Capitol Reef National Park

Better late than never, right? At least that’s what I’m telling myself since it’s now been several months since the events in this post took place. I recently said to Matt that for two people who don’t seem to have a lot going on, we certainly somehow also end up busy and behind on things.Continue reading “Capitol Reef 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.

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”

Carlsbad Caverns National Park

We recently started tracking national parks and national forests the two of us have visited together. It’s not necessarily a goal to check them all off, at least not in any particular time frame. Since we hit four national forests and a national park on the drive south though, we thought it might be funContinue reading “Carlsbad Caverns National Park”
