After we left Grand Teton and Yellowstone, we drove straight up to Montana to visit Glacier! This was Jeffrey’s favorite park so far (#13 on our trip). Overall, the park is absolutely beautiful and it wasn’t nearly as crowded as the others. There is a small town outside of the park that we stayed in …
National park number #12 for us! Similar to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone is one of the most talked about national parks. Millions of visitors come every year hoping to see picturesque Old Faithful blow with a buffalo standing nearby. We had that exact experience when we visited! We spent 1 day in the park and …
After we left South Dakota, we headed further west towards Wyoming. Wyoming is home to two popular national parks. Our first stop was to national park #11, Grand Teton! We drove straight in from SD so when we arrived we were hungry and tired. That didn’t stop our excitement when we saw wild buffalo on …
National Park #10! It feels a bit odd writing a blog about this park as there isn’t much to say.. but hopefully my few bits of information will help prepare your expectations when visiting Wind Cave. When we visited the Black Hills we were close enough for a day trip into Wind Cave. I mentioned …
Badlands was our 9th national park and it felt like we were on Mars again! We had some serious storms on our drive into Badlands and actually got hit with another storm when we left. We drove in from 90 onto 240 towards the Ben Reifel Visitors Center. The visitors center was closed so we …
#8 on our National Park tour! Cuyahoga Valley was a pleasant surprise for a few reasons, one of them being the easy scenic drive through the park (that’s RV friendly!). We were also surprised to see so many cyclists in the park but there are many paved and off-road trails if you love to cycle. …
Canyonlands National Park was #6 on our trip and is the largest National Park in Utah. This park was my husbands favorite park that we visited. You enter the park from a long highway with nothing but livestock around. Island in the Sky was the first place we visited. This is a nice overlook of …
Our 4th park and my absolute favorite so far was Arches National Park. This is one of those places that you’re constantly asking yourself “is this a real place” and “am I on the same planet”. There are so many layers to this park and I’m determined that you could spend a week here and …
Bryce Canyon National Park was our third national park. We headed to Bryce Canyon right after Zion. This place was truly a masterpiece. The hoodoos and natural arches were amazing to see in person. Many of the national parks out west have a wide variation of colors and Bryce Canyon was no different. There was …
Zion National Park was our #2 national park and it did not disappoint. We’ve heard so many great things about this place so we were excited to kick off our west coast trip with this location. The colors and textures of the cliffs and hoodoos were so unreal. We drove our personal vehicle through the …
