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 …
Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
#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. …

Many of the national parks out west have a wide variation of colors and Bryce Canyon was no different. There was …
Zion National Park, Utah
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 …
