Well, this post has certainly been sitting in the drafts folder for a while. Life has been a little all over the place the past several months. Simultaneously fast and slow, like there’s not much going on yet we’re somehow always busy. It’s been a few months since we arrived back in Arizona, but IContinue reading “Canyonlands National Park”

Arches National Park
A few years ago we had talked about planning a trip to Utah, but to make a long story short, life happened and we never made it out here. We have several trail friends in various parts of the state, so this drive south seemed like the perfect time to finally visit. Due to ourContinue reading “Arches National Park”
Highlights From Our Drive West
Considering how long it’s been since my last post, I thought a quick look at some of the highlights of the past several months would be the best option. After a full summer of family time back in New England, we’re back in the van full time and finally (almost) back in the warm southwest.Continue reading “Highlights From Our Drive West”
CDT Thru Hike: Yellowstone National Park
A few weeks ago we celebrated two trail milestones, we reached Yellowstone National Park and while we were there we crossed the state line into Wyoming. We entered the park by way of a beautiful ridge trail. This trail was one of my favorites so far, and luckily for us we had great weather forContinue reading “CDT Thru Hike: Yellowstone National Park”
CDT Thru Hike: Glacier National Park
Hello everyone! It’s been almost a month since we hit the trail, and what a month it’s been! On June 25th we finally set out on our long-awaited thru hike. Since the Canada border is still closed we couldn’t start at the official CDT northern terminus, so our hike began on the Chief Mountain alternateContinue reading “CDT Thru Hike: Glacier National Park”
Bandelier National Monument
Rather than go into detail about the history in Frijoles Canyon and Bandelier myself, I’ll let you all read more about it elsewhere if you’re interested; I could write a few thousand words and barely scratch the surface. The Bandelier NPS page has a brief (and likely whitewashed) history, or there’s always the option ofContinue reading “Bandelier National Monument”
Saguaro National Park
Hello hello, since our last post was focused on caves, we’re going to keep this one above ground and take it back to the week we spent in and around Tucson for a quick look at our visit to Saguaro National Park. The park is split into two sections, one on either side of Tucson.Continue reading “Saguaro National Park”
All About Caves!
Hi everyone, as promised in the last post, this one is all about how in a short month and a half we’ve found a new hobby, or if we’re being honest, a new obsession. This might be a lot to ask, but do you remember back in our Carlsbad Caverns National Park post I toldContinue reading “All About Caves!”
White Sands National Park
I know, I know, it’s another national park post. We have done more than just visit national parks, but New Mexico has so many good ones! And like Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands has been on my list of places to visit for a while. So we’ll show you our visit to this park now andContinue reading “White Sands National Park”
Guadalupe Mountains National Park
Today we’re going to show you a few hikes from one of the other national parks we’ve recently enjoyed; another one with which we’ve absolutely fallen in love. About a 40 mile drive south of Carlsbad Caverns, in the same mountain range but just over the border into Texas, is Guadalupe Mountains National Park. ThisContinue reading “Guadalupe Mountains National Park”
