We were amazed at how much we enjoyed Saguaro National Park! Getting out among the cacti was an incredible experience, as it allowed us to truly recognize the diversity of life that exists in the desert.
Although White Sands wasn’t quite yet a National Park on our visit, we’ll still count it! We had a great time meandering through the white sand dunes and soaking up the 360 degree sunset views.
This travel update includes a few special mentions: Sandhill Crane migration at Bosque Del Apache (beautiful), Valley of Fires Recreation Area, a note about margaritas in New Mexico, and a tip on some amazing fudge.
Although we had a number of great experiences in Santa Fe, one stood out against the rest: Meow Wolf! It is an amazing artistic experience we are thrilled we were able to experience (#2 in our Top Experiences thus far).
Bandelier National Monument and Canyon Road are other highlights included in this post.
A variety of adventure awaited us in Colorado Springs. Not only did we get to experience Garden of the Gods and Pike’s Peak, but we weathered our first snow storm!
We encountered a special critter on our journey…a rattle snake! Pictures of the snake and Castlewood Canyon State Park are included in this post.
The majestic Rocky Mountains! Our time in the Rockies was filled with fun, family time, and soaking in the glory of the Elk Rutt (our second favorite experience on the road…thus far!).
South Dakota was more beautiful than either of us expected. We enjoyed our visit so much, we stayed an extra week!
Is it possible to pass the hundreds of Wall Drug signs and not stop by?
No, we didn’t think so either. See the blog for pics!
We made a brief stop at The World’s Only Corn Palace on our trip. Every one does, right?!
See our South Dakota post for details about Badlands National Park.
Between visiting friends and family, working to sustain the hull integrity of our RV, and getting familiarized with a new job, we had quite a set of challenges on the road this summer! In this long-overdue post, we will take you on a journey though the mad scurry that ensued.
We had a great time visiting our friend in Ohio, felt like a local in Corydon, Indiana, and met some giants in Kentucky.
The Bourbon Trail, where you can soak up alcohol and a good amount of history.
When not frolicking through the mountains, we had some other unique experiences at our temporary home in Pigeon Forge. In this post, we will share a few highlights!
Here it is! Our #1 Top Experience in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! Get ready for a bit of excitement, in combination with considerable amount of disappointment if you are hoping to see pictures and/or video of our top event. The truth is, that this event cannot be captured in video or photography; at least to the best of our knowledge! So if you like reading and are interested in what exactly this fascinating event is and was to us, come along on this text-heavy adventure as we try to flesh out this event the old-timey way… using words!
This will be our last post about exploration in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park for this leg of the journey! Here we recount a couple of great experiences on the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail and our last nature hike in the park!
