Glacier National Park is another of our favorite parks now that we’ve experienced it! The road that runs through the park is called the Going-to-the-Sun Road and it is aptly named, as we climbed higher and higher as we wound our way through the park from the West Entrance up to Logan Pass and then…
The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. We have been visiting with family almost the entire time and have also been really active. Now it is catch-up time! After our stay in Arco, ID, we continued north to a little tourist trap called Lolo Hot Springs. It was about a 40 minute drive…
These flowers posts are becoming a trip tradition. We can’t stop now! Here are pictures of Idaho wildflowers. There is actually a new app for Craters of the Moon National Park, called Flowers of Craters of the Moon that one of the park rangers showed us. So you can see why many more pictures are…
Just down the road from Craters of the Moon was this little gem. It is a building on the outskirts of the land that is sectioned off for Idaho National Laboratory (which is HUGE.) EBR-1 was the first nuclear reactor in the world to generate electricity, way back in 1951. It was decommissioned in 1964…
On our second day in the park, we hiked the Broken Top Trail which circles the Broken Top Cinder Cone. Along this trail were the Buffalo Caves which we poked around in. We also explored Dewdrop, Boy Scout, Beauty, and Indian Tunnel lava tube caves. There was even ice in some of the caves Going…
Craters of the Moon National Park is a pretty incredible place. It sure feels like you have to really want to come here in order to make it all the way out to this area, but once you get here it is very worth it. (Wir haben neulich Craters of the Moon National Park besucht….
Of course this entire trip has been a giant blessing, one that we are appreciating very much and are definitely not taking for granted. Like we’ve said before, we felt like it was time to leave the DC area and move, including taking this time off for all the reasons we described. We definitely felt…
Our last hike in Grand Teton National Park was into Death Canyon. It sounds pretty ominous but we escaped unscathed. One of our water bottles though did not, when it fell to its death down some rocks and into the roaring river… (Hier sind Bilder von unsere Wanderung zu Phelps See und Todes Schlucht.) We…
Originally we weren’t planning on riding the tram, but we found ourselves with a free day with no hiking planned and thought it would be a different view of the area. The Aerial Tram originates out of Teton Village (at an elevation of 6,311 ft), and climbs to the top of Rendezvous Mountain (elevation of…
