... Continue Reading →
Mt. Ida – Rocky Mountain National Park

While it’s a short hike (and probably considered one of the easier peaks to tackle in RMNP), this 9.6 Miles is not for the faint of heart. Before any major hike, I... Continue Reading →
